Even if you have one, try to change the line
to
Code: |
keysym = Scroll_Lock
|
Perhaps this could be the reason... |
Thanks, but that is for the 'attempt to access private resource denied' error:
Code: | micron@melindo micron $ skippy
X Error of failed request: BadAccess (attempt to access private resource denied)
Major opcode of failed request: 33 (X_GrabKey)
Serial number of failed request: 90
Current serial number in output stream: 9 |
That happens when you use a hotkey that is already binded to another shortcut. It not our case.

hi,
thanx for your nice expose like software skippy. i am using it in kde 3.2.x and there is a "problem" if "focus stealing prevention..." is enabled. (kcontrol -> desktop -> windows behavior).
- the screenshots from windows in the background are not take right because ?kicker? prevents skippy from rasing them
- if i click on a window in "expose view" is does not raise. same reason i guess.
but if "focus stealing prevention" if off, everything works perfectly.
thanx
heiko

i've send this mail to the skippy developer.
maybe someone has same effects...
regards

well it doesnt quite work all that well, i was able skippy-xd-0.50-r1 to run, you need to put this in your .skippy-xd.rc file
Code: |
[general]
keysym = Scroll_Lock
|
its rather slow, and does not bring the focus to the window that you selected. unless i am missing something this is just a toy and not really a working expose feature |

a little disappointing.
First, in your .skippyrc file:
keysym=Scroll_Lock
cannot have any spaces around the equal sign.
Second, with fluxbox I got some black
thumbnails amongst the other good ones.
Clicking on a black thumbnail crashes skippy.
third, clicking on a thumbnail of a window did
not bring that window to the top of the pile.

This is just a summary of scattered info from this thread so it's in one place.
Here's how I got skippy-xd running on kde3.3.2/xorg 6.8.2 with the nvidia binary drivers:
* Get Ebuild
from https://bugs.gentoo.org/attachment.cgi?id=42125&action=view and put it in your portage overlay. Alternatively install from tarball.
* Enable Composite Extension
in xorg.conf add a section:
Code: |
Section "Extensions"
Option "Composite" "Enable"
EndSection
|
* Make Nvidia Driver work (better) with Composite Extension
add this to the device section describing your nvidia card:
Code: |
Option "RenderAccel" "true"
Option "AllowGLXWithComposite" "1"
|
* Make skippy work with KDE
now copy the rc file from the archive:
Code: |
cd ~/tmp
tar -xjvf /usr/portage/distfiles/skippy-xd-0.5.0.tar.bz2
cp skippy-xd-0.5.0/skippy-xd.rc-default ~/.skippy-xd.rc
|
...and edit the rc file with your favorite editor. change the following line:
Code: |
keysym = Scroll_Lock
|
Now make sure in kcontrol the option "focus stealing prevention..." is disabled. (kcontrol -> desktop -> windows behavior -> last tab -> lowest drop-down).
Now you should have skippy-xd running functionally. It seems quite slow, though (4 secs from keypress to task overview) and i seem to have some issues with the xorg extensions (redrawing sometimes skips parts of windows). Please share your experiences. |

How come I didn't know about this thing????? It's amazing!! And I thought expocity was the only way @_@
edit: Ahem no, it's not amazing. Click on a window, you get another one :/ _________________ It isn't enough to win - everyone else must lose, and you also have to rub it in their face (maybe chop off an arm too for good measure).

Hi
Just wanted to update that I have got skippy working successfully on fluxbox 0.9.9.
I emerged skippy and then....
1.
I had to edit my xorg.conf file and the line
Option "Composite" "Enable"
in the Section "ServerFlags"
2.
I had to edit my .skippyrc file which to change the
line from
keysym=F11
to
keysym=Scroll_Lock
Note: There is no space between the = sign
[/i] |

Anyone to make a simple patch, and to edit the ebuild to make it ~amd64 ?
The more I use gentoo, the more I am on amd64, the more it looks like I need to do all that stuff by myself. Soon... |

Oh, this is pretty nice. Maybe I'll get to see what all the fuss is about with expose....
Quick question - under XFCE 4.2.2 it doesn't show any apps that I've minised. Is there an option to configure this? |

It works pretty well here with gnome-2.10.0, but sometimes, for instance when calling skippy for the first time while firefox is maximized, the window's content is not correct : they all sho parts of the firefox window... |

I'm trying to use the skippy 0.5.0 from portage with E. After changing keysym to F12 and removing its use with e16keyedit it started ok. After pressing F12 every windows blinked once (taking snapshots as far as I could tell) and then nothing more happened. I found out skippy window selection was below all other windows. So I turned to it and ALL windows I had appeared on it. Those on my current virtual desktop had a snapshot, all others were black. Oh well, I just clicked on one of them and tried again in the same vdesktop. It worked. Showed up right away so it seems it works ok when snapshots are already taken. But even though it works ok, when I call it and click on a window I come back to my desktop but the window I clicked on does now have focus. Probably it is not NETWM compliant? |

Nice app, allthrought it has some glitches and bugs.
The bigest concern I have, is that I have to use one key exclusive for this program. Thats quite expensive. To expensive, if you'll ask me. I have shorcuts for many programs and wm functions on the keybord using CTRL+ALT as prefix. And I USE caps lock so, no not that key. My windows key I use as left AltGr, and too bad somtimes you have no otther choise than using the Menu key (or the mouse).
But still Nice app, hopefully, after some time it will hardend, and become more usable. |
