J'veux un clavier - hehe2

hehe2 — Thu, 23 Aug 2007 12:46:50 +0200

Ah ... le bon vieux kt2001 et son successeur le kt2001-pro qwerty 105 touches ...

Ils me manquent tellement

J'ai réussi à trouver des keytronics chez hooleon (site américain permettant de customiser ses claviers à la commande), j'ai pris 4 keytronics pour avoir le stock (j'en ai crâmé 5 en 7 ans ... avec à chaque fois un verre d'eau malencontreusement renversé

Je me suis pris :

- la version dvorak (pensant que j'allais épater mes potes =))

- la version avec les couleurs pour les doigts (arc-en-ciel, c'est jouli)

- la version qwerty (bah ouai, classique)

- une version azerty mais ce n'est pas le layout du kt2001 pro

Par malchance, je n'avais pas remarqué que tous étaient des claviers 104 touches (et non pas 105) ce qui est vraiment énervant lorsque l'on utilise linux ...

La touche manquante est le < situé en bas à gauche à la droite de la touche "MAJ", qui est plus large sur un 104 touches ...

Inutilisable en azerty donc ...

Je referai une commande en spécifiant que je désire le layout 105 touches, on ne sait jamais ...

Pour le moment j'utilise un saitek gaming keyboard dont je ne suis pas franchement satisfait :

- le toucher est mou
- le "keypad" additionnel ne fonctionne pas sous linux (enfin, il serait reconnu comme un périphérique HID standard m'a-t-on dit ... soit, mais comment le mapper ou l'utiliser pour y placer des macros ? Je n'ai pas l'envie de me lancer dans le dev d'une telle appli ... je considère que c'est du ressort des constructeurs ... enfin bref ...)

+ les touches sont rétroéclairées (mais ne sont pas transparentes, ce qui laisse une fausse impression qu'on y voit mieux dans le noir, étant donné que la lumière passe sur les cotés des touches seulement, et que du coup on n'en voit pas le dessus =) (je m'en cogne je tappe sans regarder :P)
Du coup, ça en jette quand même un peu =)

Prochain clavier à priori un razer tarantula mais leur layout est en 104 touches donc je leur ai envoyé un msg pour savoir s'ils projettent d'en sortir une version azerty / 105 touches ... rien n'est moins sûr.

Le top serait un kt2001-pro étanche qui aurait la réactivité du tarantula à 1KHz quoi ... c'est beau de rêver !

Keyboardement,

hehe2

I had a keyboard exactly like this and my "N" key broke after 6 months of usage. I will never buy desktop keyboards with laptop keys ever again.

I really hope your keyboard will last though.

Hi,

Thanks for your detailed explanations!

It is a really strange feeling...

Cheers, Julien

Hello Julien !

You're right, lm means 'long mode', so you're machine is an amd64 too! Welcome to my life!

IA64 are Itanium processors, not Pentium, and are real 64 bits processor AFAIK.

If you have 'lm' flag, it means that you have support fort 64 bits instructions, like AMD processors have.

"amd64" arch is the name of the arch, but it also support em64t processor like we have. Take a look on: http://www.debian.org/ports/amd64/

I am not sure which improvement it can gives to you on a desktop machine, especially that you may have problem with something like proprietary Flash player (it does not exists for other arch than i386). Anyway such limitation can be bypassed by using a i386 chroot (32 bit code (i386) is executable with amd64 architecture).

If you want to know why it's better take a look : http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/X86-64 or http://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/AMD64 (french)

Cheers.

Hi,

Just wondering how what you think is a Pentium 4 can be and amd64? I have just checked my cpuinfo and discovered the same thing on my main machine!

lm means "long mode", ie. 64 bits instructions support, am I right? But how do you know it is amd64 (which I would have considered to be only for AMD processors), and not IA64?

I think I have understood that amd64 is also for EM64T processors. EM64T processors are the newer 64bits architecture from Intel, thus I can guess that any recent processor is amd64 and not EM64T...

I am quite lost with that.

What are the improvements in such cases? Do you think it is really worth "reinstalling" a desktop machine?

Cheers, Julien

How do you get the temperature of your CPU? I did not find it in my X40 /proc.

Eulex — Sat, 19 Aug 2006 23:42:52 +0000

Wow, 91C is pretty high. Afaik the Pentium M's are made to be able to work correctly at up to 90C. My Dell Inspiron has never got above 61C, btw, and that was in very special conditions: fucking hot weather (40C) and me making it always run at 100% cpu usage to see how hot it would get.

Thinkpad rocks - Brice Goglin

Brice Goglin — Sat, 19 Aug 2006 23:06:49 +0000

I reached the critical temperature (99°C) twice on my T43 recently. At least, I am glad to know that the machine safely shuts down almost immediately (thanks to acpid).

Now, I usually switch to the powersave cpufreq governor instead of ondemand when the CPU stays near 100% for a long time, it makes the temperature lower than 60°C.

Joachim Breitner — Sat, 19 Aug 2006 23:00:07 +0000

Good to hear I'm not the only one getting such high tempratures on his Thinkpad... I got used to it, in if I worry too much, I do a quick echo 1400000 > /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cpufreq/scaling_max_freq: That allows the fan to keep up.

If you have friends who destroy good coke and whisky with each other, you should replace them too.

(Yeah, and the model M is a godsend. Indestructible.)

Laptop and roaming - Josh Triplett

Josh Triplett — Thu, 24 Jun 2004 17:45:36 +0000

Personally, I use waproamd and ifplugd, to manage the wireless and wired interfaces respectively. With that, the wireless interface automatically finds a usable network (using a WEP key if I've configured one) and the wired interface comes up as soon as I plug in the cable. In my case, all of my networks use DHCP, so I don't need anything more than that. If you do need different configurations for different networks, use ifupdown-roam, available at panopticon.csustan.edu/th... .

I looked at that recently, the mos usefull configuration in debian is ifupdown + ifplugd + resolvconf + ifuproam

ifuproam can be found at panopticon.csustan.edu/th... and is created specificaly for debian

Wouter Verhelst — Wed, 23 Jun 2004 09:40:47 +0000

I don't do roaming; I hardly ever use my laptop on networks where I can't change firewall configurations. Thus, what I do is make sure the network fits right in, rather than try to change the laptop. That's easy:

* I hijack SMTP connections on smarthosts, so that the laptop can think it connects to remote hosts, although it really connects to the local smarthost, whichever that one is.
* Same goes for transparent proxies, where proxies are required.
* Stuff that cannot go to random servers (NNTP, IMAP) is done through some SSH tunnels which I configured in ~/.ssh/config; my mailclient and leafnode setup think their "servers" are localhost:1143 and localhost:1119, respectively.

Laptop and roaming - Ross

Ross — Tue, 22 Jun 2004 20:54:27 +0000

hotplug + ifplugd + guessnet + resolvconf + masqmail gives me automatic interfaces and correct SMTP routing wherever I am, whenever I insert my wifi card or plug in an ethernet cable.

It even uses /etc/network/interfaces as the configuration file, so everything is transparent.
