pclinxuos 2007 beta

[BIGEE1212]

Started using this distro and it's pretty solid, although I have some questions. (maybe it applies to other linux distributions as well)

1. How do I change the fonts in a non-kde program (namely Opera), the menu fonts are too small on 1920 x 1200 resolution.

2. How do i get the feature of pressing my scroll wheel to get universal scrolling? (if that makes sense)

3. how do i adjust shortcuts within opera? I want to be able to hold the ctrl key and scroll up and down to change the zoom on the page. This feature is present in Windows.

Thanks.

1. (In Opera) Preferences -> Fonts -> Interface Menu Fonts
2. I think I understand the question, and i'm not sure how to do it.
3. That already works fine for me in Ubuntu

Well, I'm using the newest test release (number 2) for pclinuxos and its even better than the first one. The ipw3945 drivers are included which makes it much easier to configure my wireless setup. One gripe, I'm running beryl right now, but oddly, the title bars of every windows goes away (ex. where it says Opera - Notebookforums or OpenOffice - Writer)
Obviously, I can't drag and drop windows with beryl activated... anyone got a solution?

Try this:
In Section "Screen" in your etc/X11/xorg.conf add this:
Option "AddARGBGLXVisuals" "True"

Ah, thanks, I completely forgot to do that .... But now it works!

beryl is freaking cool... although ill probably get tired of it within a week or two

as to #2. What mouse are you using? You'll probably need to adjust your xorg.conf for the specific mouse, number of buttons etc.

I have one mouse connected through usb, and the touchpad works perfectly.

Also, how do I get the xbox360 controller to work through usb? I go to the pclinuxos control center, but it can't detect it... Does the linux kernel support this pad?

I would say if it works it will read as a joystick. Unfortunately I have no experience setting up Joysticks in Linux, so I can't help you much there.

hmm...i wonder if the pclinuxos kernel has joystick support. i guess its something to ask texstar on the pclos forums. i only had to setup my Logitec Wingman on Ubuntu a while back and that worked pretty good.
