KDE and media kioslave support
|
|
|
|
|
==============================
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The media kioslave, new in KDE 3.4, supports the automatic mounting of
|
|
|
|
|
removable devices, such as CD-ROM and DVD drives, USB pen drives, digital
|
|
|
|
|
cameras, and many other types of equipment.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
While some functionality is available without the use of HAL, media works
|
|
|
|
|
best with HAL (and therefore udev), in combination with pmount. Media
|
|
|
|
|
also extends the functionality of many other kioslaves. Check which
|
|
|
|
|
packages are recommended by the tdebase-kio-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 KDE 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, KDE 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 KDE, 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.
