[ILUG-BOM]New E!
by Tahir Hashmi 13 Nov '03

13 Nov '03

Hi all! I wonder whether you guys know of it. A new stable version of E16 - 0.16.6 - was released last wednesday. This is the first E16 release in over three years! I tried it out today for a little nostalgia trip and it was an 'enlightening' experience indeed :) I had almost decided to stick with it but for a few issues: * Setting E to be the default WM caused gnome-panel to behave badly, though if I switched to E by killing Metacity, there were no problems. * Keybindings didn't work as usual. I tried e16keyedit but no avail. * On a celeron 770 Megger w/ 128 MB and i180 graphics, speed is an issue, though going a little easy on the eye-candy options led to some crisp performance. I'm still gonna use it at home, anyway! Some of you might be wondering what the heck E16 is. Well, it is the 0.16.x series of Enlightenment Window Manager that used to be the default WM in RedHat Linux 6.x :) It was, and still is, the coolest piece of eye-candy you can get. -- Tahir Hashmi code_martial AT softhome.net http://www.codemartial.org I have seen The Source

Re: [ILUG-BOM]antialiased fonts in plain-vanilla XFree86

Gnome 2.2 does supprort xft ... thats what I had been using on my old desktop. In fact the version of Gtk that I have right now also seems to support it, so that the sawfish decorations, dialog-boxes etc look very nice. Even some small gtk-based tools like grun use those features. Seems like specific apps need to be compiled with the correct support. Wonder if recompiling Ayttm would help! The xft version of MozillaFirebird is too sluggish to be useful! Also found a package called libgdkxft0 in Debian, but that is meant for Gtk 1.2 :( Sameer. -- Research Scholar, KReSIT, IIT Bombay http://www.it.iitb.ac.in/~sameerds/

[ILUG-BOM]Microtek 845GL M|/B
by T Roy 13 Nov '03

13 Nov '03

hi, i have a LG studioworks 700E monitor and Intel845GL Chipset motherboard from Microtek. I am facing a lot of problems in display( X and text mode ) and sound. The problem is that in X when i increase the resolution to 1280*1024 the monitor tells me out of frequency and shuts off. In TEXT MODE if I change the font( /etc/sysconfig/i18n ) a page full of display dosesnt scroll of the screen. Like if i do a $ls on a huge directory i get the first page of display and the prompt disappears down the screen...i then have to do a $clear to get back the prompt. In X terminal gives absurd display. With characters placed anywhere on the screen. My sound card ( built-in ) AC 97 doesnt get detected and ARTS says sound device error...using NUll device for /dev/dsp. Could soem one tell me where to get the dirvers for this Motherboard( its not there on www.microtekdirect.com ) . Also how to install these drivers on linux. I have the drivers for WINDOWS( from the Motheroard CD ) so everything works fine there. __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!? Protect your identity with Yahoo!

[ILUG-BOM]antialiased fonts in plain-vanilla XFree86
by Sameer D. Sahasrabuddhe 12 Nov '03

12 Nov '03

Hi, I just shifted to a new HDD, and this time, installed only Sawfish as my desktop. Now the problem is that apps like MozillaFirebird and Ayttm that used to show pretty smooth (probably not antialiased) fonts appear very jagged on my new desktop. I am sure that the same fonts are installed on both, the old and new desktop, and the "freetype" module is enabled in X. I've never run xfstt or any of its cousins, since modules work well with X. I do get proper antialiased fonts with the xft version of MozillaFirebird, but that won't work with Ayttm. What is it that I am missing between the earlier setup and the new setup? One reason might be that in the earlier setup with GNOME, the gdk script had GDK_USE_XFT=1 set in it ... where do I do this now? I am not running GNOME, but both MozillaFirebird and Ayttm are most probably using GDK underneath ... Sameer. -- Research Scholar, KReSIT, IIT Bombay http://www.it.iitb.ac.in/~sameerds/

[ILUG-BOM]Halt option at start
by Nikhil Joshi 12 Nov '03

12 Nov '03

Hi! I was pondering over this for long. Is it possible to give a halt/reboot option at console when the system is started at runlevel 3 ? This is given by default if you login at runlevel 5. One method seems to be : 1. Make a user named halt ( there already seems to be in /etc/passwd ) 2. Disable its password 3. edit its .bashrc so that halt command is issued immediately on login 4. similar steps for reboot Can someone suggest some other more secure/logical solution to this ? Is the halt/reboot functionality in runlevel 5 achieved with same method as discussed above ? -- Nikhil Joshi http://nikhil.ne1.net
