If you use an Nvidia driver, adding the the following option to the shown section below will make 96 dpi permanent:

Section "Device"
    Identifier     "Device0"
    Driver         "nvidia"
    VendorName     "NVIDIA Corporation"
    BoardName      "Quadro FX 770M"
    Option         "DPI" "96 x 96"
EndSection

I use Kazehakase on my Eee PC. It is fairly small/lightweight and I really quite like it. I found it a bit quirky to begin with, but there is no doubt that it performs better than Firefox on my Eee. It can be installed via the repositories:

sudo apt-get install kazehakase

Thanks  Corenominal....that's not bad!

I'm certain that it's somewhere here on the forums, but no matter. And all I have to do is manually start wicd-client after installing wicd and then I get the icon in my tray regardless of whether you add it to autostart.sh or not. Doesn't need to be added.

OK  thanks....same with Slackware, but with OpenBox I didn't try it any other way...

Just as an afterthought (& for anyone else that may come across this problem) in most Ubuntu based systems you can just install ntfs-config, 

sudo apt-get ntfs-config

  -  run ntfs-config either directly from cli or add to the openbox menu and run from the dropdown, and it'll set up your ntfs-3g settings for both internal & external drives.

I've used it on many Ubuntu based systems (Including both 64 & 32 bit #! that i'm running here) ....  works great.  smile

yes, that works great also....will also set an external drive for you

I got tired of the default network manager lagging on me, etc so I installed Wicd from the repo....it will remove nm automatically.

edit autostart.sh and replace "nm-applet" with "wicd-py" so the wicd applet will show up in your tray at boot up.

I searched and didn't see anything on this so thought I should add to the database.

EDIT:  forgot, works much better!  (usually does IM experience yikes )

Xfe FM mounts VistaOS no problem for me....I'm still checking things with OB.....

the standard fstab entry to automount NTFS partition did the trick

For the clock format, you could use: %D %r

I use ntfs-config from the repos....it will add an fstab entry for you to automount your ntfs partitions.  It's a gui utilty

They work in Mint 6 OTB, so since we're still in Ubuntu basically, what can I install to get my keyboard layout...for instance I have separate volume buttons that do work in Mint so I'm guessing there's something in the repos?  I like #!, but want my key layout !  thanks!!  big_smile
