“I have a slight correction to point out -Z is for auto zoom and -z (lowercase) is for random sorting. Also the word borderless is missing the letter “d”.”

Duly edited and corrected. Thanks for pointing this out.

Thanks for posting this article … I didn’t notice –hide-pointer in the manpage for feh, which is useful for the laptop digital picture frame I’m putting together. I don’t have the -Y option though (feh 1.3.4, but I also plan on moving the project to Debian Squeeze shortly).

I have a slight correction to point out -Z is for auto zoom and -z (lowercase) is for random sorting. Also the word borderless is missing the letter “d”.

Thanks for mentioning fbi on framebuffer - I’m taking a look into it!

Take Care,

Comment on Replacing the Final Stage (Blower) Resistor on a L322 Range Rover (MkIII) 2002 by bimma

@ Kevin

Sounds like a right pita!

You don’t say how old your FFRR is, newer models do have battery drain issues and needed new firmware to tell the car to shut down properly.

What battery are you putting in?

Best suggestion is to point you to fullfatrr.com/forum lots of helpful folks who may have had the same problem and solved it.

I have had a battery drain problem for a while, probably since i bought the vehicle second hand.

I had my local garage try and fix it, the local Land Rover specialist had a go, then i had an ex-Land rover distinguished engineer come and install a relay switch behind the dash. Still no joy.
I replaced the ‘hedgehog’ over xmas using your great instructions here. It was very fiddly, i found using my camera phone to video the area behind the pedals helped a lot, because you do have to rely on touch to replace the part.
But two days later - flat battery again!

It is because my battery may be shot from at least a dozen re-charges and jump starts? - this is my third new battery in 3 years. I have heard some people say that you cant re-charge batteries too often, or jump start them as it damages them.

Comment on Fix the Noisy Fan on an Acer Aspire One by Bimma

For acerhdf you need to do the following three things to make it work:

1. Create /etc/modprobe.d/acerhdf.conf

2. Paste the following into it:
options acerhdf interval=5 fanon=60000 fanoff=55000 kernelmode=1

3. Reboot

Your fan should now be silent (assuming its not really hot!)

Works really well - very useful. Many thanks. Works well with my arch/openbox combo and looks slick once themed.

Off the top of my head, try one of these:

xfce

xfce4

xfce-session

but I think it’s this one:

xfce4-session

The option -Y or –hide-pointer

should hide the pointer in a slideshow
