Well, try it? If you already have gnome (or most of it) installed, just add gnome-osd package and set ENABLE_OSD to 'yes'. Logout/login for the gnome-osd bridge to start and trigger some notifications. The gnome-osd is used without any fancy things for notifications that are expected to be repeated often (changiing volume level). When swithing something on/off (audio, camera, wlan, bluetooth), it uses a 'sliding' notification, that may not be that fast. IIRC, aosd uses some "fade-in/-out" effects that don't perform that well. I prefer the gnome-osd thingie as I happen to run GNOME and it performs reasonably well on the 1.6GHz Atom. -- dam JabberID: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
