Web Design Needed
by G Lawson 24 Mar '06

24 Mar '06

Rolling Hills Consolidated Library is looking for a professional web designer to redo our website. The site is currently written in simple HTML, and is a collection of hand coding and NVU/Mozilla composer created pages. We want to have the coding updated to reflect current best practices, including CSS, and have some code cleaning done. We will also be adding a few pages and looking for creative redesign of some pages, including our "teen" and "children's" pages. We might have some simple java/javascript or flash done, but nothing extensive. An absolute requirement will be that the site is OS and browser agnostic, ie, Linux/Unix/Apple (and all the others) friendly. We expect frequent communication and perhaps even an occasional in-person meeting, so our preference would be a company in the KC/St. Joseph area. I would appreciate any references or suggestions. http://rollinghills.lib.mo.us Thanks! Greg Greg Lawson Network Administrator Rolling Hills Consolidated Library 1912 N. Belt Highway St. Joseph, MO 64506 816-232-5479 x2303 glawson att rollinghills.lib.mo.us

RE: X Windows Question

I saw a TV card in CompUSA last night that output 1080i, but it was a cheapy card. Non Hauppage. You MAY need something like this to fully utilize your HDTV. But I could be wrong. >-----Original Message----- >From: On Behalf Of Luke-Jr >Sent: Friday, March 24, 2006 2:26 PM > >On Thursday 23 March 2006 17:58, leland sindt wrote: >> "The DVI/HDCP input is designed for best performance with 1080i >> high-definition video signals.

RE: X with touchscreen monitors
by Daniel Siemens 24 Mar '06

The problem is not making it work with the X drivers on the system, it's making it into a product that you can deploy to an end user. This means a friendly calibration utility and configuration options tools. The free stuff from elotouch.com, the linux_public.zip file is woefully incomplete. I see you don't like 3M. Make a request for their source code, you will have to sign an NDA but with source they work pretty well. ________________________________ From: kclug-bounces(a)kclug.org [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of John Sent: Thursday, March 23, 2006 1:21 PM To: kclug(a)kclug.org Subject: Re: X with touchscreen monitors I have worked with the Elo drivers before. These days (considering you have a newer Elo touch) you use the drivers in X. You can find how to setup the drivers at: http://www.elotouch.com/support/linux.asp The newer versions of X (4.x.x) include some Elo drivers that should work. That is what Elo suggests using. Just look for the input driver as instructed and see if it works. Otherwise, I would look up the particular model of Elo and try googling for it from there. I'm glad you asked about Elo's instead of 3M touchscreens so I could keep my email message at a PG rating ;) -John Frakes unixengineer(a)earthlink.net -----Original Message----- From: Daniel Siemens Sent: Mar 23, 2006 12:28 PM To: kclug(a)kclug.org Subject: X with touchscreen monitors Does anyone have elo graphics touch screens drivers and touch screen calibration utility for 2.6 kernels. In particular CentOS 4.3, the comparable to RHEL 4, updates 3. I can make the touch screen work with the elographics X drivers but the right way is to use the package from elo which I have been unable to get from them. It's a kernel level driver and calibration tool. The package would likely be called elotouch-1.1somthiing.rpm based on the little that I know.

There is a HOW-To here: http://gentoo-wiki.com/HOWTO_Xorg_HDTV But, it appears they are having problems. You can view the Google of this page cache here: http://72.14.203.104/search?q=cache:JhTBaxwOTN8J:gentoo-wiki.com/HOWTO_Xorg…

Well, have you tried (while connected to your HDTV: ~ # Xorg -configure ~ # X -config /root/xorg.conf.new If it works, copy the settings from the new xorg.conf to your current one. If your running Knoppix or Gentoo, you can always install ddcxinfo-knoppix to find out the HorizSync and VertRefresh. The sources may be available on the Knoppix site, but I run Gentoo so I can just: # emerge ddcxinfo-knoppix

7z compression
by Curt 22 Mar '06

22 Mar '06

Just downloaded a Gentoo based livecd that has XGL running on both gnome and kde.... Unfortunately, I can't seem to extract the iso image with either Ark, File Roller or Karchiver. I installed p7zip and using command line 7za I keep getting unsupported file type errors. I am unfamiliar with 7za and p7zip... Can someone offer info on how to extract this file? file name=RR64-Linux-3.0b1.iso.7z Thanks

Local prices regarding Cat5 runs
by David Ambs 22 Mar '06

22 Mar '06

How are local companies currently charging for running/terminating Cat5 cables? Is it on average a set price per drop/distance, or an hourly rate? What about customized work, such as any major fishing or such, any extra? I'm assuming materials are never included? Thanks -dave
