UDMA mode for my IDE devices wasn't used by default. I made a link from /etc/rc2.d/S98enable-dma to a script containing the following:
#!/bin/bash /sbin/hdparm -d1 /dev/hda /sbin/hdparm -d1 /dev/hdb /sbin/hdparm -d1 /dev/hdc /sbin/hdparm -d1 /dev/hdd exit 0
If you don't have four IDE devices delete the apropriate lines. To check the state of your IDE devices use: /sbin/hdparm -d /dev/hdX.
Normally it is not possible to start a graphical application from a su-ed terminal. In SuSE Linux exists the 'sux' script to handle this. My Debian solution is:
export XAUTHORITY=~/.Xauthority;su -c xterm
I defined an alias in my ~/.bashrc file:
alias sux='export XAUTHORITY=~/.Xauthority;su -c xterm'
Add the following line to ~/.emacs:
(mwheel-install)
The lines in my /etc/fstab look like this:
/dev/hda5 /mnt/data vfat rw,auto,user,umask=0,quiet,iocharset=iso8859-15,code=437 0 0
Just add the following lines to /etc/kde3/kdm/Xservers. Then you will have a new menu item in KDE above 'lock screen'.
