3D with r6xx/r7xx chipsets
Why did you remove the '3D with r6xx/r7xx chipsets' section from the Radeon article? Are builds with experimental 3D support now in the official portage tree? --Mqduck 00:46, 2 December 2009 (GMT)
 * It talked about ebuilds not available in either the portage tree or the x11 overlay. The r6xx/r7xx mesa code has also been merged with master, so adding instructions on emerging live ebuilds and using a .32 kernel is the way to go about now. /Ni1s 04:32, 2 December 2009 (GMT)

Glad to see you added it. I figured out what all needs to go into packages.keywords, but I'm not confident enough that I know what I'm doing to change the page. Specifically, if version X or higher of a packages is called for but that exact version doesn't exist in the portage tree (one example, xorg-server-1.7), should the next highest version be specified (in this case, xorg-server-1.7.1)? That's what I assume, and here's what I ended up with: --Mqduck 10:05, 6 December 2009 (GMT)
 * Ouch! Too many packages... Lists are a bad idea, as they are horrible to maintain. Advising on the use of or to patiently add them to, one by one, as emerge stops and shout, would be nicer. /Ni1s 23:48, 6 December 2009 (GMT)

Grub2 with Microsoft Windows on a second drive
Say, I noticed you had added content on the Microsoft Windows Entry section of the Grub2 article and, from what I can tell from the history, you updated configuration instructions that were more relevant to Grub Legacy than to Grub 2. There are hundreds of changes for the article, so forgive me if I'm mistaken in identifying your direct contribution to this new information in the article. I was particularly curious about the part that recommends setting root simply to hd1 rather than hd1,1 if Windows has its own MBR on a second hard drive. Why is this recommended? Luckily for me, the scenario described in this section is almost exactly like my hard drive setup. I've specifically wanted the MBR that Windows maintains to be virtually untouched by Fedora 13 (in my case), given Windows's known fickleness with neighboring OS's. I tried out the configuration in this section of the article and it worked perfectly for me. It looks like Windows can work with other operating systems, as long as it still thinks it's the only one :-) Thanks again for your help and all your contributions to building accurate and useful resources about Linux.

 * I might have done some cosmetic changes to this section but as to the meat of it all I'm no expert(don't have Windows installed). Nice too hear it works you you thou! /Ni1s 12:45, 23 August 2010 (GMT)

Reason behind removing headers in Avahi Howto?
Atm, the whole page is only about "sharing" services, not about actually using them, which is a TODO on the discussion page. I wanted to start out on adding more information about the "use cases", thats why I added subsections for cups. Same thing would make sense for Apache and Samba for example, which I was planning to add soon. While I agree that subsections make the TOC more ugly, they help in finding needed information faster. Also, the "talky" bit should go into a NOTE or something, but not get simply removed, since what I describe there is no ZEROconf, it is 0.5 conf and unfortunately nobody can confirm or explain if/how it works with real zero configuration. I still am 99% sure it just worked without any configuration, but ##cups and #avahi (on freenode) were not helping and the cups page has a neglect on details about zeroconf. I was going to add hard facts after finding them, which is harder than I thought. --The mgt 11:53, 18 January 2011 (GMT)
 * My apologizes if this was part of a larger series of commits. The reasons for removing the headings is because I really didn't really think we need one for every paragraph and the "talky" because of its narrative mode(I did this, I think so, etc.). You could slap a under the Cups heading and we'll know more is on its way. /Ni1s 17:41, 18 January 2011 (GMT)

Re-Licensing radeon for Official Wiki
You are a major editor of radeon, which I want to port to the official wiki. Do you object to re-licensing your contributions to this (or any) articles? All the best, Hangfire 15:09, 21 November 2011 (GMT)
 * Fine with me. /Ni1s 20:45, 21 November 2011 (GMT)

KMS and EDID
Hi, I tried to reach you at irc but I was unable to. I've updated the ArchWiki page of KMS to include some info about how to load a custom EDID, which is better than forcing a mode with video=. Could you please update Gentoo Wiki page as well? I'm not very used to Gentoo Wiki and I would prefer that someone "native" to Gentoo updates the page, but in two weeks I will check and if there is no update I will then update, if you don't mind. Thanks in advance. (sorry, forgot signature the 1st edit)--Jacobopantoja 10:08, 26 March 2013 (GMT)
