Re: [e-users] Graphics arch
Current Intel GPUs work pretty well with current E, though they're slow and personally I've had a lot of stability issues. I always get a Radeon / AMD when I can - I've been running one on my server for the past 3 years or so and it's much nicer and actually stable. I know some devs here would disagree and suggest you stay away from AMD. For ( accelerated ) Wayland support at the moment, it's either Intel or AMD.

I did have one, but think I had removed it. ii efl1.10.2.b-1 amd64 efl I guess I can try again, but aren't library versions supposed to prevent the wrong library with the wrong symbols from being used should 2 versions be installed at the same time? If you install and load the .Xmodmap attached, does enlightenment work ok for you? Can you type right alt e and get é, and then things work ok afterwards?

Good guess, I do have a trackpoint (thinkpad) I am not going to tell you how stupid it is to change this suddenly since it's not E's fault, but this is ridiculous :( (because you know, no one uses the middle button on linux) For now I'm back to saruman:~$ xinput set-prop 12 "libinput Button Scrolling Button" 0 property 'libinput Button Scrolling Button' doesn't exist, you need to specify its type and format but that's likely because I downgraded everything back. > To fix, you can disable the option.

Are you using a trackpoint? Seems like scroll wheel emulation is enabled for your middle button. A recent version of libinput made this the default. To fix, you can disable the option. E doesn't have a libinput config panel, but you can use xinput.

[e-users] Problem with Viewport
Hello folks! I came across the following problem on my laptop recently. It seems that a vertical stripe of width ~ 3 cm on the right edge of the screen is not used by Enlightenment as if the right edge of the screen were shifted to the left by 3 cm or as if it were missing from the viewport. Right clicking somewhere in this area the context menu pops up at the "imaginary" right edge of the screen (i.e. shifted to left by ~3 cm). Any idea what is going on and how I can correct it? Any help is very much appreciated. Regards Nik PS: I'm running Enlightenment 0.21.3 on Archlinux (64bit). -- Check out the vibrant tech community on one of the world's most engaging tech sites, SlashDot.org! http://sdm.link/slashdot ___ enlightenment-users mailing list enlightenment-users@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/enlightenment-users
[e-users] Graphics arch
I have a quite old notebook, it will find seven candles on the next birthday cake and I'm afraid it will be time to buy a new one. Regarding graphics, what would be the best bet for a linux user, and more specifically for an E user? What is best supported by drivers? For example, I currently have an old intel chip (gma 4500) that doesn't work anymore in GL mode so I had to switch to software compositing, and I'm worried that the integrated graphics in Intel Core i5 series processors could give me some problems.
