Media +also extends the functionality of many other tdeioslaves. Check which +packages are recommended by the tdebase-tdeio-plugins package, and install +accordingly. + +Note that for regular users to use media in conjunction with HAL, they must +be members of the plugdev group (permanently, not through +/etc/security/group.conf). + + +KControl and Logitech mice +========================== + +In combination with the udev packages, KControl supports the +advanced configuration of many models of Logitech mice, though regular users +must be members of the plugdev group for this to work. + +After installing KControl for the first time, or updating to KControl 3.4.x +or later from an earlier package, you will need to unplug and then replug +your mouse, in order to force udev to grant special permissions +to your mouse, so that KControl can perform advanced configuration. +Rebooting or restarting udev will of course accomplish the same +thing. + + +Installing konsole's bitmap fonts +================================= + +Formerly, the few bitmap fonts TDE included, designed for use with Konsole, +were shipped as part of the xfonts-konsole package. However, as Konsole no +longer uses these fonts by default, and most users no longer use bitmap +fonts at all, TDE now includes these fonts with Konsole itself, and Debian +has followed this practice, including the fonts in the konsole package, and +eliminating the xfonts-konsole package entirely. + +To make use of these legacy fonts, start Konsole, and under Settings --> Font +select "Install Bitmap...". This will allow you to copy the legacy Konsole +fonts to $HOME/.fonts, where, after restarting TDE, all applications run by +that user, including Konsole, will be able to find them. Also make sure that +fontconfig is configured to allow the use of bitmap fonts. If you're not sure, +run, as root, 'dpkg-reconfigure fontconfig' from Konsole. |
