Hey - what is the command to have Fedora list back the video card in my laptop? I remember Monty telling me the command once, but it didn't stick in the brain... Michael Haworth<mailto:michael_haworth@pas-technologies.com> PAS Technologies Inc. Direct Line: (816) 556-5157

Transparent KCLUG-Tux
by Billy Crook 05 Jan '09

05 Jan '09

I needed a transparent background png of the KCLUG Tux logo, and I couldn't find one, so I just made one with The GIMP. http://kclug.com/wiki/index.php/Image:Tux-KC.png Use it as you see fit.

I have no idea why it cares, but it does. On a related note, I've got a Nvidia card capable of driving three displays: One SVideo and two over DVI-I ports. Unfortunately the vendor's binary drivers removed the capacity for driving that third display, limiting TwinView to just that - Twin Views. I'll come back with more details later to see if there's a solution, but I'd like to point out that the nvidia-settings app that controls xorg and its config can make on-the-fly changes to which configured screen is activated, among other things (resolution etc). I regularly have to disable my second monitor to enable my TV-out - takes all of 15-20s, and goes away on the next X restart.

Wacom Bamboo Tablet
by Jim Herrmann 01 Jan '09

01 Jan '09

I got my daughter a Wacom Bamboo tablet for Christmas. It works, and we figured out how to get pressure sensitivity working in GIMP, so it's fairly useful. However, the eraser doesn't seem to work, and there are also extra buttons on the Bamboo that don't seem to do anything in linux. The configuration information on the intertubes seems to be obsolete, like 2005ish. X is no longer configured with etc/X11/xorg.conf apparently. This is on Ubuntu 8.10. Does anyone have a Bamboo tablet and have everything working? I'd appreciate any input. Thanks, Jim -- - That One - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rCUOHKznUyI

I concur. I had to do so to get the video on an old Armada 7800 working with X on 8.xx Ubuntu. Jon.

Three Cheers for Rolling Hills Consolidated Library System!!!

I'm sitting here at the Belt branch of the library, on the net, and just happened to see the ubiquitous footprint of Gnome on the browser. I wondered why it didn't behave like IE . . . Wish more public institutions used Linux . . . sorry Billy Gates . . . . Gary HIldebrand St. Joseph, MO

Hi, I'm new to the mailing list. Anyone else use Twitter? I'm looking for some KC area Linux users to follow. Perhaps kclug having its own Twitter account would make it easier to find others? http://twitter.com/jholloway7 Take care

Re: How to remove unused configs from kernel?

Actually, the question is "is there value in such an exercise on modern equipment?" I'm not sure that there isn't, but I'm far from certain that there is. I can see this dramatically cutting down build time (relevant maybe once ever 2-3 weeks), and I can see this having a substantial impact on embedded equipment (only really relevant on the first build), but neither of those things really effects what one does on a day to day basis. Given modern equipment, is there a substantial benefit to jumping through all of these extra hoops to optimize a kernel? On a related note, are there any substantial and significant reasons not to just run stock kernels at this point?
