Hi experts,
I got almost everything working on my new TP42p but
still have few issues I don't know to fix.
1. Fonts in Mozilla based application are too small
and even setting font size to 28 and up does not help
for say thunderbird email body text. Also in firefox,
say headlines are ok and get change when font size is
changed but article text stays too small. Using <ctrl>
+ does makes spaces between lines bigger but does not
change fots size.
2. when dvd is inserted, it gets auto mounted to
/media/

You don't say what distro version you have installed, gut I assume it is a fresh install. Anyway, every time I have done a new install I have the same problem you have described with apps that use gtk. The cure is to set up apps like Mozilla, Firefox, GQview etc. with the Gnome Control Center and/or Gnome1 Control Center to make all of the changes you like in those apps. They may already be installed. Go to >Utilities > Desktop and they should be there. If not install them from the CD/DVD.
2. when dvd is inserted, it gets auto mounted to /media/
which is causing a bit of problem so I'd like to hange it to /media/dvd instead 3. xcdroast works for root but for regular user it spits errror:cdrecord: Cannot allocate memory. Cannot get SCSI I/O buffer, which matches 'Bugzilla Bug 136066 ' in 2.6.8 kernel but I have 2.6.11.4-21.9.
Any suggestions appreciated.

There are to possibilities: disable HAL and D-Bus or take the steps outlined below. This is what I did to overcome the problem: 1. Locate the directory /usr/share/hal/fdi/95userpolicy and add a small file called something like "nodvd.fdi" or whatever you want it to call: (as root) # touch nodvd.fdi 2. Open "nodvd.fdi" in your favourite editor and add the following lines: <?xml version="1.0" encoding="ISO-8859-1"?> <!-- -*- SGML -*- --> <deviceinfo version="0.2"> <device> <match key="@info.parent:storage.drive_type" string="cdrom"> <match key="@info.parent:storage.policy.desired_mount_point" string="cdrecorder"> <merge key="volume.policy.desired_mount_point" type="string">dvdram</merge> </match> </match> </device> </deviceinfo> 3. For DVD-ROMs change 'cdrecorder' to 'cdrom' and 'dvdram' to 'dvd'. For DVD Recorders (I have a DVD RAM) either leave it as is or change 'dvdram' to 'dvdwriter'. 4. Update HAL by invoking 'rchal'. Now, a DVD is mounted below /media/dvd.
3. xcdroast works for root but for regular user it spits errror:cdrecord: Cannot allocate memory. Cannot get SCSI I/O buffer, which matches 'Bugzilla Bug 136066 ' in 2.6.8 kernel but I have 2.6.11.4-21.9.
This is a known issue with all kernels >= 2.6.8. Until now, use it as root. \Steve

Perfect, It worked! I left it as dvdram as it is dvd writer and had to do 'rchal restart'

This is weird but similar problem has bit me again with Cisco vpn client. It does not want to run under regular user but works just fine under root which I'm a bit concerned to run it that way. Any suggestion here? Thx, Martin __________________________________ Start your day with Yahoo! - Make it your home page! http://www.yahoo.com/r/hs
