Crisp Fonts on FC5
by Francis 23 Aug '06

23 Aug '06

I use FC5 and I notice that the fonts are now crisp enough as compared to that on Ubuntu. I checked in Ubuntu that is used the Sans font . I also tried "Subpixel smoothing (LCDs)" but I still don't get the same Clean Crispy Gnome Menus in the FC5 . Any inputs as to why this behavior ?? Cheers, Francis

Later, for my sf projects i > chose GPL because it was the first choice on the sf list. So is not 'F' the first character of FOSS? And dont you use NRC-FOSS as your signature? If you have not read/understood the GPL then that 'F' does not make any sense to you. Before going any further, let me tell you such behaviour will severely reduce your credibility. > people who write FOSS code are too busy to bother themselves with the > complexities and nit picking of the GPL and prefer a less obtrusive > license which allows them to concentrate on what they do best - > producing code. So I will probably be shifting my projects to a BSD > style license in the near future. Ah. Brilliant. Concentrate on what they do best? Why dont you go to Microsoft. They have projects in Sourceforge, and the best thing is they will give you one laptop and a desktop (the very best ones) plus a fat paycheck. That will ensure you can keep concentrating on your code, and reap the benefits (point 13 of BG's mail). >> Write code for Microsoft or Apple? > a suprising amount of foss code *is* written for those platforms - > see the top 20 on sourceforge Thats what. Microsoft IS the place for you. By the way Microsoft took its TCP/IP stack code from a BSD-style license only. > Kenneth Gonsalves > Associate, NRC-FOSS > lawgon(a)au-kbc.org > http://nrcfosshelpline.in/web/ NRC-FOSS, eh?

There is no > registration procedure or fees for attending. Wow! But there aren't any reaching instructions on the GLUG-Website. Is the hall closer to Marine Lines Station or Churchgate Station. Any specific lankdmarks ? Bus Route Nos.? Though I do have lectures on Sunday too, hopefully, 27th being Ganesh Chaturthi, my lectures may be cancelled, I think, I will be able to make it there. __________________________________________________________ Yahoo!

Re: [ILUG-BOM] Re: [Ilug-cal-discuss] Fedora Core & Intel 855GM
by Debarshi 'Rishi' Ray 21 Aug '06

21 Aug '06

NB: I am sending this to both lists since I have mixed up the threads in both of them. The original question was asked in the ilug-cal-discuss. This has happened entirely due to my callousness. I hope you will understand. > Try doing this, stop your X, remove i810 (modprobe -r i810) then load > i915 (modprobe i915), start your X. See if it works. If it doesn't then > it's clearly a hardware issue. If it works, then fiddle with your > /etc/modprobe.conf and make sure it loads i915 at next boot instead of i810. Yes it works. Interestingly my /etc/X11/xorg.conf says: Section "Device" Identifier "Videocard0" Driver "i810" VendorName "Videocard vendor" BoardName "Intel Corporation 82852/855GM Integrated Graphics Device" EndSection Even after modprobing the i915 driver, if I change the xorg.conf entry from i810 to i915, X refuses to start. This was the problem I had encountered in the past. Is it necessary to change the entry at all? > I am a Debian / Ubuntu guy. It's been a long time since I have used > anything else. :D > PS - Debarshi, can you kindly fix your mail client (GMail?)? It creates > a new thread each time you reply. Check the list archives to confirm the > issue. Not only that, my GMail autocompletion is also creating a lot of problems by popping out different addresses for the same keyword at different times. Thats no excuse, and I hope I will be able to rectify very soon. Cheerio, Debarshi -- Don't be humble ... you're not that great. -- Golda Meir
