[gentoo-user] kde volume shortcuts
Hi people, I have an Acer TM 8104wlmi, and everything works great on it, except the smartcard/flashmemory reader. The only thing that is anoying me is the volume control keys. Its suposed to work with fn+up and fn+down to increase or decrease volume, and fn+f8 to toogle mute. When I hit fn+up, KDE shows a max increase of 10% (one hit), just like the top volume os 10%. If I press it again, it doesnt move. And I cant hear any change on volume. If I press fn+down, it decrease the volume to 0%, but again, I cant hear any change on volume. The same happens with mute toggle. KDE shows that its muted/unmuted, but the sound goes on without any change. The kmix tray icon, doesnt show any change on volume or muted status. Can anyone help me with this? Thanks in advance. []'s .m -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list

[gentoo-user] mini pci wireless recomendations
Hi all, I'm needing a mini pci wireless (802.11g) card for my HP/Compaq nx9005 (Athlon 2400+ 512MB RAM). That has a min-PCI slot and a integrated antenna. I know that the prism54 is well supported in Linux, but I couldn't find one mini-PCI with a chipset supported by that driver to buy. So, I found a Intel PRO Wireless 2200 802.11b/g Mini PCI Card in Dell's website: http://accessories.us.dell.com/sna/ProductDetail.aspx?TabPage=techspecssku=430-0913spagenum=category_id=brandid=176k=c=usl=encs=19mnf=prst=prEnd=mnfsku=orderby=searchtype=pageb4search=page=productlisting.aspxinstock=refurbished= (hope the link works) It has a very good price, and uses a chipset that I think is supported by Linux (by iwp2200 module, IIRC). But i think it has something to do with the Centrino processor, is it right? Should it work on my notebook? If not, can anyone recommend where to buy a supported mini-PCI 802.11g card that should work on my notebook? Thanks in advance, Mauro -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
