gnome fade logout + usbkey umount

[Dexter Ang]

hello again people,

i don't know if these two problems are connected, but they happened at
the exact same moment.

anyway, first of all, i have a usb memory key thing (no name brand). i
plug it in and mount it without any problems (/dev/sda1). once i try to
umount it, it keeps on saying device is busy. this happens even if i
don't copy any files to it!

second... after getting frustrated with the above situation, i reboot
just to umount the usbkey. i notice that my gnome setup no longer fades
when i have the logout screen showing. anyway to fix this as well? it's
eye candy, but it makes some people (who haven't seen winxp) go "oooh,
what's that".

thanks

try lsof(8)

lsof /dev/sda1 to see who use the device

hey guys i figured this part out. disable support for assistive 
technologies (the magnifier, speech, on-screen keyboard thing). fade 
is back.

Hi, Dex. Try doing "lsof f /dev/sda1" in a terminal window to see what
is grabbing the device. My bet is on fam.
