Re: [gentoo-user] Re: Windows keys in vterms?
EXTENDED_KEYMAP=windowskeys grepping /etc for where this takes effect shows that /etc/init.d/keymaps includes a line that effectively seems to run windowskeys as a parameter to loadkeys.

Re: [gentoo-user] Re: Windows keys in vterms?
Any more insight given by grep and find? Found it with a quick google. On an extended Microsoft keyboard, we have the additional keys as follows (models vary, this is from the Keyboard-and-Console HOWTO, page 14, as mirrored on ibiblio.org): Left Windows: e05b Right Windows: e05c Menu: e05d Internet Keyboard also uses Back: e06a Forward:e069 Stop: e068 Mail: e06c Search: e065 Favourites: e066 Web/Home: e032 My Computer:e06b Calculator: e021 Sleep: e05f dumpkeys can show you what keycodes are still not used by your current keyboard setting. In the case of the box I tested on, I was able to use the 125-127 noted by the HOWTO. The following commands set these codes: setkeycodes e05b 125 setkeycodes e05c 126 setkeycodes e05d 127 This can now tell the computer something interesting about pressing these keys. Unfortunately, they still don't do anything. Fortunately, there's a program called loadkeys. Run it and type the following: keycode 125 = Decr_Console keycode 126 = Incr_Console ^D I don't know what the special name for flipping consoles is, but this is very basic. I assume one could also run `loadkeys keymapping` where keymapping has the map that you want. I have not tested that out yet - it's one I want to try due to the ease of adding that into load scripts. All this just for getting one of the better features of Gentoo elsewhere ;) MIKE Me again, MIKE -- Beware the JabberOrk -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list

I used typename instead of class, but they should be interchangeable (if you

Re: [gentoo-user] c++ template question
To instantiate a template, the compiler has to have the source available. You hid the definitions of the constructor and destructor from it by putting it in b.cpp, so while it got the class definition when you included the .h, it did not have the function definitions. You got the error at the link stage for the same reason you would with a normal function; when the compiler sees a function declaration without a definition, it assumes the function will be linked later. The problem is not that it's not being defined (it should be linked in by ld if he's got his makefile set up). You should never need to put function bodies in your .h files (in fact, it's usually not recommended because it's harder to get deps correct in your Makefile, more things need to be recompiled etc.) *thinks for a bit* ... wait, no, in this specific case, you're right. I found that g++ could not compile templates properly if the source was not inlined in the .h file ... that is, it goes into an infinite compile loop. They may have fixed that by now, but I don't know. To fix this remove the #include from b.cpp and either move its contents into b.h or #include b.cpp in b.h. Obviously those are the same as far as the compiler is concerned. I would suggest you consult your favorite C++ text if you need more information; you should have a starting point now. What he really wants to do is ensure that they're linked together. The way that's done is g++ -c b.cpp; g++ -o main main.cpp b.o; It could likely be done in one line, but this way shows you the basis for the Makefile (which you should write for any C++ project). Also, the (I believe) syntax error in the b.cpp file, which I pointed out in another message. -Heschi MIKE -- Beware the JabberOrk -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list

Re: [gentoo-user] Which laptop vendors officially supports linux?
I was wondering if there was any laptop vendors that officially supports linux? Eurocom. I know linux can work, with more or less tweakings, on most laptops, but which brand actually have enough guts to officially say that linux works well on some or all of their laptops? Eurocom. They have a list of all their laptops, and which versions of RedHat they have tested on them - and what works, what doesn't. Gentoo will be about the same - that is, those laptops they say don't work likely won't work with G or RH. Thanks, Cedric MIKE -- Beware the JabberOrk -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list
Re: [gentoo-user] USB permissions
I've put my normal user into the USB group and I was wondering what else I
need to do to access my camera and USB port(s).
Anyone run across this problem before? I'm running gentoo 1.4rc4 fully
updated.
Somewhere on the 'net, I found an app called usb_perms. I can't remember
where I found it - it was likely off of the USB digital camera howto on
tldp.org (great site for learning things!).
Here is the init.d script that I wrote to control it at bootup:
/etc/init.d/usb_perms--
#!/sbin/runscript
start() {
ebegin Starting usb-perms
/usr/local/sbin/usb_perms -d
eend $? Failed to start usb-perms
}
stop() {
ebegin Stopping usb-perms
kill $(cat /var/run/usb_perm.pid)
eend $? Failed to stop usb-perms
}
---
Stick this in /etc/init.d/, chmod +x it, then do an rc-update add usb_perms
default then start it up.
Unfortunately, I can't tell you _where_ I found usb_perms. I've got a copy of
the tarball lying around - give me a private email if you can't find it and
want it.
Thanks,
Robert

[gentoo-user] World file?
I have a question about the world file. How do I specify the versions? I emerged X 4.3 yesterday, and now it wants to get rid of it, even though I put =x11-base/xfree-4.3 in my world file. Another possible extention, that I've mentioned before, but not seen any discussion about the possibility of, is having variables set there, so I could do ACCEPT_KEYWORDS=~x86 x11-base/xfree MIKE -- Beware the JabberOrk -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list
