Re: pismo mouse questions and tangent

Thanks. But I didn't notice before that both option keys give the same keycode (56), and that fn+return gives the same keycode as the enter key by the spacebar (96). Is there a way to distinguish between the two option keys, and between enter and fn+return? >> 1) How does one redifine keys (

pismo mouse questions and tangent

I know I've seen at least one of these questions asked on here before, but I couldn't find them in the archives, so pardon me. 1) How does one redifine keys (in X) to be mouse buttons? I know I need to use showkey to get the keycode for each key, but I don't know where to tell X that those key

Pismo LCD

I'm installing debian on a 400-Mhz Pismo, and I'm at the point at which it asks for the monitor's best video mode. Since I remember hearing a few years ago that laptop LCDs can get damaged if the wrong settings are used, I thought I'd ask here before picking one thing or another. Which settin

click-doubling

I've been having a strange problem since I installed debian (woody) on my G4 a few weeks ago. Now and then (several times a day), I'll single-click on something, and it's as if I've double-clicked. It happens in all programs. Here's a small sampling of all the things that happen because of t

When I forget to log out, and leave my computer alone for a few hours, my session has often been ended by the time I return. Is this a feature or a bug? I find the following two messages both in syslog and daemon.log: Apr 12 15:35:15 beastie kdm[232]: Server for display :0 terminated unexpec

Pardon the frivolous question, but does anyone remember the "Bat" screensaver that (I think) used to come with KDE? I saw it three or four years ago, when I very briefly had MkLinux installed, and I've never seen it since. Is it still available anywhere? Thomas -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email

Re: two sound questions

If you change 'auto_spawn=0' to 'auto_spawn=1' in /etc/esound/esd.conf, esd *should* be automagically started whenever an application wants to use it, without modification of your session startup files. (I haven't tested it, so I don't know if it works.) This worked. Thanks! If you set LD_P

to use it automagically appeared in the menu in the login window, and I have no idea how it's actually run. Is ~/.xsession maybe just for startx run from a console, and there's a different way you're supposed to start things if you're using a graphical login? Theo Gutmann

Hmmm... ok, did that. But I just discovered that that wasn't what was causing that alert. esound, though installed, was not running. *slaps self on forehead* How can I have it run at startup? Anyway, I've started esd manually, and xmms can now play using esound. But the original problem is

Two questions: a) Now that I have working sound (thanks!), I've noticed that when something's playing in xmms, other sounds (like terminal beeps, and message sounds in gaim) don't come through. If xmms isn't playing, they come through fine. Is there a way to fix this? b) Also (and I mentio

I noticed that what was causing the irritating whine coming from my G4's speaker was the CD. I can mute the CD in kmix, but after a reboot, it's turned back on. How does one change the system-wide defaults so that CD always starts out muted at boot? -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTE
