Re: 2.6.6 bug while booting on PBG4

Hi all, Suggestion of Jens didn't work, once in a while I still get the same problem. Rebooting (usually one time) is enough to work around it but it is not ideal. Any suggestions where to get some logging info in the next succesful boot to send that with this bug to the kernel bugzilla? T

Re: gnome 2.6 -> no more .Xmodmap

So far the best solution I have found is to load my Xmodmap file myself: ~$ xmodmap .Xmodmap The gnome keyboard properties is really scary. I was not expecting this kind of thing from gnome. Another gnome 2.6 disapointment is the fact that when you logout, you can see gnome switching to the defa

gnome 2.6 -> no more .Xmodmap

I upgraded to gnome 2.6 yesterday and it went rather well (except that I was prompted to accept the new config file for each schema file in capplet IIRC). But when login in gnome 2.6, I was inform that my .Xmodmap would be ignored and I had to use the keyboard properties. Here is the content of my
