I've "borrowed" a Dell Latitude LS from work to play with. Everything
works fine except sound. The sound chip is a NeoMagic 256AV. The

Hi,
I am not an expert on KDE, but I figure it out that if you want
to paste something to Netscape 4.77 the text has to be still
highlighted, otherwise nothing is pasted to Netscape. More than that
if the window where you selected the text is no longer available
is not to much to be done. You may

When I've put something to the clipboard under *nix before, and hit the
"paste" button in Netscape, it has correctly copied what was on the
clipboard. It didn't matter if it was copied out of a term window by
simply highlighting, or from another application.
However, right now it does not wo
