I have no idea where On my i8000 you can press Fn-F7 (font) and it will toggle to a larger font size that fills the whole screen. I'm not sure whether this is persistent but mine seems to be. P.S. When you upgraded did you go from Ximian Gnome to the standard Gnome packages? I'm thinking of upgrading soon and am wondering about that step. -- * * Simon Wong* * * * <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> * * * * -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".

Tip for young players: you need to make sure the SMP (Symmetric Multiple Processors aka SMP) is *NOT* set in your kernel, which it shouldn't be in the standard packages, to be able to compile it.

I was running 2.2.19pre17 (slightly earlier than yours) with versions 5.99, 6.0a1 and 6.0b4. All of which worked when compiled from source. The only problem I had was with getting the right headers. The build process kept complaining about it so I ended up compiling a new kernel to make 100% sure the kernel headers were the same. Prepackaged ones may work too. When you get further into it I would highly suggest moving to Woody (testing) as there are a lot more fun things to play with but you need to be somewhat prepared for the odd breakages that may require backtracking packages.

After much stuffing around i have an IR sync happening with my Dell Inspiron 8000, kernel 2.4.17 and my Palm Vx. First step is to have a look at http://www.linux-laptop.net/ for some notes by someone with the same laptop as you. You should also have a read of the IR-HOWTO for some background information. I have found it to be a little out of date but a good starting point. I have only really got it working with the 2.4 kernels as I wanted that series for better USB support. You need to enable IrDA support in the kernel (built-in or modules) and have modules/support built-in for ircomm and irtty. You also need to install the irda utilities (you need irattach to connect your IR serial port). It is worthwhile looking at the linux-irda list's archives (Google will find it) for other's more specific IR experiences .

Dell Inspiron 8000 Fn key not working
Hi all! After a recent BIOS update to A20 (I did all the ones in between as well) my blue Fn key no longer gets passed through to the BIOS. I used to be able to pull up the battery status (Fn-F3) and enter the setup (Fn-F1) etc but now it does nothing. xev reports the same keycode for the button with or without the Fn key pressed e.g. Fn-F1 returns keycode 67 as does F1 by itself. I am using Gnome and X4.1. It used to work with A17 but I don't really want to go back as the temp/fan control seems to be better with this BIOS.

Page up/down keys not working (Dell i8000)
My page up and down keys seem to have stopped working in the console and gnome terminals. I ran xev but it's NOT registering them. The debian package console-common was recently updated and asked me for a keyboard, which I used "us", which should be fine. My X settings have not changed and are using "pc104", "us" keyboard. Does anyone have any clues as to what this may be? TIA for any tips. I have a Dell Inspiron 8000 (BIOS A18). -- ** * Simon Wong * **

I have no idea where On my i8000 you can press Fn-F7 (font) and it will toggle to a larger font size that fills the whole screen. I'm not sure whether this is persistent but mine seems to be. P.S.

Tip for young players: you need to make sure the SMP (Symmetric Multiple Processors aka SMP) is *NOT* set in your kernel, which it shouldn't be in the standard packages, to be able to compile it.

I was running 2.2.19pre17 (slightly earlier than yours) with versions 5.99, 6.0a1 and 6.0b4. All of which worked when compiled from source. The only problem I had was with getting the right headers. The build process kept complaining about it so I ended up compiling a new kernel to make 100% sure the kernel headers were the same. Prepackaged ones may work too. When you get further into it I would highly suggest moving to Woody (testing) as there are a lot more fun things to play with but you need to be somewhat prepared for the odd breakages that may require backtracking packages.

Inspiron 8000 IR and Palm (not talking and unreliable IR connection)
I am trying to get my Linux installation to talk to my Palm Vx via IR. I was following the i8100 threadrecently and gave it a go.

Could please tell me the sequence you use to connect up?

After much stuffing around i have an IR sync happening with my Dell Inspiron 8000, kernel 2.4.17 and my Palm Vx. First step is to have a look at http://www.linux-laptop.net/ for some notes by someone with the same laptop as you. You should also have a read of the IR-HOWTO for some background information. I have found it to be a little out of date but a good starting point. I have only really got it working with the 2.4 kernels as I wanted that series for better USB support. You need to enable IrDA support in the kernel (built-in or modules) and have modules/support built-in for ircomm and irtty. You also need to install the irda utilities (you need irattach to connect your IR serial port). It is worthwhile looking at the linux-irda list's archives (Google will find it) for other's more specific IR experiences . Good luck. -- ****** * Simon Wong * **

Not something Then checkout HTMLdoc from easy software (CUPS people) it will generate ps or pdf files from bunches of html files.

The problem is most of the time when someone logs out e.g. on vt8 my session on vt7 dies too :-( I have setup GDM to NOT restart X servers.

Potato is *really* old as mentioned and you'll feel like you've gone back in time, IF you want to use a GUI desktop like Gnome. For learning the command line stuff though and basic sys admin stuff it will do the job. Keep an eye out for Woody's release as it's *much* better. I'd also recommend that your first installation be "practise" I went through several installs learning the basics. Then you can reinstall when Woody's released.

Logitech wheel mouse on Dell i8000
G'Day all! I've been trying to get my the scroll-wheel to work on my Logitech wheel mouse with no luck. My XFree86-4 config file looks like this and I have the mouse plugged into the PS/2 port. Section "InputDevice" Identifier "Mouse0" Driver "mouse" Option "Protocol" "PS/2" Option "Device" "/dev/psaux" Option "Emulate3Buttons" Option "Buttons" "5" Option "ZAxisMapping" "4 5" Option "Emulate3Timeout" "50" EndSection The mouse itself works fine and all 3 buttons work okay but the scroll-wheel does nothing. I have also tried to use the IMPS/2 mouse driver but that results in an unusuable mouse (pointer jumps all over the place when I move the mouse). I am using X 4.1.0-13. Has anyone got any suggestions as to what else to try? I looked on the Logitech site but didn't see any Linux notes/supprt. Any help would be appreciated, thanks. -- ** * Simon Wong * ** -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Potato is *really* old as mentioned and you'll feel like you've gone back in time, IF you want to use a GUI desktop like Gnome. For learning the command line stuff though and basic sys admin stuff it will do the job. Keep an eye out for Woody's release as it's *much* better. I'd also recommend that your first installation be "practise" I went through several installs learning the basics. Then you can reinstall when Woody's released.

Dell Inspiron 8000 Fn key not working
Hi all! After a recent BIOS update to A20 (I did all the ones in between as well) my blue Fn key no longer gets passed through to the BIOS. I used to be able to pull up the battery status (Fn-F3) and enter the setup (Fn-F1) etc but now it does nothing. xev reports the same keycode for the button with or without the Fn key pressed e.g. Fn-F1 returns keycode 67 as does F1 by itself. I am using Gnome and X4.1. It used to work with A17 but I don't really want to go back as the temp/fan control seems to be better with this BIOS. Has anyone seen this problem and know a way to get it to work again??! TIA. -- ***** * Simon Wong* * * * <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> * * * * signature.asc Description: This is a digitally signed message part

Well, I have just updated to A21 and it works again. It was working for a little while when I had first started using A20 so I suspect some strange goings on here :-( If anyone else has experienced this I'd be very interested to hear their thoughts... -- ** * Simon Wong * ** -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".

Modeline for 800x600 on Dell Inspiron 8000, Rage 128
Does anyone ou there have a modeline that will work for 800x600 on a Dell Inspiron 8000 with an ATI Rage 128 video card? I want to get the TV out going for which you need 800x600.

Thanks very much for the tip - this is driving me insane :-( There's also another program called videogen that seems more comprehensive.
