It's different on every operating system. Isn't it one of the goals of hal ? It does exist outside of Linux (in FreeBSD for instance: http://www.freebsd.org/gnome/docs/halfaq.html). The problem is that it's deprecated. But you have a point that the FreeDesktop initiative tries to fulfill part of those wishes. -- catwell
Re: [arch-general] A universal Operating System API - why don't we have it?
You cannot write an application for windows and expect it to work on Linux. Java? The success of the language is based around the fact that almost every computer has the runtime installed, regardless of operating system. Does that not count as a global API? Laurie

Re: [arch-general] Automount
Huh. I must have done this with a previous version of KDE or PolicyKit. Now, I don't have the same number of entries in that dialog and all of the ones that I remember setting are missing now.

[arch-general] stellarium and x with intel 965
Hi folks, Stellarium won't run properly in my ThinkPad R61 with Intel 965 graphic card. The main window with stars, labels, grids etc. looks fine, but all the dialogs and toolbars' icons are distorted and not readable at all. The screenshot is at [1]. stellarium 0.10.2-3 xorg-server 1.7.3.901-1 xorg driver intel I've checked it with the same configuration with different HW (EEE PC) - it works perfectly. Any ideas? Thanks, Sergey [1] http://ingeniware.com/downloads/images402b3d63aad79fe059b514174bffe4ae/stellarium.png
Re: [arch-general] stellarium and x with intel 965
Hey, I have the same problem. Is that related to the intel driver? stellarium 0.10.2-3 xf86-video-intel 2.9.1-1 xorg-server 1.7.3.901-1 libdrm 2.4.16-1 libgl 7.6-2 mesa 7.6-2 mesa 7.6-2 It's on my thinkpad T400, intel X4500MHD graphic card. In addition, after a recent upgrade(i think it's about libdrm), I notice the output of glxgears fallen by half(from 1000FPS-500FPS). I am not sure if they are related.
