wskellenger's Journal: Linux open issues...

1. I can't get my Palm Tungsten|T to work unless I get a newer version of the kernel. I am using 2.4.20. Apparently I need 2.4.21-pre1. Question: Why does something like compatibility with different Palm devices depend on the kernel? I'm not understanding something here...

2. I switched to openbox as my wm. It *is* fast. But I guess I like the "gimmicks" in GNOME. In a previous journal entry I marveled at how ALT-TAB worked just as I thought it would... It doesn't work in openbox anymore. Couldn't find much about how to fix that -- I just found a couple of other posts from people saying that theirs didn't work either.

3. Didn't even attempt to get my Bluetooth USB dongle working. It's a generic unit, so who knows, it might not be supported.

So far I'm liking it -- has not crashed even once yet. But really I haven't had much going except a browser and XMMS, plus maybe a compile going on in the bg. Will get Open Office installed sometime shortly.
