Konq loading is fast but ...
I noticed a strange behaviour regarding konqi loading speed : - when konqi is launched from the minicli, it is fast ( 1s) - when it is launched by (for instance) kfmclient, it is slow (2~3s) Do you know if there is any explanation ? -- Sylvain Joyeux

What do we need arts for?
I don't understand why kde is so closely tied to arts? Speaking from my personal experience, what arts is mostly good for is getting in the way of my sound driver. Since I started using alsa, there has been no correlation between arts and the hardware. It's like I have two sound systems competing with each other, and arts is cripled since it can't adjust the mixer volumes. I'd really rather not use arts at all.

Go into the Control Center, under Sound Multimedia, select Sound Server. Uncheck 'Start at login', and then use non-kde multimedia apps, like xmms, etc. All you'll be missing is the System Sounds (which I never, ever, turn on) and the use of noatun, kaboodle, etc (which some people don't like, apparently :-). arts isn't magic, and KDE doesn't have a run-time dependency on it. -- D.A.Bishop
Re: mouse moves on its own.
Hi since 2 weeks or so my mouse becomes crative. It thinks it should move to the right or the left, I think it never moved up and down, without asking me. That is not a kindly behavior. Is this a problem related to XFree and will be fixed in 4.3 (current installed 4.2.1.1) or is it kde related and will be fixed in kde 3.2? Or has it nothing to do with anything and will never be fixed? :-) Ok - I know that this was disucced in the past. So if s.o. can tell me where to read about i am grad. I think that you are describing the problem where the cursor drawn on the screen and the place where it clicks when you press a button are offset. You can fix this by putting the following line into the Device section of XF68Config-4 where your video card is described: Option sw_cursor true Hope this helps James Wells

It could also be gpm. Make sure gpm is NOT RUNNING while the X Server is running. You can run `/etc/init.d/gpm stop` to stop the gpm daemon if it is running. I don't personally use gpm so I created a false /etc/init.d/gpm file that basically has exit 0 at the top to keep any packages who might installed gpm from actually starting it in the future.

If you have a good sound card you can output multiple simultaneously, or if you can manage to convince upstream alsa to fix the alsa-lib to work right with their dmix plugin it will even work for cheap sound cards. Otherwise you have to use a daemon such as artsd/esd/etc. BTW - as far as functionality is concerned arts is more roughly equal to gstreamer than to esd.

Only cards that physically support multiopen support it in ALSA. You can of course attempt to use dmix, which is part of alsa-lib, but some of the alsa-lib functions are fubar, so they do not work with dmix, as I mentioned in my other post.
