As we seem to be reposting this, here are my comments again.
Yes, tesseract does work well. Here, xsane gives depth 24, but conversion
to depth 8 is neither possible nor necessary. Following the docs, I did
export TESSDATA_PREFIX="/usr/share/tesseract-ocr/"
There was no need for "- l eng" since I only had the English version of
tesseract installed. So to scan a page saved at 300 dpi I just do:
tesseract foo.dvi foo
The result is excellent. I got pretty good results with ocrad but
tesseract is definitely better.

Intel GM965 on Etch
Hello, I have just installed Debian 4.0r4 on a Dell Vostro 1200. My graphics card is Intel GM965. I want to use the 1200x800 resolution that my screen allows however vesa only allows 1024x768. I installed xserver-xorg-video-intel driver from synaptic. The driver's readme file recommends that I add: Section "Device" Identifier "intel" Driver "intel" EndSection But after doing so, X simply crashes.

USB-to-PS/2 adaptor: mouse works, keyboard doesn't
Hello everyone, I'm a new Debian user. I recently installed Debian on my laptop computer, and almost everything worked out of the box. However, there are a few things that don't work now, but did in my old system. So I would like to ask for your advice. I use a PS/2 keyboard and a USB mouse that I connect to the laptop thru a (generic) USB to PS/2 adaptor. The mouse works, but the keyboard doesn't. I have no idea where I can start looking. My guess is that the installation didn't install PS/2 support, but I've been searching the net and reading the documentation, but can't figure how to deal with that. I will appreciate help from more advanced users.

I got poor results on a plain text sample, and much better using gocr with the same scan saved by xsane in pnm format. I see your input file is a DVI. Is that format yield better results than TIFF? If so, how did you convert to that from the formats that xsane will save to? Took me a while to figure out that tesseract will not read a TIFF if its file extension is 'tiff' instead of 'tif'.

Depends on the speeds of the X client machine, the X server machine, the connection between them, and the amount of data being transferred (so using gvim to edit a small text file will be more responsive than using gimp to edit a huge image, for instance). I'm afraid I don't have any measurements of my own systems that would be helpful for you to benchmark against, sorry :( > I use it via internet. The upload speed of server 0,5Mbit. Try using a light application to edit a small file and see if that's responsive. If not, maybe something is wrong. Otherwise, you're probably just pushing one of the systems involved (X client, server, or connection) a little harder than it can easily cope with. Good luck.

extract date information from nef file (nikon raw)
is it possible with linux tools to extract the date information from a nef file? I know it's there because head file.nef shows it and ufraw has the ability to store it in the converted jpg, but I couldn't find an option to ufraw to just print it to the command line (I'm trying to sort the files to directories/names based on the date) Thanks -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".

Fonts messed after using old xorg.conf. Clear cache? How?
Hi, I'm now fine tuning a brand new Lenny install on a clean disk. It came up great out of the original installation with the non-accelerated nvidia driver: it just worked with the WUXGA (1920 X 1200) display. In previous releases the config files (XFree and xorg) required tweaking. I then installed all the fonts I could find with aptitude. No problems with that either. Then I installed the binary nvidia driver (legacy96xx) which is the suitable one for the Go 4200 chip. I had been running the binary driver on Etch and even earlier and the xorg.conf file had some manual tweaks in it. A diff with the original xorg.conf showed almost no difference, so I just copied the old xorg.conf (after backing up the debian installed one of course). BIG MISTAKE! I had overlooked some old font paths in the customized xorg.conf that messed up all the fonts on the display. Everything is way too big now, including the password field in kdm (I use KDE), everything displayed in the status bar is too big, the font in the konsoles is way too big. Of course, the first thing I did was to comment all the font lines out of the xorg.conf, but that didn't do a thing, even after turning the machine off and rebooting. How can I get the original fonts back? I didn't find an obvious command to clear the font cache and a google search turned up lots of pages on how to install and configure fonts, but no answer to this problem. Help! Trying to get rid of too-big fonts... Thanks. A. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact listmas...@lists.debian.org
