Michael McIntyre I've been up against this too and it's a horrible handicap but I have also found that MY small netbook (an asus eeepc) is also miserably short on CPU as well as RAM so that using Audacity and Rosegrarden together for example is totally impossible. No such problem on my HD g73 with i7 and 8gb. RESOLUTION is where it's at and I'll come back to this in a reply to the scrolling issue. This may not be good news but MY solution is a full-hd machine (regardless of size in-inches). There are several 12 models available now, I'm waiting for the prices to come down.

Re: [Rosegarden-user] Disabling auto-scroll
I am trying to use Rosegarden under Linux on a small netbook-type computer. The window title bar, menu bar, tool bar, tempo and chord rulers, lower status/zoom area, and my windowing system's dock all consume vertical space, leaving only about a third of the screen's vertical dimension for the matrix area of the matrix editor. Some of those can be turned off in the View menu, giving you more space. Sorry, no idea about auto-scroll. At first I thought you were talking about the autoscroll that follows the playback - that's easily turned off from the tool bar - but it appears you're talking about something else, how the screen tries to recenter when you move to the edge. I don't know. Tom Breton (Tehom) -- Slashdot TV. Video for Nerds.

Indeed. The edge for the purposes of this feature appears to be a fixed size, regardless of the screen size; so on a small screen, an unreasonably large fraction of the screen area ends up being edge and not useful for any editing operations other than scrolling. -- Matthew Skala msk...@ansuz.sooke.bc.ca People before principles. http://ansuz.sooke.bc.ca/ -- Slashdot TV.

I don't know. Tom Breton (Tehom) This is something I have a problem with too, even on a full size display. Personally, I think autoscroll should only take place if you are attempting to drag the pointer right out of the work area. In any case, I would prefer the vertical one to be *much* slower that it currently is. -- Will J Godfrey http://www.musically.me.uk Say you have a poem and I have a tune.

Re: [Rosegarden-user] Disabling auto-scroll
From a design perspective, we basically accepted that getting Rosegarden usable on small screens would be very difficult, and there was little reason to worry with it, because nobody with a small screen had enough power to run Rosegarden anyway. These days, there is amazing power behind quite small screens, and all that old thinking is totally obsolete, null, and void. I have nearly as much power in my pocket as I do on my desktop today, and more RAM in my pocket. It's pretty ridiculous, really. I'm not opposed in principle to some new redesign or tweak campaign to address small screen issues, but in practice I just don't have time to do much with it myself. All in all, I'm not sure if it's worth the effort or not, since netbooks are a dying breed as everyone goes over to tablets. If I owned a tablet myself, I'd never bother installing Linux on it, and I'd just stick with Android.
