Hi.
New to this list, but not new to Enlightenment :)
In the last week I had updated Enlightenment DR17 to the latest CVS.
Firstly, things are just getting better and better...
So I Finally decided to dump Konsole and remove all kde-base built packages
from my system (using gentoo), and move onto eterm 0.9.3 (using screen, and
the eterm escreen theme). LOVE IT, but ran into one major problem that is
already causing me grief.
In Konsole I could highlight text using mouse, right click =, and cut 'n
paste this to anywhere else. I seem to have lost this ability in eterm. A
right click just does nothing.
Anyone know how I can cut text from inside eterm to the XClipboard ?
The second issue i am having (and this is purely since the latest CVS
update, is the 'integration' of enlightenments screen saver with password
lock into the thinkpad t43 bioapi.
When I try to swipe my finger on the fingerprint reader, nothing happens,
and I then have to remember my password, and log on manually. (the first
time was hell, as I had not actually used my manual password logon in over a
year !)
The bioAPI system is working fine, and I even re-install the complete
system, just to be sure, but the issue remained.
I scanned the log files and get:
Nov 29 19:39:21 DeepThought pam_bioapi[22095]: Unable to load BioAPI BSP
with UUID of {5550454b-2054-464d-2f45-535320425350}, BioAPI error #194d.
Searching the bioAPI resources, I find that error 194d is about permissions
on the bioapi usb devices in /proc. I know they are correct, as I had double
checked, and also bioAPI works on everything else (su interminal, sudo etc
etc).
Does Enlightenment screen-lock use its own code, or is it something
X-Related, as XScreensaver needs a patch to make it work with the bioAPI
I had also seen a lot of users mention that if XScreensaver is set to run
setuid root, then they get the same issue, so I am thinking that the
enlightenment screensaver/lock is actually running as another user, and not
my logged in user ? Anyone know if this is so ?
Any pointers would be appreciated.
(I am now looking at the code for screen lock, and the code patch for
XScreensaver, so see if I cannot see some simalarity, and maybe create a
patch for Enlightenment screen lock.)
Regards
Lucas
