Some of these are ] "text-overflow" property not recognised Selector expected ruleset ignored due to bad selector. the site works fine in IE. Is there a problm with my browser configuration or is it a fireofx and IE issue. my firefox version is 1.5.0.1 thanks. -- Puneet

Device Drivers for the Linux Desktop
by Venkatesh Hariharan 22 Feb '06

22 Feb '06

Am forwarding a mail that members of this GLUG may find useful. Venky In recent times the desktop is the focus for GNU/Linux Operating systems. This includes making the desktop experience 'just-work'. To make that happen, a large number of peripheral devices need to be enabled namely, printers (laser jets, dot matrix), scanners, web cameras, modems, biometric devices, smart cards and the like. https://sourceforge.net/projects/oss-drivers/ is a Red Hat initiated (and Red Hat sponsored) project which intends to be a repository of Open Source Drivers for peripheral devices which are popularly used with a modern desktop Linux Operating System. The project has started off with a small subset of peripheral devices but it requires more input in terms of which devices are important for the desktop experience. Details for the devices includes make/model/manufacturer name (and perhaps if a website URL is available) To put across the device requests, one might use the oss-drivers-devicerequests(a)lists.sourceforge.net mailing list or the forums (https://sourceforge.net/forum/?group_id=157095) or even the Feature Request Tracker (https://sourceforge.net/tracker/?group_id=157095). If all of the methods fail then drop a mail to sankarshanm(a)users.sourceforge.net with [Device Request] in the subject line. The files for this project would be released under GPL (or compliant licenses). We also welcome developers who would like to contribute, test out, report bugs and sort of get into the thick of things. Regards Sankarshan sankarshanm(a)users.sourceforge.net

Re: [ILUG-BOM] WOW! ILUG Meet!...I'll ...

> -> Agenda : Talk on Qt/KDE development During the ILUG meet, Mr. Shanker, suggested that we have a discussion on Desktop Enivronments! The one that I am suggesting might not be among favourites.... 1) Migrating from Windows to GNU/Linux (Can be presented over multiple sessions) Every ILUG meet could have say 2 websites that tell something about GNU/Linux (may be that's a form of advertising...but its definitely helping us to reach many!) I do have a list of them, but I'll have to make a file for that..(its in bookmarks) ------------------------ >BTW, please configure your mail client to wrap long lines at around >72-76 characters I dont use any mail client. I directly log on to yahoo mail and write emails. I have kept the default settings which limit the composing window width to 72 characters. If there is something else that I should do to avoid such problems in my future emails to the list, kindly let me know. _____________________________ If you don't know something, its always better to learn it and then experiment with components!
