Re: In woody wdm garbles list of window managers, shows only a few

I am using wdm to login to X, but it shows only a few of the possible window

Line from /etc/X11/wdm/wdm-config:
DisplayManager*wdmWm: 
afterstep:amiwm:asclassic:blackbox:default:enlightenment:fluxbox:flwm:fvwm2:fvwm95:gnome-session:gwm:icewm:icewm-lite:ion:kde2:larswm:lwm:metacity:olvwm-x-window-manager:olwm-x-window-manager:pwm:qvwm:ratpoison:sapphire:sawfish:twm:uwm:wm2:wm2:wmaker:xfwm
When the dropdown menu slides, it makes a mess at the line corresponding to 
`icewm`. I suppose that in the configuration somewhat there is a limit to the 
number of window managers that can be displayed. I have no idea about how to 
fix it. Anyone knows how?
So far, kdm seems to be the best in terms of options to login (window 
managers). The problem I had with it was that it consistently failed to present 
a few of the window managers. This question is anotherone I would like to know 
how to fix.
Thanks.
 

This may help 
Go into KDE, control center
Add a session type "eg fluxbox"
vi /etc/kde2/kdm/kdm.options
delete generate-sessiontypes
I had window managers disppearing because KDM tries to work out what 
window managers you have and gets it wrong. Doing the above lets you 
specify manualy.

Good Luck

You have to start your applications with the artsdsp wrapper.

It didn't used to be this way and it doesn't work that
way on my other machines which are running 3.1.2 as
well as CVS. It's quite a hassle to go through and
edit the .desktop files for every non-KDE app.

Re: Non-KDE apps can't play sounds

2003-06-18 Thread David Pye
Could it be that arts can share the sound card on your other system because 
your sound card driver supports multi-open, but the one on this system 
doesn't? 

I don't think that explains why it DID work but doesn't now though.  Also, you 
could set arts to suspend after a set period of inactivity so that other apps 
can get a chance to play their sounds (just not at once..) - I think that 
suspend means close /dev/dsp  You can configure this from Control Center 
-> Multimedia&Sound -> Sound server.

Re: Has anyone figured out why fonts are broken...

2003-06-18 Thread Bruce Sass
afaict (or know)...
xserver-svga is a v3.3.6 server, so I need a tt font server.
I don't think anti-aliasing works with v3 servers.

I don't recall looking at /etc/fonts/... though.

Re: Has anyone figured out why fonts are broken...

2003-06-18 Thread Bruce Sass

iirc, once or twice, but not recently (it is running now but will
take awhile on this old box).

When doing the font cache update command (don't remember what it is
atm, currently being run by the dpkg-reconfigure, ya) messages
indicated that lots of fonts were found and registered, but it didn't
make any difference to KDE.
