Thanks for that; the thread is informative. I missed it the first time, other-forum-flamewar distractions. Keyring looks like yet another Gnome3 shitification, which I haven't encountered with the Mate fork of Ubuntu. The "Mate" desktop is a fork of the plain-vanilla Gnome2 desktop, unpolluted by Gnome3 gesture-based controls and shitty font rendering on large-pixel displays. Just the thing for anti-fashionistas like me. ----- BTW, related to large pixel displays, I'm swapping emails with Xue Yao, a Singapore EE student who is making a batch of upgrade motherboards for the classic Lenovo T60 laptop. Probably $1200 a pop; expensive, but it will help me keep using Linux as a production tool, the way I am used to. But then, I use hand tools that my grandfather brought with him from Sweden, more than a century ago. I have T60 laptops with 1024x768 and 1400x1050 pixel stock displays, and a couple with BIOS-hacked 2048x1536 displays. For most applications, I prefer the sparse-pixel T60 laptops, better suited for my sparse-pixel retinas. I hope this works more smoothly than a similar motherboard upgrade project for the Lenovo Thinkpad T30 by the Shenzen Linux User's Group. A successful project, but not for me; we ran into problems with PRC export control. Keith -- Keith Lofstrom [email protected]
