Now I just have to read up on the kernel documentation to figure out WHY it worked.. ;-) In addition to the kernel documentation, there is an interesting white paper how VMware handles the time. Googling vmware_timekeeping.pdf will probably get you a link.

[opensuse] One thing driving me crazy - opensuse 11.1/kde4.2 factory/effing nvidia Geforce
by ianseeks 21 Mar '09

21 Mar '09

hi My screen can go black when clicking on an icon/widget, everything is still running e.g. Alt-Tab displays a list of running apps, but i cannot get the display back unless I Ctrl-Alt-Backspace. it is really ruining my KDE4 experience. Ive tried the stable and beta version of the Nvidia driver but its the same result. I don't even know how to explain a this in a bug report because i can't reproduce it at will. aaaaaaggghhhhhh How do i set it to use the "nv" driver in yast? I might as well give it a try. regards Ian -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help(a)opensuse.org

HI Is there anyway that I can configure this option to move the deleted items to the Wastebin? at the moment, it just makes the thread vanish into thin air and I sometimes delete a thread by accident and need to recover it. thanks Ian -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] KDE 4.2 konsole options
by Roger Oberholtzer 20 Mar '09

20 Mar '09

Previous to KDE4.2, konsole had command line options to control things like if the scrollbar was shown, or the size in characters. These were options like: --vt_sz 100x34 --notoolbar --noxft --notabbar --noframe --nomenubar It seems that these have gone away. I have been looking everywhere for a description of how this is done in 4.2, to no avail. I am guessing this is done with a profile option. Does anyone know where these profile options are described in such detail that includes the names of these options so they can be used on the command line with: -p <property=value> -- Roger Oberholtzer OPQ Systems / Ramböll RST Ramböll Sverige AB Krukmakargatan 21 P.O.
