[ltp] Kubuntu and KMilo

[Jens Mayer]

Dear all,

being a long-time Gentoo user, I gave Kubuntu 6.10 on my Thinkpad T41p a try, 
and I'm quite impressed - nearly everything worked out of the box (including 
supend and hibernate and experimental DRI with the r300 driver). All I had to 
do was to add a line to Xorg's configuraton file to get Trackpoint scrolling 
and install wpa_supplicant for my very own security. ;-)

A few questions remain:

-> CPU-Fan: Using Gentoo, the Fan only turned on a few times when not doing 
anything, now it's running most of the times. I have ibm_acpi loaded 
(v0.12a), Dynamic Clock in Xorg and 'powernowd' installed, so the CPU is 
mostly on 600MHz. Where's the difference I'm looking for? Any ideas?

-> KMilo / OSD: Using Gentoo, I installed and configured 'tpb' and 'xosd' to 
get an "On Screen Display" for Volume, Brightness and Thinklight actions. 
While Kubuntu's Kmilo looks better than plain old 'xosd', it just displays 
Volume changes - the other buttons work, but are not included. I did not find 
out how to configure KMilo yet, since it hasn't an entry in KDE's control 
center, either. So: Any Kubuntu user's here? ;-)

Kind regards,
Jens
