  1. Re:RadeonFB fixed yet? on Linux Kernel 2.6.0-test8 Released · · Score: 1

    Yeah, sorry, I was talking crap earlier [due to being half asleep]

    Have you tried this solution? I don't know if that's the same problem, and yeah, it should be in the main kernel.

    Have you tried MM kernels as well? They may contain fixes for it...

    Yup, I could automatically tell this was a Michael story the second I saw the headline...

    I'm just waiting for "Your Rights Online: FSF Threatens More Linux-Lovers" with regards to Linksys et al... of course, that'll never happen :-/ /me heads to his profile to banish Michael stories

    Broken how? Framebuffer implementation has changed in 2.6; when loading modular framebuffer support you need to use fbset .

    If this post leaves out critical info or something, it's 3AM FFS...

  7. QuickCam Web on WebCam Options for Linux? · · Score: 1

    I have a Logitech QuickCam Web, there are only working kernel modules for 2.4 though (no 2.6 experimental goodness) - you can grab 'em from the sourceforge page. I don't know if you can have multiple cams though.

  8. Re:AT&T has the server logs! on Do Not Call Site Has AT&T Stats Tracker? · · Score: 2, Insightful

    Err...what? People visit 1x1 gif => entry in server logs. Using 1x1 gifs is 100% based on server logs.

    Does it popping up what it thinks the next word you're going to type count? If so, just leave that option on and untuned and you'll be fine :). (Yes, I do all my word processing and spreadsheet work in OOo)

  12. Re:synaptics touchpad support on Improve Your GNU/Linux Experience With -mm Patches · · Score: 2, Informative

    Oh yeah, and it's bad to reply to myself, but the touchpad essentially acts as a PS/2 mouse to anything which doesn't have special drivers.

    Erm... Because it is?
    [dave@tc4 ~/linux-2.5.74]$ grep Synaptics drivers/input/mouse/Kconfig
    compatible. Support for Synaptics TouchPads is also included.
    For Synaptics TouchPad support in XFree86 you'll need this XFree86

  14. Huh? on Microsoft "Swen" Worm Squiggles Into Sight · · Score: 1

    The W32.Swen's claim to fame is its professional looking email advertisement that pretends to be a fake Microsoft patch.

    So..if it pretends to be a fake MS patch, does that make it a real MS patch? Or does it pretend to be an MS patch which doesn't do what it's supposed to? Or...

    Sorry, we have had to stop this live edition of talking crap, as Dave's head has exploded

    Hey, you could even use perlcc -c (outputs C code) with the same usage options, make it open source, and still have the benefits of it being closed ;-) (if you don't get this joke, you've not seen C output by perlcc).
