ACDSee visible bottom-right thin strip issue

2009-04-10T22:42:00.000-07:00

http://community.acdsee.com/forums/topic/full-screen-in-vista/page/3

There's a very simple solution that should work in all versions of ACDSee. I've even tried it on ACDSee 5,01 and works fine ...

First you have to go to "ACDSee" main directory (Usually C:\Program Files\ACD Systems\ACDSee). Right click the ACDSee.exe file.

You should select "Compatibility" tab and mark "Disable desktop composition". Apply changes, OK. Done ...

Now, when you open ACDSee or an associated file, the screen goes black for miliseconds (Aero is beeing disabled), ACDSee starts and works like on XP. When you turn ACDsee off, Aero starts (the screen goes black for miliseconds again).

You don't have to switch between resolution modes, you don't have to turn Aero off manually, everything works automaticaly.

If it works for you - just write here please a version of ACDSee you're using.

Regards,

Wojtek

GO perl-api pre-2005 problem

2008-03-03T12:14:00.000-08:00

most GO databases pre-2005 have different structures compared to later versions.

unknown - 03/2003:
no ncbi_taxa_id reading ability. (the data is there but the reading is too tricky - dropped)
solution: use database on/after 04/2003; API 04/2003.

04/2003 - somewhere before 01/2005:
some small compatibility issues with API ver. 2005.
solution: use API ver 200401.

02/2005 - now: no problem so far with API ver. 2005.

My guess is that you need a new config.guess and config.sub. Get the
latest from:

Origin Pro 7.5的一些问题

2007-10-02T13:37:00.000-07:00

1、升级：7.5 -> SR2 -> SR5. (需要ok70.dll破解):

ORIGIN 7.5 SR0的用户可以先到http://www.originlab.com/index.aspx?s=9&lm=184下载SR2和SR5的升级程序，并将其copy到origin的安装目录下的Updates文件夹中。先安装2，再安装5，然后拷贝破解的ok70.dll文件到安装的根目录下覆盖原文件即可。
破解的ok70.dll文件请登陆www.yahoo.com.cn邮箱下载，邮箱名为iamkunziter，密码123456。

2、Origin Pro 7.5的Plot Setup对话框不能打开(无反应)：

How to get it to work in Linux

As a USB HID device, it already works in Linux; however, to get the full use out of the mouse (such as being able to use the tilt function correctly) edit your/etc/X11/xorg.conf’s InputDevice section for your mouse to say:

Section "InputDevice" Identifier "Configured Mouse" Driver "evdev" Option "CorePointer" Option "Name" "Logitech USB Gaming Mouse" Option "ZAxisMapping" "4 5 6 7" Option "Emulate3Buttons" "false" EndSection

… which should allow you to use the fourth/thumb button, and the tilt function correctly. Buttons one through three and the wheel already corectly work without this. Also, on Ubuntu, make sure xserver-xorg-input-evdev is installed, as it is not installed by default.

Also, in some versions of X, tilt left and tilt right may be backwards. To fix this, create a file called ~/.Xmodmap and put in it:

pointer = 1 2 3 4 5 7 6 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20

and run xmodmap ~/.Xmodmap to update your map. On logging in again, Gnome will ask if you want to load this file: click on the file, click “Load”, and click “Ok”.

to map the fourth/thumb button as middle button:

Patrick McFarland, on November 6th, 2006 at 8:57 pm, said:

Well, technically it is up to your applications to make use of the thumb button.

Currently, I remapped it to be a middle button (which has the unfortunate side-effect of not letting the middle button stay the middle button, but hey)

In the above .Xmodmap, change 2 to 8, and 8 to 2. That will make your thumb button be a middle mouse button.

[this might not need the editing of /etc/X11/Xorg.conf. xmodmap should be able to handle it alone.]

Otherwise, if you don’t want to do that, just map your thumb button to something useful in the programs you use. Programs often don’t have any defaults for that button.

fedora core 6 双拼问题之解决

2006-12-03T15:16:00.000-08:00

the original scim-pinyin package does not support shuangpin
get source code from sourceforge:

http://prdownloads.sourceforge.net/scim/scim-pinyin-0.5.91.tar.gz?download

use tar to extract,
then go to src dir.

grep shuang_pin *.cpp
and change the line (from file scim_pinyin_imengine.cpp)
159 m_shuang_pin (false),
to
159 m_shuang_pin (true),
then:

yum install qt-devel
yum install scim-devel

./configure
make
make install

logout and relogin
enjoy!

