  1. Hi I am looking for a laptop that will run Linux and have £1000 ($1852) available. I have been doing some research and have found a site called http://www.emperorlinux.com that offers laptops pre-installed with a number of distributions. They offer Dell, IBM (Lenovo), Sony, Panasonic and Sharp machines. They are an American company and being in the UK this isn't particularly useful to me, but the list of laptops they offer is. This means I could buy one of the models from a UK source and install one of the distros they would install such as Mandriva 2006. For example they offer a Dell D820 or Latitude X1 which I could buy for £1099 and an IBM (Lenovo) Thinkpad T43 for £1097 (PC Magazine Editors' Choice). I haven't bought anything yet but the information is very useful. Regards, tgk
  2. I have found the answer on Google: The KDElibs-docs have disappeared during a version change of KDE and/or KDevelop. Nevermind, I shall find the relevent material elsewhere I imagine this is because I am (still) using mdk9.1 whereas others will have the latest versions of software.
  3. I'm setting up KDevelop on Mandrake 9.1, and have found the qt3 docs in /usr/share/doc/qt-3.1.1/doc/html/, but I can't find the KDE library docs. I have seen a suggestion on Google that they may be in /usr/share/docs/kdelibs-devel but I have kdelibs-devel installed and the folder does not exist. If anyone has KDevelop setup correctly, please tell me where the docs are and in what RPM they are to be found. Cheers.
  4. Apparently SDL takes complete control of the mouse fullscreen, so that using 'xset m' would make no difference. I imagine that the developers of each individual game are programming-in a suitable mouse speed. iphitus: most games then would have their own sensitivity settings. Therefore I am quite puzzled as to why most (SDL) games don't allow you to adjust the sensitivity through a cfg file or ingame slider.
  5. I'm using mdk9.1 and when I run a game fullscreen the mouse is rather slow i.e. it could do with some adjustment to speed it up. This happens with Homeworld, Wesnoth and OpenTTD. It probably happens with others but I haven't done an exhaustive test. I have tried using 'xset m 10/1 4' which makes the mouse under KDE go super-sensitive, but when playing OpenTTD fullscreen it doesn't make any difference whatsoever, which leads me to the conclusion that the mouse speed is fixed and unchangeable in fulllscreen mode. Any ideas would be welcome. mdk9.1 uses XFree86 4.3.x i believe, and I am using KDE with NVidia drivers. [moved from Software by spinynorman]
