[08:26] <dougb> anyone here have a compaq v3000 series?
[03:26] <Woodrag> I am running Ubuntu FF 7.04 on my laptop but i cannot get my SB soundcard to work.... Just downloaded the latest kernelupdates but no go...;-( Any helpers.... I love music ....;-(
[03:27] <Nailor> Which card?
[03:30] <Woodrag> ATI Technologies Inc SB450 HDA Audio
[03:30] <Woodrag> I think
[03:30] <Woodrag> there are 5 lines about sound in "lspci"
[03:31] <Nailor> What's the SB soundcard then?
[03:32] <Woodrag> The SB450
[03:32] <Woodrag> Audio device: ATI Technologies Inc SB450 HDA Audio (rev 01)
[03:33] <Nailor> ah
[03:33] <Nailor> well, try google :P
[03:34] <Woodrag> pfff
[03:34] <Woodrag> thanx
[07:47] <dregsboy> i got an idea to make ubuntu more usable on a laptop
[07:49] <dregsboy> i guess no one's home
[07:51] <defendguin> whats your idea?
[07:53] <dregsboy> disable clicking button 3 on the corners of the touch pad
[07:53] <dregsboy> i just fixed my pasting problem that made ubuntu very frustrating
[07:54] <dregsboy> don't know if i'm the only one to complain about that
[07:56] <Nailor_> As button 3 you mean middle button (actually button 2)
[07:56] <Nailor_> ?
[07:56] <Nailor_> I like that feature :P
[07:58] <dregsboy> every time i type something my palm would evetualy tap on the upper right corner of the touchpad and whatever happends to be highlighted is pasted
[07:58] <Nailor> =P
[07:58] <Nailor> Well, you can run syndameon
[07:58] <Nailor> *daemon
[07:59] <dregsboy> i did and it's fixed
[07:59] <Nailor> Which disables your touchpad while you write
[07:59] <Nailor> The only thing I'd like in the touchpad sector would be a nice graphical frontend for non-geek-users
[07:59] <dregsboy> i turned on palm detect and it cleared up the problem
[08:00] <Nailor> At the moment the lack of deasant graphical interface makes me for example to edit settings in configuration files
[08:00] <dregsboy> i agre
[08:00] <dregsboy> i agree
[08:00] <Nailor> Yeah.
[08:00] <dregsboy> qsynaptic is worthless
[08:00] <Nailor> Yup
[08:00] <Nailor> gsynaptic is even worse (not in repos, though)
[08:01] <Nailor> A nice graphical interface to set the touchpad boundaries would be a nice thing
[08:02] <dregsboy> i totally agree, ubuntu is pretty easy to setup but linux still has alot it needs to fix
[08:02] <dregsboy> synaptic is frustrating if you don't have any experience working with linux on a laptop
[08:02] <dregsboy> the driver
[08:03] <dregsboy> not the package manager
[08:35] <Nailor> Yup
[08:43] <dregsboy> A graphical frontend to synclient would make life alot easier for linux users
[08:44] <dregsboy> that shouldn't be very hard to make
[08:46] <mjg59> synclient is implemented via a mechanism that opens security holes
[08:46] <mjg59> I'm looking at reimplementing it properly
[08:47] <dregsboy> while having the same ability to change the settings
[08:47] <mjg59> Yes
[08:47] <mjg59> But doing it properly involves making sure that the design is suitably generic
[08:48] <mjg59> So other touchpad drivers can use the same settings
[08:48] <dregsboy> that would be sweet
[08:48] <dregsboy> i think setting up the touchpad in linux needs to be easier
[08:48] <mjg59> I agree
[08:49] <mjg59> But right now there's no reasonable way to do it
[08:49] <mjg59> This code needs to be written first
[08:49] <dregsboy> well a basic understanding of programing
[08:49] <dregsboy> but i don't know enough working with hardware in linux
[08:50] <dregsboy> so there's little i can do
[08:58] <MrNOKIA> hello
[08:59] <MrNOKIA> can i report here a small issue regarding Dell Inspiron 6400 laptops ?
[08:59] <mjg59> Sure
[08:59] <MrNOKIA> ah, ot's you again :)
[08:59] <MrNOKIA> it*
[08:59] <MrNOKIA> so
[08:59] <MrNOKIA> it's a small issue
[09:00] <MrNOKIA> all the Fn keys seem to work as expected, except for Scroll Lock
[09:01] <MrNOKIA> there's a special button for numlock
[09:01] <MrNOKIA> and the Fn + NumLock should be Scroll Lock
[09:01] <MrNOKIA> it doesn't work
[09:01] <mjg59> Hm.
[09:02] <MrNOKIA> and the small indicating LED doesn't turn on/off
[09:02] <mjg59> Nothing springs to mind - you might want to check launchpad.net to see if there's an existing bug
[09:02] <mjg59> But it's /probably/ an X issue
[09:03] <MrNOKIA> ok
[09:03] <MrNOKIA> going to launchpad :)
