Hi,

seems to work fine on 3.0.4 on  CentOS 5.2

Perhaps it might related to one of the plugins or extensions?

I think it is flash related.

Works with FF3.0.4 on Ubuntu 8.10.

You may want to try gyorjewish.org/main.htm

It wants to load some real-media file. The following is the sourcecode of
the page:

Re: Typing Hebrew nikud

2008-11-26 Thread Dov Grobgeld
Lots of years back I created a .xkbmap that allowed enterying nikud. I
believe that any layout of the nikud is fine as long as you have an image of
your layout to stare at. That way, you're motor memory will soon pick up the
layout, just as it does for any touch typing.

The laayout may be downloaded from:
http://imagic.weizmann.ac.il/~dov/Hebrew/pango-hebrew.html

Note that there is a draft standard for a Hebrew keyboard including nikud
at:

http://www.qsm.co.il/NewHebrew/Key1452.htm

It would make sense to add that to the default X11 keyboard driver.

Dov

I never tried gspca with the nv driver - only the binary driver.

On a side note, if you rather not install binary driver, I'd suggest you
throw away the nVidia card and replace it with an older ATI card.
Preferably R300/400/500 based.

2008-11-26 Thread Hetz Ben Hamo
Sorry, but I disagree with you.

If someone is using the card for 2d only work without any 3d stuff,
then the "nv" driver does great work, including good video support.

There is also a development these days to create a driver from scratch
and it's making good progress.

Hi Amos,
Thanks for the feedback. It did not occur to me to check the linux archive,
but I did check my folders before writing.
For some time already, I noticed that the mail appeared in my mailer after a
relatively large delay, but it is the first time that it did not appear at
all. Apparently something  deteriorated in my procmail configuration. I'll
have to check it.
Cheers, Avraham