ATI driver / direct rending no problem

2006-12-03T13:59:00.000-08:00

DO NOT USE livna ATI driver for fedora core 6
for it does not support AIGLX

just download official driver from ati.amd.com and install.
need latest kernel & kernel-devel

btw, the system display control will fail when using the ATI official driver but it's not a big deal.

zz[how to speed up fedora core]

2006-12-03T13:57:00.000-08:00

Fedora Core 2 has some default settings that can slow the PC down. It's easy to change them though.

The first one is a well-known problem where IPv6 is enabled by default, and unless you're using IPv6 (99.99% of people aren't), then it slows down the response time for Internet activites (web browsing, e-mail, etc.). To fix that, add the following line in /etc/modprobe.conf:

alias net-pf-10 off

The other thing that can slow down a PC is some scripts that are run by default every day. They include things like updating rpm info, updating slocate database, etc. These scripts are useful, but they are CPU and HD intensive. And if you're like me, and turn off your PC until you're ready to use it, these scripts run when you turn the PC on, and the system will always seem sluggish. It's easy to change this. What I would suggest is not to delete these scripts, but to have them only run once a month (which is probably ok for most people). The way it works is that any script in the /etc/cron.daily directory gets run every day. If you move some of them to the /etc/cron.monthly directory, they'll only get run every month. The files I would recommend moving are:

makewhatis.cron
prelink
rpm
slocate.cron
yum.cron

also, use system-config-service or command line to disable yum-updatesd (which also cause problem when starting yum righ after system startup - existance of yum.pid)
su -
/sbin/chkconfig --level 345 yum-updatesd off

/sbin/service yum-updatesd

quick & easy way to disable the goddamned PC speaker beeps

2006-12-02T22:44:00.000-08:00

Edit /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist and add :
blacklist pcspkr

That's it. If you want to disable it right now (the above line will prevent the kernel to load the module on each startup), simply type :

/sbin/modprobe -r pcspkr

If the /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist doesn't exist on your distro, the /etc/modprobe.conf file will work too.

go-perl & go-dev

2006-11-04T17:48:00.000-08:00

for go-perl:

cpan: install GO::Parser

for go-dev:

download from go-dev site

install all prerequisites.
DBIx::DBStag may need manual installation. (sql test server problem)

DO NOT bother with cpan on LARGE packages! (e.g., bioperl, etc) (slow & crappy indeed)
just download the tar package & perl Makefile.PL -prefix=~/perl, make, make install

perl install, cpan stuffs

2006-11-04T09:24:00.000-08:00

~/.bash_profile:
export PERL5LIB=~/perl/lib64/perl5/site_perl/:~/perl/lib/perl5/site_perl/

manually:
perl Makefile.PL prefix=~/perl
make
make test
make install

cpan:
have to upate cpan first in order to solve the "failed test" problem.
follow the instructions by cpan to update itself (~10-20 min)

thinkpad repair

2006-10-11T09:32:00.000-07:00

thinkpad本本恢复系统的几个tricks

下面情况特指IBM ThinkPad R51/T42/X40/T43等笔记本电脑

1) C drive必须大于6GB

2) 很多人通过如PatitionMagic软件来进行分区的时候，分区后会出现无法启用恢复程序。

解决方法：
若能进WINXP系统，则进入XP若“安全模式”或“带命令提示符的安全模式”，

运行以下命令“CMD”，“CD IBMTOOLS”，

"CD UTILS"

“bmgr32.exe /fc:bootmgr.bin /M2 /IBM”。重启系统即可。

若不能引导，则只有重装一个临时操作系统来运行上述命令

3)注: ibm 恢复程序是通过修改硬盘第一分区的引导程序来转换映射进而引导位于硬盘最后的隐藏区。原因是由于硬盘主引导纪录(MBR)的结构，目前尚不能引导位于1024柱面（约8.4GB)以后的程序。因此，若硬盘第一分区损坏，将不能恢复。要恢复必须在硬盘第一分区重新安装xp或类似的win32操作系统。

4) 有时PQMagic分区的时候会意外修改C drive下面的boot.ini。结果导致启动后显示

NTOSKNRL.EXE is missing.

这时可将硬盘拆下装到USB盒内，然后用另一台机器修改boot.ini。（需重新计算引导分区的序号）

5) 结论，双系统最好装在两个HDD上，这样比较可靠。造成以上麻烦的最终原因是

DOS/NT/2K/XP系统的MBR不能引导位于1024柱面（约8.4GB)以后的分区，这个MBR写了也有20年，microsoft做OS的那群人至今没去改他的结构，而IBM竟然想出借助第一分区这种临时搭桥的办法，简直太ws了。

问题2：双系统装完后，若linux被删除，则winxp也无法启动。

修复：XP安装盘启动，rescue模式，用FIXMBR.
