This point has merit when it is a personal conversation between two people. Although I still bottom reply in those cases (or inline reply as you would say), I can see why top replying is not so bad. However, for mailing lists where there are many readers, a number of whom have not been actively following the thread, bottom posting is annoying. Also I save some message from this group as reference to be read much later if I encounter a similar problem. Then bottom-posting is considerably better. thanks, allan -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list

I was not aware that Top-posting was a bad thing, since you can read the last msg first, Sure, but then you have to spaghetti first down, then up, then maybe down again to read closer, up again... Do you want to make people crazy? :) which is to me better since I don't want to have to re-read/skip the whole history to read the last post. There's no need to skip the whole history when the person whose post you're reading has snipped well: only the relevant stuff is there. I do assume that you prefer Bottom-Posting, from your reply's position. Is Inline-posting acceptable too? Inline-posting is what's needed. Just quoting the whole previous post and then adding your answer at the bottom is no good either: first snip everything that you're not reacting to. Glad that the re-emerging worked, though.

Re: [gentoo-user] can no longer switch to a VT - OT
Hello, sorry for the long wait to reply, I switched to E17 and I have
the same problem
as with Gnome, still can switch to a VT...
Ifr I open a term and try the usual Ctrl + Alt + F1 to F7 key combination
I get :
PQRS;7~;7~;7~
Which I don't ever remember getting in the past. I tried killing
gnome-settings-manager but that doesn't change anything either.
Any ideas?
Thanks,
Gabriel

Are you sure it's due to upgrading Xorg and not Gnome?
See http://article.gmane.org/gmane.linux.gentoo.user/175870
I saw that
the xkb syntax changed, so I updated it accordingly,
but now I can't switch to VT's anymore.
When using almost exactly your arrangement it works fine here.
$ setxkbmap -print
xkb_keymap {
xkb_keycodes { include xfree86+aliases(qwerty) };
xkb_types { include complete };
xkb_compat{ include complete+lednum(group_lock) };
xkb_symbols { include
pc(pc104)+us(basic)+us(intl):2+ch(fr):3+group(ctrls_toggle)+level3
(win_switch)+ctrl(nocaps)+compose(menu)+eurosign(e) };
xkb_geometry { include pc(pc104) };
};
If it's not the failing Gnome daemon, maybe it is Gnome interfering
in some other way with the keyboard? Here I had to switch off all
things in KDE's Control Center Regional Keyboard Layout to make
the settings in xorg.conf work.

[gentoo-user] can no longer switch to a VT - OT
Hello, I recently switched to ~x86 and with it to xorg 7.x. I saw that the xkb syntax changed, so I updated it accordingly, but now I can't switch to VT's anymore. I searched google but all the solutions didn't apply to me, since they hadn't updated their xorg.conf. I use diff. keyboard mappings, us-basic, us-international and swiss-french. I checked the xorg logs and it has no xkb problems. Here are my xorg keyboard settings : Section InputDevice Identifier Keyboard0 Driver kbd Option AutoRepeat500 30 Option XkbLayout us,us,ch Option XkbVariantbasic,intl,fr Option XkbModel pc105 Option XkbOptions grp:lwin_toggle,grp_led:num,eurosign:e EndSection does anyone have an idea as of why this is happening? If use only us-basic it works fine (I haven't tried only swiss-french, but a colleague uses it and has no problems). Thank you, Gabriel Rossetti -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
