01. In KDE I can adjust the acceleration of the mouse. But BB doesn't read
this setting. So I have to start the KDE config tool, go to the peripherals
and click 'apply' at the advanced mouse options. Then the acceleration is
turned on in BB as well. Is there any trick to load these mouse options
with BB??
this is an X setting, not a window manager setting. KDE runs a command when
it starts to twiddle the mouse speed. You need to run this command in your
.xinitrc (or .xsession). The blackbox archives have a discuss about this.
02. I dl the bbappconfig and tried to install it. I can run ./configure,
but when I run make all I get is errors. Is there a bug in my mind??
not familiar with this program really, sorry.
03. Transparent Konsole causes problems. Typing anything at the command
line is covered with grey or black. Modifying the 'schema' with the KDE
configuration doesn't help at all. I've done some research, but the only
thing I've discovered was something with 'aterm'. Is there any solution to
make the Konsole window transparent without having to install the aterm
stuff? (this would really cause a buffer overflow in my brain...). The
strange part of it is that the transparency in KDE works fine, even when I
resize the window to max... but I guess that's another gui and thus another
config or code or whatever.
the transparent effect is caused by running a program which sets magic
variables on the X server. This is done by the app which sets your
background image.
04. Screensaver: while in BB, there is an option to change the screensaver.
Usually, my screen just goes blank. But when I select a screen saver like
i.e. the matrix, the screensaver starts immediately - right on top of the
wallpaper, behind all open apps. That's kind of weird. I can't get rid of
it unless I exit (restart doesn't help) and startx again. Anybody with a
solution here? Do I have to include the screensaver into the .xinitrc?
I have no experience with the kde screen savers, not sure how they work. In
general I am strongly against screen savers.
a) they continually use the CPU so it never goes to sleep. Thus your machine
is always using more power than necessary, even at 2 am.
b) you are better off just turning of the monitor (even more power and life
savings) than you are using a program which redraws the screen often.
That is not to say that we won't work to make them work, just expressing my
opinion on the subject.
Please submit a bug on sf.net about the screen saver issue. Please include
what commands you run, how everything was configured, etc.
