Hi. In my SuSE 9.1, I use Konqueror. Every time I open it, it doesn't fill the whole screen, and I have to do that manually. I also have the same situation with Yast, and with opening a terminalwindow. How can that be set to fill the whole screen at start up ?. Erik Jakobsen

As an example, in 8.2 I could have Konqueror and xterm fill my whole 800x600 screen by using these as startup commands: konqueror -geometry 800x600+0+0 xterm -geometry 800x600+0+0 or, rather, 800x575, since the title bar takes some space. Yast: probably the same, haven't checked it. 'man X' for more info. S.H.

Try using your mouse to drag to edges to the size you want. I just made mine larger. Rich

Thanks for your reply. What do you mean by a "startup command" ?. Erik.

You can set those parameters by editing the appropriate icons of through the menu editor.

Hi there, nope, I don't use that scanner you mention but I found out that VUEScan (http://www.hamrick.com/vsm.html) gives better quality and has more options than Kooka, for example... just give it a try. HTH, Martin

With USB scanner support taken out of the 2.6.x kernels, libusb and xsane/sane can't see my scanner, so many months ago I downloaded vuescan and that has been fine. The only problem noticed is with gimp which is tied to xscanimage, I messed with the config files to get gimp-2.0.x to use vuescan, it started vuescan but couldn't grab the image. I'll float this to the gimp mailing list and see what comes back. Regards Sid. -- Sid Boyce .... Hamradio G3VBV and keen Flyer =====LINUX ONLY USED HERE=====

It depends on which kernel you are using, I had problems with 2.6.4, but 2.6.8.1 works fine. You will also have to make sure the user can read and write to /proc/bus/usb/xxx/xxx where xxx/xxx is the device numbers for your scanner.

OK, sane-find-scanner has found it on 2.6.9-rc2-mm2, but scanimage and xscanimage can't, vuescan will just fire up and detect the Perfection 610. # epson.conf # # here are some examples for how to configure the EPSON backend # # SCSI scanner: ####scsi EPSON # # Parallel port scanner: #pio 0x278 #pio 0x378 #pio 0x3BC # # USB scanner - only enable this if you have an EPSON scanner.

Try changing this to just usb, libusb doesn't use /dev/usbsanner (it uses /proc/bus/usb/xxx/xxx directly. Have you checked you scanner device permission under /proc/bus/usb?

A command to start the program with. You can set those parameters by editing the appropriate icons or through the menu editor. ;-) Jerry Feldman wrote:

To create an icon on the KDE desktop: right click on desktop > Create New > Link to Application... > tab 'Execute' > in the 'Command' field, enter <name of X application> -geometry 1024x768+0+0 Then start the application with the icon you just created. Or edit the command field in an existing icon: right click on icon > Properties... etc. In a similar way one can add a menu entry, or edit an existing one. S.H.
