 1. '''Default font sizes''': default font size is huge on 147 DPI display
   I have changed proposed solution, based on AchimBohnet hints and recent work done by Kubuntu developers to solve this issue in Dapper. [[BR]]
   '''Breezy''': [[BR]]
   By default, fonts are huge and you should reduce them by 2 or 3 pt (7-9pt is OK). [[BR]]
   '''Dapper''' (as of 2006-02-23 update): [[BR]]
   Default fonts sizes were recently reduced to nice state, therefore out-of-box setup looks great (thanks to _Sime, Tonio...). [[BR]]
   GTK apps (i.e. Firefox) do not respect new font sizes until you do this workaround:
     1. Go to System Settings -> Appereance -> GTK styles and fonts
     1. Select "Use another font: <whatever>"
     1. Click Apply
     1. Select "Use my KDE fonts for GTK applications"
     1. Click Apply
     1. Restart GTK apps - it should respect font size (at least it does for me)		  1. ''CLOSED: Default font sizes: default font size is huge on 147 DPI display - FIXED in Dapper Beta''

     I have submitted bug to bugs.freedesktop.org - see [https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=5893 bug 5893]. Proposed changes were commited to source on 2006-02-22.		  1. ''CLOSED: KsCD: does not play audio CDs - FIXED in Edgy RC''
Line 155: Line 143:
 1. '''KsCD''': does not play audio CDs
     CD/DVD works with Amarok, K3B and similar, but it does not play audio CDs with default player (KsCD). [[BR]]
     '''Workaround:''' Configure KsCD -> CD Player and enable "Use direct digital playback" [[BR]]
     If this does not work, try changing "Select audio backend:" to {{{arts}}} (instead of {{{alsa}}}).		  1. '''fglrx drivers from ATI''': make 3D acceleration support

Line 169: Line 153:
 1. '''Dapper Flight 3/4: monitor layout not autodetected (blank screen after install)'''
    Default X driver ("ati") does not properly enable flat panel (even though that it detects it), this is why you need to manually specify monitor layout in "Device" section of your `/etc/X11/xorg.conf` file:
   {{{
   Option "MonitorLayout" "LVDS,NONE"}}}
   "ati" driver also does not properly detect screen size, therefore causing default 75 DPI to be used (instead of 147 DPI). You need to manually specify screen size in "Monitor" section of your `/etc/X11/xorg.conf` file:
   {{{

    When closing lid, display is blank as it should, but after reopening I just get completely strange resolution as I can only see what is the mouse arrow (which is approximately 3 times the original size and stretched). This is only with "ati" driver, while "fglrx" driver does not have this problem. <<BR>>
    '''Workaround:''' you can get back to normal by switching consoles (Ctrl-Alt-F1, Ctrl-Alt-F7).

 1. '''Edgy Knot1-RC: battery info does not change after hibernate/resume''' - [[https://launchpad.net/bugs/63123|#63123]]
   Hibernate works, but after resume battery information does not get updated anymore. Info is not updated already on kernel level ({{{/proc/acpi/battery/*/*}}}).
   Sometimes it helps if AC adapter is unplugged and plugged.

  2. Special keys: by default wireless and brightness keys work (as they are HW keys). - #46948

    • Other keys, have properly assigned xkeysyms, just that some operations do not work yet (Sleep, Battery, Presentation) as no action is assigned.
