Apparently the Trust KB-2800 has been discontinued and replaced with the KB-2900 Wireless Media Centre Keyboard. Does anyone know if the KB-2900 will work on Linux?

I've already looked at the Microsoft Media Center Keyboard, but it works via Infrared and Linux support is experimental - http://mod-mce.sourceforge.net/ This one looks nice: Ione Scorpius P20 2.4GHz Wireless USB Keyboard with Built-in Thumb Stick http://www.ione.com.tw/2005/products/media/htm/sc-p20.htm

Thanks guys! I'm actually looking for a compact RF keyboard with integrated mouse to use with my Linux media center. Any suggestions would be appreciated.

Does anyone know if the Trust Wireless Media Center Keyboard (KB-2950) can work on Linux? I'm not too concerned about the advanced functions, but if the basic stuff can work on Linux, I would like to order one for my freevo media center.

Perfect - thank you very much!

True, but, I was hoping for a slightly more sophisticated solution. Like with Windows Movie Maker, where one can add background music, display EXIF comments on screen, etc.

Is there a good Linux program that can create DVD Photo Slideshows that can be played back on a TV?

Any other suggestions?

Thanks for the reply. See answers below: # urpmq pmount pmount And yes, it looks as if HAL is running: # ps -ef | grep hald 73 2385 1 0 Jan26 ? 00:00:00 hald root 2392 2385 0 Jan26 ? 00:00:00 hald-runner 73 2454 2392 0 Jan26 ? 00:00:00 /usr/lib64/hald-addon-acpi root 2461 2392 0 Jan26 ? 00:00:00 /usr/lib64/hald-addon-storage

I have an x86_64 and i686 system running mdk2007. My memory stick works 100%on the i686 system, but not on the x86_64 system. Looks like the memory stick is detected, but not automatically mounted. However, I can manually mount it without problems: # mkdir /tmp/x # mount /dev/sdb1 /tmp/x Any suggestions on how to get the system to automount it on x86_64?

Great - thanks for the info. See bug logged @ http://qa.mandriva.com/show_bug.cgi?id=27762

I've just installed an old copy of Fedora Core 4 and get perfect sound (snd-hda-intel and ALSA 1.0.11rc2). So, this must be a problem with Mandriva's ALSA packages/ drivers. Where is the best place to report problems like this? Would it even be possible to log a bug with Mandriva?

Hi, I'm unable to get sound from my newly acquired Asus m2npv-vm mobo with Mandrake 2007. I know the hardware is working, as I can play music with GeeXBox. I would appreciate some guidance.
