KDE accepte 2 modes de fonctionnement de la souris :
Ce comportement se définit dans systemsettings, thème « Clavier & Souris »

Today, in KDE, I have started a windows application throuh wine. The applicaiton tried to change the video mode, and my screen turned blank with « Video mode not supported ». This means that the resolution or refresh rate are not supported by the screen.
Alright, I restart my X11 server. I can log in, and during the initialisation of the KDE session, the screen went blank again. Usually this is configured in /etc/X11/xorg.conf, but this is obviously correct since I have the KDE login manager (kdm). Something during in KDE changes that.
My first idea was that the wine applicaiton was still in the KDE session. Being exectuted during the startup, it would push the new unsupported video mode.
Actually, it’s much more simple. There is a configuration file called ~/.kde4/share/config/krandrrc which defines the resolution, à la randr (X Resize and Rotate Extension)
Hier, j’expliquais comment modifier les raccourcis clavier de KDE les plus courants.
On peut faire la même chose de façon un peu plus geek, ou disons le franchement un peu moins simple.
Dans KDE 3, les programmes peuvent recevoir des messages via DCOP1.
Par exemple, pour afficher/masquer le bureau, on peut exécuter la commande:
dcop kicker kicker toggleShowDesktop

Sous Windows, il y a un raccourci clavier que j’utilise souvent: Win+D. Il Permet de réduire toutes les fenêtres pour afficher de son bureau. En recomposant Win+D, on réouvre les fenêtres réduites auparavant. C’est très pratique pour ouvrir un document placé sur son bureau, par exemple.
Sous KDE, le raccourci clavier équivalent est Ctrl+Alt+D, par défaut. Mais on peut évidemment changer cela, très simplement. Voilà comment faire pour utiliser Win+D qui a l’avantage d’être plus court (mais l’inconvénient de faire allusion à un système d’exploitation épouvantable, diront certains). Lire la suite
After syncing my gentoo portage, I have discovered many conflicts in my portage tree. KDE 3.5 has been marked stable on amd64, but the update could not be straightforward because of blocking packages.
I quickly found out that there was a conflict between monolithic packages and modulized packages (like kdebase vs kdebase-meta which simply requires konsole, kstart, kdepasswd, etc.) It took me much more time to understand the source of this conflict. It was pretty simple, though. In my world file, there was the very monolithic kde-base/kde (which was a mistake because I uninstalled it long ago).
Then, I struggle longuer with the compilation of the individual packages. Whatever the order I tried, I was stopped with the error: xxx.moc: No such file or directory For instance:

Done.
The clue was
/usr/share/aclocal/linc.m4:1: warning: underquoted definition of AM_PATH_LINC
run info '(automake)Extending aclocal'
It sounds like automake was not up to date. Unfortunately it was (almost)
kro64 bin # emerge -s automake
Searching...

* sys-devel/automake

I then gave a try to
cd /usr/bin/
mv automake automake-wrapper
ln -s automake-1.9 automake
And that worked 
automake-wrapper was guilty!
Hope this helps!
