Tip of the day

If you're fancy, like this strange shirtless whistler, and running Xgl, you might be annoyed that Shift + Backspace restarts X. I was. Here's something to throw in /etc/init.d/. Remember to `update-rc.d defaults`

#!/bin/bash
#
# Fix problem with shift + backspace in Xgl
#

case "$1" in
        start)
                xmodmap -e "keycode 22 = BackSpace"
                exit 0
                ;;
        *)
                exit 0
                ;;
esac

"...like this strange *shirtless* whistler..."

yeah, caught that.

I wonder how the percentage of shirtless computer users is weghted across operating systems...

Anyway, this turns out to be not such a good idea. The service will run fine, but if you ever need to restart X, your modmap change will disappear. There are a few per-user ways to fix this (~/.Xprofile...ish), but for a system-wide fix I've been told to hunt around in /etc/profile/ - will do.

oh man. just got compiz running. this is sooo awesome. can't look at that video, unfortunately.

Awesome! it worked then. smooth?

One day I'll buy a graphics card...
