A KDE version was available since version ... hmm... 2.1 ;) Seriously, M.A.M.E is NOT an emulator of an Atari - it emulates those old big console machines (not home consoles) with games starting from PacMan, Donkey Kong, etc (it support hundred of games already) and it's Linux/Unix port is available (and updated) for more then 3 years now. It's also a great example (if you look at the code) for good processor emulation (where are those days were things were simple.. User mode, Supervisor mode, 16 registers - yup, Motorola 68000 processor).

latin keyboard layout - REPOSTED
A while ago I aksed the following question, but got no answer. This is becoming very important: I need to use umlauted (for German) and accented (for French) characters. I have no desire to learn a radically new keyboard layout; Qwerty and Israeli is enough for me. I found a keyboard layout's images here: http://crl.nmsu.edu/~mleisher/keyboards/latin.html The images show what happens when pressing Alt, Alt-Gr, CTRL, shift or no helper key. (One problem is that I have no idea how to make my keyboard have that Alt-Gr.) I played around with KDE's keyboard selector, but could not find what layout the web page's corresponds to. So... * Does anybody know of another keyboard layout that covers pretty much the same breadth of accented characters as the one on the web page above (I need umlauts and accents at the very least. All additional characters, such as copyright, trademark, ... are a boon), or * does anybody recognize which keyboard layout the web page displays and what setting I should use to replicate that under X? in the console? Finally, I was wondering about the model. I have my "keyboard model" set to generic 104 pc. However, my extra keyboard (primary keyboard is the laptop's builtin one, but I often use an external keyboard) has 107 keys, the 104 layout plus power, sleep and wake up keys, yet there is no 107 key layout. How do I make X recognize those keys exist (I will worry about mapping something to them later)? And I also notice that KDE insists that the left win key is a modifier. How do I change that key into a non modifier key?

Rabotai, Mahapach! (Survey Results of Desktop Managers)
H, not really ;-) Actually, the results have been expected; And like today's election results, the leader stays first, and the other side stays smaller, and the surprise comes from the neutral camp. Since I promised to summarize the results before Mina Zemach and Haim Yavin, I'll do it now, but I want to send a yet another summary in a few days, with analysis of the connection between the preferred desktop manager and the reasons. Each result, comes twice (2 numbers): The first: any answer is counted ONCE. The second: any answer that refers to X computers, is counted X. Although the second number is important, the first is more exact; I don't want to dig too deeply into statistical descriptions, but when there are some people who are responsible (each) for many computers (like 15), the Sampling Error jumps to the sky.

ANN: syscalltrack 0.81 "Cruel Ducky" released
syscalltrack-0.81, the 13th alpha release of the Linux kernel system
call tracker, is now available. syscalltrack supports version 2.4.x of
the Linux kernel on the i386 platform.
This release containes several important bug fixes and new features.
* What is syscalltrack?
syscalltrack is made of a pair of Linux kernel modules and supporting
user space environment which allow interception, logging and possibly
taking action upon system calls that match user defined
criteria. syscalltrack can operate either in "tweezers mode", where
only very specific operations are tracked, such as "only track and log
attempts to delete /etc/passwd", or in strace(1) compatible mode,
where all of the supported system calls are traced. syscalltrack can
do things that are impossible to do with the ptrace mechanism, because
its core operates in kernel space.
* Where can I get it?
Information on syscalltrack is available on the project's homepage:
http://syscalltrack.sourceforge.net, and in the project's file
release.
The source for the latest version can be downloaded directly from:
http://osdn.dl.sourceforge.net/sourceforge/syscalltrack/syscalltrack-0.81.tar.gz
or any of the other sourceforge mirrors.
* Call for developers:
The syscalltrack project is looking for developers, both for kernel
space and user space. If you want to join in on the fun, get in touch
with us on the syscalltrack-hackers mailing list
(http://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/syscalltrack-hackers).
* License and NO Warranty
syscalltrack is Free Software, licensed under the GNU General Public
License (GPL) version 2. The 'sct_ctrl_lib' library is licensed under
the GNU Lesser General Public License (LGPL).
syscalltrack is in _alpha_ stages and comes with NO warranty. We put
it through extensive testing and routinely run it on our systems, but
if it breaks something, you get to keep all of the pieces.
* PGP Signature
All syscalltrack releases from now on will be signed. This release is
signed with my pgp public key, which you can get from
http://www.mulix.org/pubkey.asc or via
'gpg --keyserver wwwkeys.pgp.net --recv-keys 0xBFD537CB'
Happy syscalltracking!
===
New in version 0.81, "Cruel Ducky"
---
* This release includes support for matching against void pointers
(addresses). For example, you can match against msync's first
parameter, const void* start.
* This release re-enables support for tracking the shmat and msgrcv
calls, after fixing a bug in their tracking support.
* sctrace now supports strace's 'follow forks' mode.
* Implement tracking for the last two remaining syscalls, sys_vfork
and sys_bdflush.
* Make the userspace tools behave sensibly when the kernel modules
aren't loaded and complain to run, instead of giving obscure errors.
* Make sct_config complain about AFTER rules with FAIL actions. A FAIL
action is only valid in BEFORE rules.
* Add '-h' and '--help' support to sct_logctrl.
* Assorted other kernel modules bug fixes.
===
New in version 0.80, "Tanned Otter"
---
* This release contains support for multiple readers of the log
device. It is now possible to have two (or more) different log
device readers, e.g. one running in a terminal ('sctlog'), and the
other being a daemon reading directly from the log device and
parsing its output to warn about anomalities. Each log device reader
can set its own log device parameter, such as the log format and the
log buffer size. See sct_logctrl(1) and sctlog(1) for further
details.
* Log output now goes to the log device by default, not to syslog. use
sctlog(1) (or 'cat /dev/sct_log') to see it.
* The user can now configure the 'max record length' of records
printed to the log device file. 'max record length' is useful when
logging the parameters for read() or write(), for example, because
the 'buffer' parameter could be very large and filled with garbage,
thus flooding the log device. This patch allows you to set the max
record length to something sane, so only the first bytes of the
buffer are printed, followed by '...'. Setting it to 0 disables it.
* This release disables support for the 'shmat', 'semctl' and
'msgrecv' system calls (muxed functions of the sys_ipc system call,
to be precise). It will be fixed and included in the next release.
* Make rules printed by 'sct_config download' look nicer.
===
New in version 0.75, "Boffing Hyrax"
---
* This release contains complete autotools support for the entire
syscalltrack system: kernel modules, libraries and
applications. Download, run './confi
