Yes, ... the first thing you need to do is determine whether the keys are visible to the kernel... this is easy: From a black screen alt-F1 console use the showkey command... do not do this from a terminal on the desktop.... With showkey running press all the the special multimedia keys... and look for responses. If the key does nothing, then press the F10 key to look at the kernel messages... the kernel will tell you whether the key was recognized and what its scancode is. You can add easily scancodes to the kernel with setkeycodes command. Next, you will need to map the kernel keycode to the X events you want for firefox... or multimedia... whatever... using xev. Run xev from a terminal on your desktop. It will open a window that you will focus with your mouse and then type into it... the keycodes will appear for keypress and keyrelease... write them down... you then map those events to the action you want using the keyboard utilities in the control panel. All of the buttons on all keyboards can be mapped to do anything you want to do... sometimes its a little work... but it is always doable in linux. -- Kind regards, M Harris <>< Kernel see the strokes and all is well, except, in control center, i do not see where to map the numbers to the buttons. I looked in the "keyboard" applet and i was able to map the vol buttons in the "shortcuts" applet. Where exactly do i map the browser buttons to the browser?

I have a Dell keyboard with home, refresh, close, back and forward buttons on it. These buttons do not work when pushed. Is there a way to make these buttons work on SLED10 with firefox2? -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help(a)opensuse.org

This point I think I can manage. Secondly, I would prefer to use the old kernel configuration as a starting point for the configuration of the new kernel. Can I somehow "export" the configuration of the old kernel and use it as a starting point for the new kernel? best regards Torben -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] [OT] Linux in the classroom (K-12)
by Greg Freemyer 22 May '07

22 May '07

All, I just saw this on another mailing list. I know there has previously been a little discussion here about using Linux in a classroom environment. (K-12 I assume). Apparently, the below is fairly big deal and if there are any of you from the Atlanta GA area you may want to volunteer. === From: "Steve Hargadon" <steve.hargadon(a)gmail.com> Subject: [K12OSN] NECC 2007 Open Source Pavilion - Looking for Volunteers! To: schoolforge-discuss(a)schoolforge.net, "Support list for open source software in schools." <k12osn(a)redhat.com> OK, NECC is coming up (June 25 - 27 in Atlanta), and this is a combination of a status report and a call for volunteers. Please forward this email to your Free and Open Source Software friends! NECC is the National Educational Computing Conference (center.uoregon.edu/ISTE/NECC2007), and it attracts over 15,000 educators each year. It's arguable one of the largest (if not the largest) educational technology shows in the world. For the last several years NECC has supported an "Open Source Pavilion" (apologies to Richard Stallman) with an Linux thin-client lab for demonstration purposes. Last year we added a speaker series, which is now a part of their main program. This year we are getting our own large room (!!) and adjacent hallway space. Hurrah! This year's speakers can be seen at our organizing wiki: http://necc2007.wikispaces.com/Speakers. There will also be two "Birds of a Feather" sessions on FLOSS: http://necc2007.wikispaces.com/Birds+of+a+Feather. OK. Now, about getting help! We could really use: 1. Setup volunteers. We'll set up the lab and computers late Saturday afternoon / evening (June 23). Maybe we'll get some pizzas and make it a party. 2. Volunteer for "milling around" Monday through Wednesday (25th - 27th). The Open Source Pavilion needs folks who'll just answer questions (mostly really basic) about what FLOSS is. Come for an hour, or come for three days. 3. "Playground booths," same three days. These are 5 - 10 stations where we'll be demonstrating different FLOSS programs. Previously we've showcased OpenOffice, GIMP, Audacity, Linspire, SchoolTool, Edubuntu, Moodle, Firefox, and Knoppix. We're open to just about anything that you'd like to demonstrate that will give our attendees some good hands-on, one-on-one demonstrations. If you can bring your own computer, that helps, but if you can't just let us know. We also welcome proposals from commercial vendors who will commit themselves to also supporting the FLOSS ideals and helping out in general. You can go to the wiki (http://necc2007.wikispaces.com) to sign up to volunteer or send me and email letting me know what you can do.

Re: [opensuse] Strange behaviour of ACPI on laptop
by torben 22 May '07

22 May '07

I am using 2.6.18, so it is a good idea. But I havent installed/upgraded/configured a kernel for year "in hand". Can I just install the rpm- package and expect everything is working? If not, can you easily give me a good link to how to upgrae the kernel. Best regards Torben Cristea Bogdan wrote: > What kernel version do you have?

[opensuse] Strange behaviour of ACPI on laptop
by torben 22 May '07

22 May '07

I have a laptop with a strange behaviour. If I turn on ACPI when I boot the machine, the USB connections do not work (or at least, they work very bad. A USB mouse is very very slow). If I turn off ACPI when I boot the boot the machine, the USB connections do work but the wireless card does not work. I would like to have a setup, where both the wireless network card and the USB ports are working at the same time. I had been looking at http://www.novell.com/documentation/opensuse102/opensuse102_reference/data/… but I have my problems to find oout, which module I should include, and which I should exclude. I hope someone know how to help me. I could imagine some information of the BIOS system would be a great help, but I do not know how to get the information for the BIOS. Only thing I can see is, the BIOS is based on software from Inside Software CDU. -- Best regards Torben Frøberg -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help(a)opensuse.org
