[gentoo-user] [OT] Display card advice needed

I have been given a superb Iiyama 24' Vision Master Pro display (considered too bulky for the office it was in). I have to buy a new graphics card able to plug it in. It must: - be able to display 2048x1536 at 87Hz - be able of 3d acceleration - use, as much as possible, an Open Source driver - no

[gentoo-user] OO and slot 5500

I use openoffice on two systems and one has developed a dialog box that says /home/$[user]/slot:5500 is unavailable. Cancelling causes the requested document to open normally. This happened back a few weeks ago after some updates (but by the time I noticed it, it was too late tell which ones). OO

[gentoo-user] Konqueror-3.5.8 Go menu

Hi all, I've broken Konqueror. Again. Sometime after emerging kde-4 I accidentally ran konqueror from my regular user account without noticing that kde4 was in the PATH before kde-3.5.8, and it ran the new one. As a result, my .kde dir in ~ got a little scrambled :-( All seems fine except for
