I also rebuilt enlightenment and terminology. Things seem relatively OK, except for a couple issues. One I reported already, and is to do with the IME of mozc - Though I do not know if that is caused by E or not. The other one, has happened to me now twice in two days; I leave my computer running, but switch the three monitors off. One monitor is a 4K screen, the other two are 1080p When I switch my screens back on, the 4K monitor is no longer part of my screen. The only way I've been able to solve it is to log out of E, restart X and then change the primary display to the 4K monitor and finally restart E to get my desktops back the correct way. Is this something that makes sense to anyone? Got any suggestions? I use three monitors. I do it with the two DVI interfaces on the card, plus I use an 'active' DisplayPort to DVI dongle on the card's DP. It's a Radeon 7850 incidentally. I use an xrandr script to setup the monitors in the lxdm configuration for lxdm, and again from /etc/X11/Xsession.d/. The DP monitor is primary, and is the center screen. Fairly recently - I'd say a month or so ago - usually my monitor on the dongle, but not always - will not come back on after physically shutting them down. And, it's inconsistent on how/when it happens. It has happened overnight when the monitor is still on too. For me, if I disconnect the USB power interface to the active dongle, wait a minute, then plug it back in, it'll 'jiggle the handle' and come back on about 80% of the time. If that fails, and always for the other monitors when they do it, I need to reboot to fix it (restarting a bunch of shit would probably do it to). I tried blanking, but that didn't help. I now simply turn off blanking, and never shut off the monitors. Yeah it wastes juice, but it's better than waking up in the morning, and not being able to access my desktop (I never shut my box off). I use lightdm as a starting login screen, and if I leave it there without logging in for a while, the DP always goes down. So, I don't think this (mine anyway) issue is happening in enlightenment actually, but something much lower down. There's a lot of hoops being jumped through between the physical card and e... Maybe our issues are related somehow? I'm running Debian jessie@sid, but on the packaged e17.6. -- Regards, Christopher Barry Random geeky fortune: The trouble with telling a good story is that it invariably reminds the other fellow of a dull one. -- Sid Caesar -- ___ enlightenment-users mailing list enlightenment-users@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/enlightenment-users

[e-users] Battery Monitor Gadget
Yesterday, I decided it would be a better idea to have my laptop suspend when it reached 10% battery power; rather than have it shutoff without too much warning. Once the battery reached 10% it suspended, but then I couldn't figure how to wake it up again, even after plugging in the charger or closing and opening the lid. Usually when I manually suspend, I just open the lid and I'm greeted with E's lock screen. So, how do I wake up my laptop when I have E suspend it once the battery reaches a certain percentage?

[e-users] Fwd: nvidia Optimus and xrandr
I have just received a new laptop and I am running into problems with e17, e18 and e19. The laptop has the GeForce GTX 860M, which means I have to deal with Optimus. If I try to work w/ bumblebee, I get a warning when I start e saying my card doesn't support OpenGL. This makes sense, I think, because you have to run each application via optimus to use the Nvidia chip. The wm itself is running on the intel chip. If I do the more recent xrandr configurations, I get a mostly blank screen. Mostly. Because I can see the pointer, and if I click it changes color. But nothing else is shown on the screen. I can try to provide more information if required, but I am mostly curious to know if anybody else has gotten e18 or e19 to work using the second method. It is a big laptop with a lot of disk and the battery life will be close to 0 regardless of what tricks I pull with the graphics. Failing that, does anybody know the proper invocations/methods/whatever to start e18 or e19 such that the nvidia chip is always being used via bumblebee? Thanks, Mik PS - Gmail is giving me fits.

I have not setup this configuration yet on my laptop, but I have seen a presentation from Nouveau's developer on how to do it. My understanding so far is that you want to use your Intel chipset for Enlightenment and NVidia chipset for the demanding application. I don't know which setup you are following, nor which distribution, but Arch Linux as a pretty good article describing the setup process : https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/bumblebee . I think by default the configuration should push everything to Intel GPU, so I am wondering what is going with your setup and why it is not working that way. Maybe you will have to modify the enlightenment.desktop. -- Cedric BAIL -- ___ enlightenment-users mailing list enlightenment-users@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/enlightenment-users
