hi there,
i have been a long time blackbox user, but recently decided that maybe a full blown desktop would be nice for a change. so i installed gnome-2.8 from
testing/unstable. it looks very sweet, but i have several issues which i hope
some people can help me with:
- gnome overrides .Xmodmap (even if i try and load it manually in .gnomerc), and i have a non trivial setup which i wish to use... the gnome keyboard configuration program does not appear sophisticated enough to do what i want. is there any way to use an Xmodmap style setup in gnome? specifically, i wish to do this (this is my .Xmodmap)
keycode 64 = Mode_switch
keycode 115 = Alt_L
keycode 116 = Meta_L
keycode 108 = Multi_key
clear Mod1
clear Mod2
clear Mod3
clear Mod4
clear Mod5
add Mod1 = Alt_L
- i like to run emacs and dvi viewers in fullscreen mode in blackbox. but i
see no way to remove the window shades from a running program under gnome...
surely there must be a way! anyone know how? proper fullscreen mode would be even more appreciated (i.e. no window shades or gnome panels in view at all)
- on startup i get a warning about the permissions of /dev/pmu being incorrect. i don't want to go messing with the permissions of it... so how can i turn off whatever is trying to access it?
thanks in advance!
