KDE and infinite windows

2001-11-18 Thread Michael George
Running RHL 7.2 Enigma with the KDE desktop, I'm finding that some of the KDE apps seem to run in infinite windows. KDE preferences menu and the Kontrol Center are two examples. They extend forever off the right side of the screen. I know this wasn't the case w/ 2.1... Anyone else run into

I like to run xsnow on my screen when it's gettingo to the holiday season. However, I have upgraded to RHL7.2 and KDE 2.2 and when I try to start xsnow on my wife's account, it doesn't do anything. It works fine on my CTWM desktop, though. Anyone else run into this? Thanks! -Michael -- In

LS-120 drive

2001-04-09 Thread Michael George
I have a fairly new machine with an LS-120 in place of a regular floppy disk. Since it connects to the ATAPI interface (/dev/hdb) rather than the floppy interface, it's quite obvious that it isn't a *direct* replacement for a floppy. I have the kernel built so that the drive is recognized, and I
