[SLUG] Old old old equipment information
Now what I'm looking for exactly is a ref manual on a Trident TD9440PCI/SMT/V4 video card. What I'm asking is for a good reference URL. I'm sick to dearth of scrolling through 144,000 google replies that want to sell me something. Any good ideas folks? -- regards Bruce -- SLUG - Sydney Linux User's Group Mailing List - http://slug.org.au/ Subscription info and FAQs: http://slug.org.au/faq/mailinglists.html

I didn't change the evo setting as it was already correct and Gnome
calendar wasn't. Anyway, I followed Nigel's suggestions and got it to
work; wrote up a little howto here http://tinyurl.com/26ofj9

[SLUG] Re: Games / Interactive learnign for kids/babies 6m -18m
Hi Alex, ANYTHING that happens MAY be of interest. :) In this age group they have insufficient fine motor coordination to do more than operate reasonably large objects. Keybashing is the limit really. 6-18 months is too young to associate such disparate events as audio/visual images eventuating from actions on an unconnected object (computer peripheral - keyboard/mouse) . In other words, an infants capacity to associate such things is very weak. The relationship has to be more visceral and immediate (breastfeeding is an example). Simple shapes in holes etc really only comes after about 12 -18 months (closer to the latter). Something that is flashy and noisy would attract their attention but you may be stretching it for a child in this age range to be interested for long. Learning would be limited to the development of associations between more obvious physical objects - pushing buttons to make noise/music, pressing keys on a piano. All the same, check out Gcompris - found in your friendly local repo. Regards, Patrick Alex Samad <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Thu, 7 Feb 2008 09:28:17 +1100 Hi I was wondering if any one has any recommendation for some interactive kids programmes for learning/playing that i can get for linux. I currently have a spare keyboard that the little bashes on, but I would like to have something happen on the screen as well and hopefully maybe learn some things as well?

I've right clicked on stuff, looked in System, Preferences; didn't find
anything. I've also dredged thru gconf-editor - only close setting
('week_start_day') applies to Evolution.
Did you try changing it anyway? :)
The calendar in the clock applet drop-down draws its info through the
evolution-data-server, and I'm pretty sure it respects that evo gconf
key too. Mine is set to '1', and my calendar starts on a Monday.
