DragonMage Posted November 25, 2002 Report Share Posted November 25, 2002 Ok, normally I don't plug programs.. but this program is just too cool for words. Check here http://www.pclinuxonline.com/modules.php?n...order=0&thold=0 It's a 3d desktop changer. There is an rpm version of that program in texstar's place. I downloaded, installed it and tried it.. and it's TOO COOL!!!! 8) 8) 8) Now, if only I can put a keybinding in kde3 to activate that program.. Anyone can tell me how?

paul Posted November 25, 2002 Report Share Posted November 25, 2002 ok so it looks pretty cool ... but I'm only getting one desktop I have done --kde and edited /etc/3ddesktop.conf but still nothing mdk 9.0 with 32mb GF2 is there a trick :?: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DragonMage Posted November 25, 2002 Author Report Share Posted November 25, 2002 what? there is no /etc/3ddesktop.conf in my case.. I just install the rpm.. run the program (it even have is located in the kde menu and everything) and voila.. it runs.. (well it crashed the first time, but the second time it runs very well(.

DOlson Posted November 25, 2002 Report Share Posted November 25, 2002 3ddesk --gnome2 works for KDE3... It's in the docs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MottS Posted November 26, 2002 Report Share Posted November 26, 2002 if you type '3ddesktop' it loads the diamons and take a snapshot of all your virtual desktop. So you don't need to manually add them. Then just type '3ddesk' and voila! MOttS Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DOlson Posted November 26, 2002 Report Share Posted November 26, 2002 I have an RPM for it at http://mdkextras.by-a.com/ It doesn't require extra stuff (that I'm aware of) like Texstar's does. You can just rebuild the SRPM yourself if they don't work. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
qeldroma Posted November 26, 2002 Report Share Posted November 26, 2002 I tried it one year ago. But it took too much time, to take the shots, and had a problem, to be actual with the shots. Is it now performant and stable? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DragonMage Posted November 26, 2002 Author Report Share Posted November 26, 2002 Well.. it seems stable enough.. And taking the shots doesn't seem to take too long. Yeah, there is a bit of a problem in updating the shots (I closed a program from another desktop and the preliminary screenshot of that desktop is not updated) but since renewing the screenshots just take 1 second, it's not a problem for me.. Then again.. I only use two virtual desktops, so it may vary if you have more than 4. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ixthusdan Posted December 1, 2002 Report Share Posted December 1, 2002 ouigui program!! But it seg-faults everytime I restart. It always eventually works, but only after crashing the first time. Any suggestions for a fix? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I created a link in ~/.kde/Autostart that executes "3ddeskd --gnome2 --acquire". (even though I use kde) Works great. Just need to find a way to do a keybinding for 3ddesk and I'm all set.
