Re: The means overcome the end

Or maybe the video card? I don't think it is the video card. My guess is that KDE (and perhaps XFCE too) has his own ways to improve the sharpness of the fonts. Those of you that are using KDE should try to start just a window manager and see if there are differences. I'm using openbox as a matter ...

Re: freeze: kernel BUG at drivers/gpu/drm/i915/i915_gem.c

Here https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=26932 a suggestion is to disable the framebuffer by passing this parameter during boot:

Code: Select all

i915.powersave=0
I will first try that and then if this doesn't work I will upgrade to the last stable kernel (2.6.38.6 at the moment.)

Re: freeze: kernel BUG at drivers/gpu/drm/i915/i915_gem.c

djemos, did installing mesa and that intel driver solved the problem for you? Because the driver you are suggesting is an Xorg driver while the log is pointing out that the problem is inside a kernel file. I think that the problem both of us are experimenting is kernel releated. It seems to me that ...

Re: freeze: kernel BUG at drivers/gpu/drm/i915/i915_gem.c

I have upgraded to 2.6.37.6. I let you know if this solves or not the problem. It seems to me that I'm the only one having these problems. :?

freeze: kernel BUG at drivers/gpu/drm/i915/i915_gem.c

Hi, occasionally, when I try to suspend or hibernate my laptop freezes. Any suggestions? I tried to google this problem but didn't find a fix. There are several bugs releated to this file but the line is not 4238. Should I upgrade to kernel 2.6.38? lspci output: 00:00.0 Host bridge: Intel Corporatio...

Cream Desktop Environment; anyone tried it yet?

Hi guys,

Have you ever heard of Cream Desktop Environment - http://www.cream-project.org?

Maybe it could be a good companion to Openbox instead of the Xfce environment. ;)

Have you ever tried it and what are your impressions?

Re: xscreensaver less uglier theme

If you are looking in here because you're trying to figure out how to change the logo that xscreensaver displays on the splash screen and password dialog, please don't. The logo is xscreensaver's identity. You wouldn't alter the name or copyright notice on a program that you didn't write; please do...

Re: xscreensaver less uglier theme

I don't get it. All that does here is make the background black and the letters white. Not something I want to look at. As Duncan said it is a matter of taste. Besides, this theme makes the Xlib toolkit really less ugly. At least that's what I think. I will probably also change the default logo bec...

xscreensaver less uglier theme

Hi guys, I really don't like xscreensaver authentication window. I find it rather ugly but it is better than compiling tons and tons of gnome-screensaver dependencies. Yea, I have given up on that long time ago. I suggest Salix Visual Experience Masters ( :D sort of Masters of Universe - He-man anyo...
