  1. Logitech keyboard problem

    in Hardware

    Posted · Edited by ffi

    Hi,

    i just got my new MX 3200 keyboard / mouse and i set down and tried to configure the multimedia keys

    after a lot of time (i'm a newb) and by using and defining the lineak software most of the functions i want work great

     

    but still some stuff i can't understand:

    1. there are some keys which i can't see in xev (like "voip answer" or "voip hangup")

    2. some different keys give me the same keycode

    3. how can i activate the show desktop command by shell ?

     

    now i'll try to make the etxra buttons on my mouse work :)

     

    thanks,

    noluck

    it's a bug, there 2 actually, those keys should all be configured automatically w/o the need of lineak, i have solved 1 the other is more obscure:

    in /etc/X11/xorg.conf place 1 # before each line that says relbits and change the driver for the keyboard to evdev (from logicdp or something like that), now for some users it will work correctly and for some users some keys don't work but others will :(

     

    btw if you use kde you also need kmilo installed, it can be found in the package kdeutils-klaptop

     

    please don't forget to bug mandriva here: http://qa.mandriva.com/show_bug.cgi?id=34344

     

    ps: for the mouse buttons to work, something else had to be changed under server lay-out, corepointer had to be replaced with sendcoreevents, iirc but I am not at home so I can't check

    The new ati drivers are realllllyyy slow when aiglx is turned on, how should they be configured correctly for an x600 (mobility) radeon? I believe there have been some big changes in atis driver and Xfdrake doesnt do a good job yet.

     

    Could someone explain the difference between the opensource ati and radeon drivers?

    C'mon, it has been said in the past that KDE 4.0 will be very buggy (pretty much like KDE 3.0, or Gnome 2.0, or XFCE 4.0, or... name it here)...

    Only after version 4.1 things will start running smoothly. Please understand that 4.0 is a HUGE step ahead of 3.5X, and as such many things will not work as expected.

     

    They said 4.0 wouldn't be (new) feature complete yet but I expect all the major old features working. I know no software is bugfree but this is just

    unworkable, I hope they postpone the release past jan 11 because as it is kde4 will hurt kde's reputation.

    I agree that these terms are misused, and I don't expect all RC1s to be released. But I do expect that by the time they say "here is a candidate for release" then at least the major functionality is frozen and only unexpected bug fixes, tweaks, minor changes and so on will be made from here on. That means to me that it should be FAR from "unstable" and very very much time to start criticizing it as though it were very nearly finished.

     

    You can't have it both ways, either it's an RC1, in which case people are entitled to express their opinion that it sucks (and will suck when released), or it's a beta (with a projected start date very probably later than Jan 11th), in which case it's too early to write it off. I don't see where the pressure comes to release it so soon if it's not yet ready, why not just push the release date back? There seem to be enough concerns and issues to warrant that. It would impact 2008.1 and Hungry Hippo and other distro releases, but they didn't have problems releasing both KDE3 and KDE4 with 2008.0 so they can do that again, surely?

    Yup...

     

    Trying RC2 from Gutsy now, things are looking a bit better but are far from what can be considered a release candidate. At least now I managed to get Dolphin to show hidden files but there are still many obvious bugs everywhere, like graphical glitches in the style, no obvious way to configure the panel, incompleteness of oxygen, kwin is dead slow etc... etc... etc.. and these are all obvious after just 5 minutes testing. It looks promising for an alfa or beta but for an RC it's very disappointing...

     

    Konqueror will be there too but it will use the engine of Dolphin for file management. However they promise it won't loose any functionality.

     

    file size view seems to have gone, one of my favourite konqueror functions...

    when you login choose drak3d as your session and disable special effects, follow the instructions, choose your prefered session again and log back in again

    So I have installed KDE 4RC1 on Kubuntu and I really had very high for it but I am sorry to say it just plain sucks. Konqueror I fired it up for the first time and everything was clear to me, I am struggling with Dolphin to just get to some elementary things like show hidden files :wall: Plasmoids I managed to put them on the desktop but still haven found a way to remove them, right clicking the desktop does nothing I expect it to do....what the hell have the kde people done, kde4 is like gnome, no options no nothing, I have used a lot of OS's and desktops but kde4 rc1 has been the most frustrating and limited I have encountered in over 20 years.... :wall:

    I tried to uninstall some unneeded software using urpmi_rpm-find-leaves but now my nvidia driver doesn't work anymore, I tried to reset up the driver but I get the following error from XFdrake

    So what? This is the way apt works. You can STILL install anything you like in that system going one level down, by a simple "dpkg -i foo".

    Like it or not, Debian's package management is by far the most advanced out there- the only regression is that building stray deb packages is very easy, but build of structured deb packages is as complex as with rpm ones...

    yes off course you can but try to use apt again, you won't be able to untill you resolve the "broken" packages......I know it should just be just a matter of disabling a checkin apt but none the less it is very very annoying, but I decide when something is broken not the package manager and I decide if I want to continue not the package manager....
