[LINUX.ORG.MT] Media Player għall-GNOME fus SUSE Linux 10.1

Għeżież,

Hemm xi ħadd jaf jgħidli b'xi Media Player tajjeb li jaħdem bil-GNOME fuq SUSE Linux 10.1? Importanti li jippermettili nħaddem filmati li jaħdmu ġeneralment fuq Windows, u jekk hemm xi programm stil Windows Media Player bħala funzjonalità tant aħjar.

Grazzi minn qabel.

Ciao,
Ederico.

[LINUX.ORG.MT] ThinkPad Function Keys

Hello all,

I've got a thinkpad T60 and I'm trying to get EVERYTHING to work on
Linux. So far I've got the Lenovo utilities, acpi, touchpad and
trackpoint, other crap and some special keys to work.

The problem I have is that not all function keys are working. The keys
which directly control hardware (such as FN+PgUp, which turns on the
thinklight) obviously work. Other keys like the mute, volume up and
volume down button, as well as FN+F4 (suspend to RAM) and FN+F12
(suspend to disk) also work. What's not working are keys which are
entirely software controlled, such as FN+F3, which is supposed to launch
the ThinkVantage power manager utility.

When running xev, the keys which are not working don't even generate a
code. Also, running dmesg doesn't show any "undetected keys" or stuff as
suggested online.

Does anyone have any ideas?

Thanks!

Keith

Re: [LINUX.ORG.MT] ThinkPad Function Keys

What xkb mappings are you using? This setting can be coming from
either your xorg.conf file or else some setting inside KDE/GNOME
related to xkb

[LINUX.ORG.MT] Making the list more Accessible: [Fwd: Re: Mlug-list archives import]

Guys,

The mlug list is now available on theMailArchive with all all previous posts as well. (http://www.mail-archive.com/mlug-list%40linux.org.mt/)

and all new posts are also available on gmane (http://dir.gmane.org/gmane.org.user-groups.linux.mlug)
gmane makes the list available via nntp and rss too!!

These services are just great! Now we can even have an rss feed of the mail list on the website.

Also I think these sites are slurped by google on a regular basis, so this ought to increase our visibility slightly.
btw. should there be a link to the website in the mail-list signature?

Cheers,

Philip

I added the feed to the main website already :)
Yes I agree we should put a link on the bottom of the mailing list.

Re: [LINUX.ORG.MT] ThinkPad Function Keys

If you are not getting any scancode I have no idea how that works!
Do you get scan codes in the console? i.e. before it reaches X?
If i recall the command is called showkeys.

Cheers,
Philip

[LINUX.ORG.MT] mplayer installat - Compiz versus Beryl - WINE

Grazzi ta' l-assistenza dwar xi media player. Irnexxili ninstalla mplayer bil-GUI, mhux mingħajr diffikultà però. Issa l-unika problema li għandi hija illi l-filmati jiġu kbar wisq u ma nafx kif niddefinixxi dimensjoni deċenti għal kull filmat.

F'dawn il-ġranet installajt Compiz u XGL, u qed nitħajjar ukoll insib xi tema għalihom. Hawn xi ħadd jaf jgħidli però jaqbilx aktar nuża Beryl? Milli qrajt ta' l-aħħar fih aktar funzjonalità però instabbli.

Issa se nipprova ninstalla WINE, hawn xi ħadd jużah?

Ederico.

Fuq kollox, għal dawk li jużaw mplayer, m'hemmx il-funzjoni li tippermetti li tirrepeti l-media flok jieqaf kollox ma' tmiem il-lista tal-media ?

Re: [LINUX.ORG.MT] ThinkPad Function Keys

I'm using the X keyboard mappings, and that's not working.
Thinkpad Buttons (tpb) reads the kernel scan codes directly and it's not
detecting them either - though I think that's because it's not designed
to detect those functions (they're not listed in the config file).

I tried showkey. The FN key gives a scan code of 143 whereas the F3 key
gives a code of 61. However, pressing them together shows nothing. On
the other hand, for the Play key (which works), pressing DOWN shows code
108 but pressing FN+DOWN shows 164. I just don't understand how some
stuff is working and some stuff isn't.
