[gentoo-user] Extra buttons on my keyboard
Hi there. I have a Toshiba A70 here, and it has some nice media buttons on the left, and I really want them to work on Linux. I have tried a lot. I have tried xev with no success, and emerged linEAK and it wasn't able to detect them. I still have Windows XP on the computer. Oh, and DMESG also does not detect them. Do you guys have any ideas? I am willing to donate some time to get these things to work. Im not much of a coder, but if there is any other way for me to help get these things to work, I would love to help.

I have a similar question. My Laptop (Toshiba Satellite A70) does have SVideo Out, and I really need that to work. I saw on the ATI site that their propriatary Linux drivers were not for notebooks. Is that true, and is there an extra package (open source) I could emerge for Open Source support on SVideo? For the record, its an ATI Mobility Radeon 9000. Thanks!!! __ Do You Yahoo!? Tired of spam?

[gentoo-user] Question about a driver
Hi there, I posted a problem I was having on the Forums. I initially got good responses, but suddenly no one is responding. Maybe you guys/gals could help me. Here is an exerpt from my post: The following is a quote from a mailing list archive I was pointed to: Quote: all i did was toss out pcmcia-cs modules and use the kernel pcmcia drivers (and patch hostap into the kernel of course - which is what i didn't do the first time around). kernel pcmcia has no problems with the ricoh cradle, so it just worked. [/quote] (I am having issues getting the kernel to recognize this PCMCIA slot. [ricoh]) In order to tell you how I interperet this quote from the site you gave me, I need to explain that I have everything compiled right into the kernel (non modular), such as the main PCMCIA support, both 16&32bit, etc. The only modular item I have is the yenta socket one. So basically, I need to know how to put this hostap thing into the kernel. Can you help me out? I still am extending that question. How do I put this hostap thing into the kernel, if that is what I need to do. --Your prompt reply would be MUCH appreciated.-- Ian __ Do You Yahoo!? Tired of spam? Yahoo!

I think I figured it out. Here is my output:
bash-2.05b$ firefox
\No running windows found
/home/omega21/.gtk_qt_engine_rc:62: error: unexpected
character `{', expected character `}'
/usr/libexec/mozilla-launcher: line 547: 16841
Segmentation fault "$mozbin" "$@"
firefox-bin exited with non-zero status (139)
I now realize that Gaim, Firefox & Thunderbird are all
GTK, and Im using qt-gtk-engine. That must be the
issue.
Can I get these things to work though with QT-GTK,
because GTK without a theme -- well, no one deserves
to see it. :)

[gentoo-user] Random crash
Hi there. Right now, Im typing this in webmail because none of my Mozilla products are working right. And now that I think of it, Gaim is doing the same thing. What happens is: >I start the program (firefox // thunderbird // gaim) >After what seems to be a random time, it suddenly closes. At first I thought it was a priority issue, so I set every process to 0, while setting each of these programs up to -20. It didn't work. I also restarted the computer, and updated firefox and thunderbird (emerge -u), with no effect. I have no idea whats wrong.Can anyone offer any suggestions? Its really a pain to use webmail. Im using Konqueror by te way, which is working fine. Im on KDE 3.4.0, and Gentoo 2.6.9-rc1-mm2. (I have not upgraded the kernel or DE recently.) Thanks in advance! Ian __ Do You Yahoo!?
