Hi, This is a question that probably has a really obvious answer that I'm just not finding. How do I completely and totally disable the screensaver that kicks in on KDE / Fedora Core 3 on my Toshiba laptop (M2, nVidia chipset if that makes a difference)? I use it to watch movies a lot and

Don't know about fedora, but is it using Xscreensaver ? Thinking back to the last time I used KDE, I think you should be able to find a preference in kcontrol (Got the same lappy, but it shouldn't make a difference). -- Simon Males [EMAIL PROTECTED] Del wrote: Hi, This is a question

G'day, When looking at laptop compatibility, I find that tuxmobil.org is an indespensible resource. They have a page with information on Asus laptops at http://tuxmobil.org/asus.html. The pages linked to give a fair amount of information on how well they work under Linux. HTH, Lindsay Marek

I am a lindows - now linspire - user at home for the family (they also use a Mac Mini with OSX) and gentoo at work and have used Mandrake historically. I have installed and used ubuntu for only a short time on an x86 and a little longer on a PowerBook. Linspire is by far the most user

The whole application to be accessed via SSL? If yes, then the steps are: - create the certificates. - make sure your apache installation was compiled with SSL support, then enable SSL on a given virtualhost (since you're just switching, probably the virtualhost has the same name as the host
