8.0 KDE 3.1 pkgs VS 8.1 KDE 3.1 pkgs...why is 8.0 lacking?
Question for any SuSE people on the list. Why weren't all the KDE 3.1 pkgs that were made for 8.1 made for 8.0? I hope it's not as lame as the font smoothing and icons smoothing excuse between 7.3 and 8.0. Mainly because 8.1 and 8.0 have pretty much the same XFree86 version and many other libs are the same. Could someone shed some light on this? -- Ben Rosenberg ---===---===---===--- mailto:ben@whack.org Tell me what you believe.. I'll tell you what you should see.

there are more packages for 8.1, because they are more splitted. But everything from the subpackages in 8.1 are in the mainpackages for < 8.1. Nothing is missing, except the old distro had not sufficient support for it (old libs). bye adrian ********************************************************************** Adrian Schroeter SuSE AG, Deutschherrnstr. 15-19, 90429 Nuernberg, Germany email: adrian@suse.de (390 mails already received today.)
Hi, I use Suse 8.1, KDE 3.1. in an offiice environment. The girls working with the system (Kword, Gnumeric, etc.) are complaining that the shift-key does not work as it should. (that is to say, unlike windoze they used before) Now, via xkeycaps etc. I tried to adapt it, but i cannot find how to do this: Press key-lock : Only capitals when writing normal. Press again : Back to normal writing Press (and keep pressed) the shift key: Capitals Same in caps-lock mode: normal letters. All this is OK Now however: Press shift key in caps-lock (capitals) mode does not RESET it. It only allowes you to write lower-type as long as you keep it pressed. It should, however, reset the caps-lock mode (as does the caps lock-key). Could anybody give me a tip how to do this? Maybe a mapping in the .Xmodmap file ? Thanks in advance, Steven

In KDE 3.1 at least, goto Regional settings/Keyboard layout. On the options tab there is an option for this. Tom
