Anyone have an idea how to get this to work with for example moving the mouse cursor to the upper left corner? _________________ Magnus frater spectat te! |

Hack the sources or ask the author to implement it |

does anybody know if it's possible to bind a combination of two keys? eg. ctrl+tab (as asked above)? |

I'm using kde 3.2.0 and I got this 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)

You're trying to use a key shortcut already used by kde. _________________ Be good and if you can't be good, be careful. |

Thanks a lot, sorry for the stupid question
I've tried to find who locks "F12" key without success... how can I do to use it?
Also another question: how can I bind the combinations of two keys?
Using xev, pressing left-shift and tab together I got this:
Code: |
KeyPress event, serial 30, synthetic NO, window 0x4000001,
root 0x48, subw 0x0, time 6198462, (367,-47), root:(508,0),
state 0x1, keycode 23 (keysym 0xfe20, ISO_Left_Tab), same_screen YES,
XLookupString gives 0 bytes:
XmbLookupString gives 0 bytes:
XFilterEvent returns: False
|
So in ~/.skippyrc tried to use:
Code: | [general]
keysym = ISO_Left_Tab
|
but I got this error:
Code: |
FATAL: Couldn't look up keysym for 'ISO_Left_Tab ', bailing out.

|
|
I have odd behavior with Skippy. I have used it both via RPM in SuSE as well as ebuild in Gentoo. Both cases with KDE 3.2.x
The behavior I get is the previews it shows are not full windows, it looks as though it divides the current desktop look into a grid, shrinks them and then displays them. Is it because not all my windows are maximized ? Komposé doesn't exhibit this behavior but seems to slow compaired to skippy.
Basically in the little previews I will see part of one application with another overlapping it, neither of which is whole.
Any help would be appreciated, I have used it with xfree/xorg always with 3d hardware acceleration etc...
Cheers,
TightCode |

Same problem here with v0.5... Maximizing all windows doesn't make a difference (try it out). It only seems to take one screenshot and then cut it into parts, where the actual windows are. This doesn't work very well.

Komposé ( http://developer.berlios.de/projects/kompose/ ) works nicer, but is a lot slower as well... I just have the feeling that these screenshot-thingies simply aren't fast enough if you have many windows, and also result in other problems (window redrawing and such). I guess we just need more features in X(org) or just a new kind of x server. |

Is there a way to get skippy to display the minimized apps on my desktop rather than taking me off screen? Like FVWM? |

i tried skippy-xd last night and it just crashed out everything. (All my windows were still running but i couldnt get any of my windows to be visible)
Using openbox though, and xdamage, xcompose etc dont work so well with ob3.. it works better with gnome so maybe i'll try that out. _________________ if at first you dont succeed, Skydiving is not for you.

I'm trying the regular skippy on my gnome desktop, and it doesn't work at all.
Code: | timmfin % skippy
FATAL: WM not NETWM or GNOME WM Spec compliant.

I'm using metacity (version 2.8.4), so I'm not sure why this is happening. |

Posted: Thu Oct 14, 2004 10:46 am Post subject: Live window snapshot updating |
|
|
According to the skippy website:
Quote: | Skippy-XD is a version of Skippy that uses the new XDamage, XComposite and XFixes extensions (found in FreeDesktop.org's Xserver project) to provide you with 'live' versions of the windows. Exciting, isn't it?
|
skippy-xd is available here:
http://thegraveyard.org/files/skippy-xd-0.5.0.tar.bz2
Therefore, we should try getting an ebuild for skippy-xd, as it promises live snapshot updates.
Any volunteers for creating an ebuild? |

Or try this. Apparently works if you're running xorg-x11 6.8 (which I just updated to). I think I'll go try skippy-xd now =) |

I know i'm coming to this thread a bit late but...
According to the site, skippy grabs the images by raising the windows, so if there's something on a higher layer than that window, then it will show on the thumbnail. I don't know how you could get round this, seeing as i'm a n00b, but maybe someone knows?
Has anyone managed to get this to work across several desktops yet? (virtual, not multi-head)
Thanks

Did you build this from the bz2 on TheGraveyard or does an ebuild exist somewhere?
I'm running skippy (no special suffix) with plain old gnome and it works moderately well. Having next to no video memory on my old laptop makes the sequential window-raising process kinda tiresome. _________________ ------------------------------------------------------

I found a good ebuild for skippy-xd at http://home.jesus.ox.ac.uk/~ecatmur/gentoo/trees/capella.catmur.co.uk/x11-misc/skippy-xd/, but when I run it it says Code: | FATAL: XDamage extension not found. |
I just upgraded to xorg-x11-6.8.0, following what a few people said works. Am I missing a use flag or something? I can't help but think I'm actually close... _________________ ------------------------------------------------------

i think you should load the x.org xdamage extention, by putting it in the xorg.conf file ! |

But of course!
I put the Xdamage module in the xorg.conf file, but of course it now crashes on the XComposite module.
The weird thing is I can tell it to load XComposite via the xorg.conf file, but it still gives the same message. I looked in /usr/X11R6/lib/ and there is everything that it seems to need (libXcomposite.a, .so, etc), yet the module never loads.
Quite puzzled, I am.
Also, out of curiousity, is the module loading mechanism for Xorg case sensitive? So far it does not seem to matter.
Another strange little bit. Since I started loading these modules, the framebuffer on my basic terminals sometimes turns strange colors and patterns, and doesn't change with any typing that I do. Specifially, during the shutdown process all it shows is vertical green and black stripes. More strangeness that I hope can be figured out by the greater wisdom the Forums. _________________ ------------------------------------------------------

I had a similar message, because I didn't have a .skippyrc file.
Even if you have one, try to change the line
to
Code: |
keysym = Scroll_Lock
|
Perhaps this could be the reason... |
