Laptop Fujitsu S7020 external display quivers

2006-06-17 Thread David Harel

Greetings,

My machine has Intel 915GM/GMS/910GML Express Graphics Controller (rev 03).
I installed xf86-video-i810-1.6.0 driver and I followed the
recommendations at:
http://gentoo-wiki.com/HARDWARE_Gentoo_on_Fujitsu-Siemens_S7020#X_Configuration

When I switch to external monitor only display is fine but when I have
both lcd screen and external screen active the external display quivers.
I tried on different resolutions and different screens and lcd
projectors. All the same.

Any idea?

the LCD's refresh is usually set at 60Hz, and your card is possible a
cheap-o that can't handle two screens at different refresh rates. other
than forcing a higher refresh like 75Hz and see if the LCD handles it,
I'm afraid you may have to accept the situation as is.

 I am sorry, I use FC4 on x86_64 on my home machine, and flash is one
 thing that is repelled because there is no x86_86 player for
 Linux... ;-)


Installing a 32-bit version of flash player (and w32codecs, for the good 
company) on x86_64 FC machine is two hours of pure dependency hell, but 
nonetheless a feasible task. I've done that about 4 months ago, and I doubt 
something changed drastically since then.

The following is NOT an efficient or recommended solution, but since you seem 
to be looking for a 1-time solution for clueless recipients, you could try 
this:

1 - create your Hebrew message using whatever you usually use
2 - run Ksnapshot (my Mandriva box is set up to run it in responce to PrtSc, 
but your system may differ)
3 - save the screenshot as .jpg 
4 - edit as needed to cut to a reasonable size (if you use the region option 
in Ksnapshot, this step will not be needed)
5 - include the .jpg file in an empty e-mail message - even a cluless Windows 
user should see the picture

BTW - just as an experiment, I created a snapshot of the above instructions 
and the jpg file was about 30 Kb at default settings. That shouldn't be a 
problem, but you can, of course, cut that with any of a number of editors 
(GIMP is probably overkill here).

 Thanks, Tzafrir
 Let me answer the question from your other message, before I
 forget: I was able to see the Hebrew sentence, both on linux and
 in ms-windows. Clicking on the encoding in outlook I saw that you 
 used UTF-8.
 I started reading about unicode, but I was not yet able to input
 utf-8 Hebrew in either vim or yudit. I think that the point I
 missed was installing an appropiate font. I would be grateful for
 some pointers, I might have overlooked some more points.
 
 My attempts with ISO-8859-8 were prompted by the fact that I
 looked at a couple of messages on my wife's computer and they
 were all encoded in windows-Hebrew, which is not utf-8.
 
 Could you send such a Hebrew message? you mean pdf? For such 
 simple messages as intended the simplest way I know is to write it 
 with  vim, transform it into a ps-file with enscript and then
 ps2pdf it.
 
 My (default) locale setting is POSIX. 

That's the problem. You need to use a different locale.

For starters, 'dpkg-reconfigure locales' . add he_IL.UTF-8 to the list ,
and make it the default.

Adding it to the list adds it to /etc/locale.gen . Making it the
default sets LANG to it in /etc/environment. Or set LANG/LC_CTYPE in 
any other way.

 But I understand that there
 is no problem to start the editor with the stance:
 LC_ALL=he_IL.utf8 vi filename
 That is, at least what I did when I tried to use vim (by the way
 I have installed vim-full) /yudit.

Not sure about yudit, but I guess that vim is simply run in a terminal
without a unicode font.

Hi Shlomo,
Thanks for the answer. Yesterday I manged to print my Hebrew 
messages in utf8, using vi in mlterm, attached it and sent it 
to my wife's windows machine, where I read it both from the 
provider, with internet explorer and on the machine, with outlook.
I have still to understand what I did wrong on Thursday and to
change the settings of mutt in order to do it conveniently.
After that, I'll write Tzafrir as well.
Cheers, Avraham
