ACPI, buttons, and why my laptop stopped to shut off the screen of the laptop when the lid is closed...

2005-09-04 Thread Orr Dunkelman
Hi everybody, Few months ago, when I installed FC3, I found out I could save power by turning off the screen when the lid was closed. Surprisingly enough it was done by inquiring /proc/acpi/button/ and running eventually xset dpms force off. I've upgraded to a new kernel

I just rebooted my kernel... seems that I used an old kernel version. My bad. Same problem here. AFAIK you're not alone. Someone broke the lid detection in 2.6.12. Gilboa On Sun, 2005-09-04 at 14:30 +0300, Orr Dunkelman wrote: I guess so. The question is what to do when it doesn't

Quest for *nix C/C++ IDE

Hello We're looking for recomendations on *nix IDE. Following virtues are seeked: 1. Multiplatform. We will develop on Linux and SunOS. Maybe AIX and HP in the future. 2. Truly integrated. That is, good editor, source browser and visual debugger in one bottle. Never mind that it will use

Michael Your IDE options on Linux are a bit limited. Most real programmers seem to stick with Emacs. My personal experience with Eclipse is that the IDE is non-standard, very java and web oriented, slow and prone to crashing. Having said that, they seem to be making an effort to be

Quoth [EMAIL PROTECTED]: What about Eclipse? I think it was designed to satisfy many needs such as yours. (Though it probably fails on the light item.) Eclipse is great. It is big, fat, slow, crashes often, does not like anything the developers did not like in the first place and is also a

Take a look at CRiSP - http://www.vital.com/ The only item in your list below that it does not answer is 3. I don't now of any IDE that does. Surely that is a debugging function? Michael Sternberg wrote: Hello We're looking for recomendations on *nix IDE. Following virtues are seeked: 1.

Real developers (like me) use gvim and Makefiles like God intended us to work. lesser beings... use slickedit or kdevelop. slickedit cost money but rumers says its worth it. personally i use vi and terminal and debug with dbx natively :-) but i guess this is not what sane people would use.

Hi all, I've picked up enjoying old Apple ][ games lately on an emulator. I'm using apple2 for Linux (console only, unfortunately, as xapple2 requires an 8 bit display). I'm having a bit of a problem, however, with sending it a reset event. The docs say that ctrl+break should send it a reset,

Guy, Michael IMHO - Visual C/C++ (the Visual studio 2005 Express version has a free free download, and is 49$ for the production rls) is head and shoulders ahead above Eclipse, cross-development for Linux is just a question of makefiles, and it DOES work quite well - we went this route a
