[gentoo-user] How to use X configure or driver from Ubuntu
Dear all, I use a Compaq 7550 monitor. It's a CRT. Currently, I can not adjust the refresh rate under Gentoo, but it was adjustable when it was running Ubuntu. I think I may need to copy the X configure file or some sort of CRT driver file from Ubuntu. What do you think? Any suggestion please?

[gentoo-user] Modify keymap
Hi list, I'm using a en_US keyboard. When I use setxkbmap -layout no -variant dvorak to set the keyboard layout to Norwegian Dvorak, I can't use the letter ø because this key doesn't exist on an en_US keyboard. To solve this problem, I want to modify the layout file, to set the Windows key to ø. Does anyone know which file shall I touch? Best regards, Wen -- Xianwen Chen Sent from Tromso, 19, Norway

To solve this problem, I want to modify the layout file, to set the Windows key to ø. Does anyone know which file shall I touch? You might be able to use x11-apps/xmodmap. Grab x11-apps/xev to find out the keycode, which is usually 115 for the windows key: Run xev and press the key, then watch for output like: state 0x0, keycode 115, ... Then get the keysym for ø by doing: $cat /usr/include/X11/keysymdef.h |grep -i oslash #define XK_Oslash 0x00d8 /* U+00D8 LATIN CAPITAL LETTER O WITH STROKE */ #define XK_oslash 0x00f8 /* U+00F8 LATIN SMALL LETTER O WITH STROKE */ Then create ~/.Xmodmap, here's the relevant part of my file: $cat ~/.Xmodmap |grep 115 keycode 115 = 0x00f8 Then, the command: $xmodmap ~/.Xmodmap is required to make the changes, so just add it to your .xinitrc or the startup file for whatever desktop environment you're running. This works fine for me in anything that supports unicode, although strangely it doesn't work in xterm. Note that I'm not using dvorak, but I don't see that making a difference. Good luck :). øøø!

[gentoo-user] About gnash and swfdec
Hi guys and girls, Have you tried gnash or swfdec as alternatives to adobe flash player? I tried both of them. The high consumption of cpu resource and the lack of support to SWF version 8-10 are the main disadvantages in my opinion. And it seems that swfdec hasn't published a new version for more than a year. Perhaps gnash is our only hope currently?

But, in general, I would suggest Pidgin, as via a plugin, it can be used in combination with OTR (Off-The-Record) which uses public-key encryption between clients, and ontop of that, there's even a plugin for pidgin which uses RSA instead, which I've found to be buggy, but is certainly a bit stronger in the cryptographic sense. Thanks very much for the information. I'm emerged pidgin-otr, and it works well! I didn't go for the RSA plugin, since it was buggy, and OTR is enough for me.

Hi Mike, On 8/17/09, Mike Kazantsev mk.frag...@gmail.com wrote: I'm using gajim with TLS-enabled (transport-level encryption) connection to the servers and built-in GPG plugin to encrypt messages, containing some auth info, which I occasionally have to pass. I believe pidgin also had support for such feature via one of the standard plugins. Thanks for the information. I've checked the wikipedia page of gajim. It's very interesting, however, I'm not a jabber user. But I'll check it again if any friend of mine is using jabber, since the GPG plugin is very attractive to me. Best regards, Wen TLS is widely-deployed on XMPP (jabber) servers, but encryption ends at the server in question, so it can intercept / mangle the messages, so it might be good idea to prefer large and reliable servers to possibly-compromised or malicious small ones. Furthermore, in case of XMPP, your (source) server is free to pass the message in unencrypted form to destination server, so message can be caught by any IP-sniffers on the route. Then there's also remote client connection, which can be unencrypted (no TLS/SSL) and likewise intercepted on TCP/IP level. GPG encryption requires clients on both sides to support it, but has benefit that all cryptographic operations are happening on client machines, so server (or any intermediate host) is unable to spoof conversation, provided the encryption (GPG) keys aren't compromised. -- Mike Kazantsev // fraggod.net -- Xianwen Chen Mobile: +86 13774 228909 Email: cxi...@post.uit.no; xianwen.c...@gmail.com

This is THE method when communicating over a totally open channel like the internet. The message is encrypted on your computer and decrypted on the receivers computer. A drawback is that you have to handshake with each of the receivers first.
