[gentoo-user] adjustment console/X
The two boxes I use have LCD monitors, of different brands. When in X, the real estate area is optimized. When I switch to a VC, the idea the system has about the physical dimensions of the screen changes, and a part of the displayed stuff is cropped. I can adjust it by pressing the Auto button in the monitor controls, but then I get a black vertical strip on the left after switching back to X, and I have to press Auto again, etc. The boxes have different graphical cards, one with the ATI kernel driver and the other with the nvidia driver. The console driver is VESA-TNG in both cases, but with VESA the problem is the same. Is there some workaround? Some way the coax the system into using the correct physical dimensions in X and VC? -- Jorge Almeida -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list

Can you elaborate? Anyway, I think they are already the same: I have video=vesafb:ywrap,mtrr,[EMAIL PROTECTED] in the appropriate line in grub.conf, and Modes 1280x1024 in xorg.conf. The update frequency is set to 60Hz (recommended for this monitor) in the Control panel of KDE. 1280x1024 is the native resolution of the monitor. Thanks, Jorge Almeida

Coda's very unreliable nevertheless, so I'm probably going to write some management daemon which handles venus startup, logins, (dis-)connects, etc. Or maybe I'm going to write my own distributed fs which has full unix semantics (via FUSE) ...

[gentoo-user] Seamonkey and maps
Hi, I have noticed something funny lately. I can't get google maps or yahoo maps to work. It loads the page up but there is no map. I also noticed that on a couple other sites some java stuff is not working. Instant messenger being one of them. Also my space is acting weird too. Anybody happen to know what all these may have in common? I did upgrade Seamonkey a while back but it seemed to work for a while. I have the following java packages installed: [EMAIL PROTECTED] / # equery list java [ Searching for package 'java' in all categories among: ] * installed packages [I--] [ ] dev-java/java-config-1.3.7 (0) [I--] [ ] dev-java/java-config-2.0.31 (2) [I--] [ ] dev-java/java-config-wrapper-0.12-r1 (0) [I--] [ ] dev-java/java-sdk-docs-1.4.2 (1.4.2) [I--] [ ] dev-java/java-sdk-docs-1.5.0-r1 (1.5.0) [I--] [ ] dev-java/javatoolkit-0.2.0-r1 (0) [EMAIL PROTECTED] / # [EMAIL PROTECTED] / # equery list blackdown [ Searching for package 'blackdown' in all categories among: ] * installed packages [I--] [ -] dev-java/blackdown-jdk-1.4.2.03-r12 (1.4.2) [EMAIL PROTECTED] / # I'm hoping someone will have a few ideas.
