Greetings! I just got here, having installed what we used to call E on two machines in the last 12 hours. One is running Debian Trixie and the other Ubuntu 22.04 (because it won't boot from USB, so that's what I'm stuck with). As I said to friends today, in early 1998 many of us thought that KDE would do until Gnome was ready; then Gnome would do until Rasterman had Enlightenment done. I've been on KDE or its KDE-3.5 fork Trinity Desktop for the last 20+ years and thought it was time to check out Enlightenment. I am stunned at how elegant it is -- no surprise -- and at how well it works -- unknown until now. So, many thanks to Raster and everyone else. Good job!
As I mentioned, alas I have an issue. I don't think it is a difficult issue, but it is beyond my ken 12 hours into Enlightenment: the machine running Debian is a 2017 GBD Pocket. The screen wants to be 1920x1200 vertical. Due to some wizardry way back when, it goes happily into horizontal orientation when X11 is started. It did the first time I started Enlightenment, too. But the second time, and since, it has gone all vertical on me. The fellow who made the applet that allows one to switch between modes remarked that it can be fixed in Enlightenment screen configuration. Between tiny screen elements and the fact that the machine's TrackPoint hasn't heard that the orientation has changed, finding where and how to do it has become a video game in which I'm stuck on Level 1. So if someone could tell me what I'm looking for and where to find it, I would much appreciate it. Thanks very much. I look forward to becoming further Enlightened -- bet you never heard that one before -- and will endeavor not to be a bother. dep Pictures: http://www.ipernity.com/doc/depscribe/album Column: https://ofb.biz/author/dep/ _______________________________________________ enlightenment-users mailing list enlightenment-users@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/enlightenment-users
