there probably is a page or two about it on the tutorials link at the top of the page

i'm not sure. if they're opened in kde, maybe they'll be affected. but otherwise i'm pretty sure you have to set GDK_USE_XFT

actually enabling aa in kde is as simple as checking a box in control center -> look & feel -> fonts

make sure that when you try to run a program that's not in your path, you put a ./ in front of it.

if you like mozilla but think it's too slow you could try phoenix. its based on mozilla, but smaller and faster. many people like galeon as well, but i've never used it

themes for older versions of kde will work also.

you can check out kde-look.org too

yes. that should be ok. i do it quite frequently, and have never had a problem

i figured out how to get the graphical boot screen back. all i did was make /boot/initrd.img point to the default .img file and not the one for my custom kernel. i think that as long as its the same kernel version there shouldn't be a problem

sorry bout that, misread what you wrote

type su and then enter in the root password. then you'll be able to delete the file

ok, so i recompiled my kernel keeping all the same acpi options from before, but this time i completely disabled apm. now my computer shuts down automatically, and everything else seems to be working fine. however, there is one minor problem with my new kernel. i've lost my graphical boot. lilo is fine, that's still graphical. its the screen after that, where you see messages of services, etc loading. that screen no longer has that nice graphical background. does anyone know how to get this back?

oh yeah, one more thing. how do i remove the non-working kernel from my system? it never occurred to me to overwrite it, so i named the latest kernel something else. besides removing the entry in lilo.conf and deleting the relevant files from /boot, what else do i need to do?

What acpi options did you say Y to?

i enabled acpi bus manager, system, processor, and button. the only apm option i selected was rtc stores time in gmt. if i have to enable any other kernel options (besides something in apm or acpi) what should i look out for?

also, my system shut down with no problem in windows 2000 and mdk 8.2

anyways, i'll read up on it somemore and compile again and see what happens

i compiled the kernel doing:

say Y to enable apm (only because gkrellm says it can't find apm and it's anoying)

say N to all apm options

say Y to enable acpi

say Y to acpi options I wanted

but my computer still doesn't power off automatically. on top of that i don't have a graphical boot anymore. i didn't change any kernel options except those regarding apm and acpi, what am i doing wrong?

i was having the same problems as urbanotter, how do i do this:

say Y to enable apm (only because gkrellm says it can't find apm and it's anoying)

say N to all apm options

say Y to enable acpi

say Y to acpi options I wanted

you have to click on the menu style button in the toolbar of menudrake. then uncheck the "add link to what to do menu." i think you hvae to do this as root, but i'm not sure.

edit "/usr/kdesktop". In there is a part, thats responsible for this feature. Just # it out.

i don't have a /usr/kdesktop. where else might this be?
