Wednesday, January 30, 2008
Yeah, its the time for some new updated Slackware package. In those the most interesting to me is Amarok which was upgraded to the latest version. I have been using that version of amarok for awhile. I took the new version for a test drive in KDE4 which will be really nice. I’ve since went [...]
KDE4 on NVIDA 1.0-96xx series driver
Thursday, January 17, 2008
Had a couple of problems making KDE4 load on my desktop. At first I though the packages were wrong but after thinking for a second, why would rworkman release something that isn’t working?

MX500 on Slackware Current
Saturday, November 17, 2007
When I upgraded packages on my slackware box this morning to the latest xorg server, my mouse wouldn’t scroll so I googled for a fixed. I don’t when the change occurs but that’s not relevant. At first I just though that the xmodmap changed on me. Well that prove to be right I actually found [...]
