Hi Oliver,
If using Firefox 3, go to the View menu, go to Zoom and check the "Zoom text only" option.

Since F9, Images on Firefox Fuzzy
by Oliver Ruebenacker
Dear friends,
Since I upgraded to Fedore 9, all images appear fuzzy on Firefox. I
have a Dell Latitude D820 laptop with a nVidia card and work with a
resolution of 1680x1050. If I save the images and display them outside
Firefox, they all look sharp. This is true for gif, jpg and svg.
Why I think that's a Fedora issue? Well, because under Fedora 8, all
images were sharp in Firefox. Also, system-config-display does not
seem to work. It fails to detect my display or the possible
resolutions, and when I select a resolution, it will ask me to restart
X, and then happily forget anything I entered. I sometimes felt like
asking some one to have a look at the code and confirm that it
actually is written to do anything.
Thanks!
Take care
Oliver

Re: HP dv6700se
by Mustafa Mehmed
Hello Ahmed
You don't give us much information about the hardware on this laptop
(ie. CPU, network, etc), but I have (I think) a similar notebook.
Mine is an HP Pavilion dv6746tx which has an Intel core 2 duo CPU
T5550 @ 1.83 GHz, 2GB RAM, NVidia GeForce 8400M GS video card, Intel
Pro wireless 3945ABG, Realtek RTL8101E PCI Express ethernet, Broadcom
bluetooth, R5C592 sd/sdio/mmc/ms/mspro host adapter, and TSSTcorp
lightscribe CDDVDW- TS-L632N burner.
Everything works well under Fedora 9 basically "straight out of the
box". The webcam, inbuilt microphones and "multifunction keys"work as
well. The only thing I have noticed with Fedora 9 is that the total
battery time does not appear to work (this may be a setup problem on
my side), although on Fedora 8 it worked without any tweaks.
If you are worried about the NVidia graphics, you can go one of two ways :-
1. Either add the rpm.livna.org repo and wait for them to update the
drivers for your kernel, or
2. download the source code from NVidia and compile it yourself
whenever there is a kernel upgrade.(you will need to at least install
the kernel headers and a compiler for this to work)
Hope this helps.

HP dv6700se
by Ahmed Kamal
Hi everyone,
Any experiences with Linux HP dv6700se ? Seems to me like a really solid
laptop, and good value, but linux-laptop.net does not mention it. I wanna be
sure it's fedora compatible ?
What's the current state with nVidia cards under Linux ? Is it a matter of
waiting for a few weeks till their driver catches up with the kernel, or is
their drivers quality getting bad lately ? Should I deliberately avoid
getting this laptop, coz it has a nVidia card ?
Thanks a lot

usando Google-Video for ruby
by albertito
Hi,
I'm trying to develop an application using Google-video (for ruby)
library. I'm using NB 6.1, and ruby 1.8.6 (2008-06-20 patchlevel 230)
[i386-linux] with gem 0.9.4.
The code is the next:
**********
require 'rubygems'
require 'google-video'
require 'pp'
# create a client with which to submit requests
client = GoogleVideo::Client.new
#~ # look up a list of the top 100 videos
request = GoogleVideo::TopVideosRequest.new
response = client.top_videos request
print "Top 5 Videos:\n"
response.videos[0...5].each { |video| pp(video) }
print "end!!"
*************
But I have a problem :(. The sentence "request =
GoogleVideo::TopVideosRequest.new" return NIL. I have looked at the
documentation and the examples, and it should be return a list of items.
any suggestion?
thanks! ;)
