hi does anyone know something about how/where the backlight controlled on a pb g4 dvi? the backlight wont come on anymore on an old pb i have. backlight itsself seem to be fine, also the inverterboard seems to work. i've tested this with two and a half other powerbooks i have around for...

thanks for you answers, but i should have been a bit more specific.. sudo -s / sudo bash would be answers, but what i really wanted to know, is if there's ways, perhaps using a script, or twiddling with users/groups etc.. so that a non-root user can run a specific command as root..without the...

hi is it possible, and if yes, how; to run a command that requires root privileges without having to type the password each time? thanks

i just found that this last problem is related to my server-config. since that's a debian machine, and this an osx-forum, i wont bother you anymore.. :) thanks.

ok, great. i start to get it now.. appearantly i was doing things the wrong way around. i have it -sort of- working using the tunneling-command like this: ssh -nNT user@server.org -R 2222:127.0.0.1:3333 when, on the machine creating the tunnel, run netcat -lp 3333 and then from another machine...

DisplayConfigX.app and there's another too, but i forgot. they will give you lots of info..and the power to tweak..

was it burnt to a DVD+R?

hoi! i'm trying to setup a reversed ssh-tunnel from my powerbook to my server, using the following command: ssh -nNT -R 8013:localhost:4321 myserver.org the command executes, prompts for my password, and then waits.. so it seems to be setup..but then when i login on the server, to see...

i've used the tripplehead2go succesfully on a PBG4(alu), G5 (dual 5200fx) and macbook PRO. i did't try-out all resolutions, because i only needed 800x600, so ran on a total resolution of 2400x600. the box supports up to 3 times 1280x1024 and ofcourse the size of the screens is not important...

maybe i don't really get the point here.. as ora pointed-out there IS dual (external) monitor support, even TRIPPLE monitor support. (pic) the only problem with the matrox solution is that it's VGA, not DVI, and that all 3 connected screens have to run the same resolution. but it's a...

you're probably using some kind of older screen connecting throught a VGA connector? otherwise all available options should show.. there are some tools around for modifying the screen-presets beyond what OSX lets you do. one of them is "DisplayConfigX".. the other i forgot... (ps. ..but don't...

i guess it altered some terminal-preference to run a certain script or open a .term file every time you open a new terminal window?

ah.. that's really stupid of me :) ofcourse i'm using curl myself... wow..bummer.. so this 'kind of' works: #!/bin/sh mpg123 -qr 44100 http://207.200.96.231:8014/ & > /dev/null 2>&1 oldrespons="ouwe zooi" while [ 1 ] do respons=$(curl -s http://somafm.com/logs/cliqhop-playing.txt)...

i'm trying to make a script that starts mpg123 with my favorite radiostation, and displays info about the currently playing track. i succeeded so far, except for one problem; i don't manage to make to script silent, and only output the track-info. instead, on each loop, it outputs...

any good software will (should?) retrieve this information from the system itsself, and present you the options.

you don't need to persee replace the keyboard... someone once spilled almost a full beer over my powerbook. i immediately put it upside-down and pulled all plugs and batteries from the machine. then i removed the keyboard, and suspended in a warm water and rinsed/washed it throughly, left it...

hoi! my little used powerbook harddisk just stop working over night. i put my powerbook to sleep, went to sleep myself, and next morning the pb woke-up, but instantly froze. after i restarted the machine, the only sound from the HD was the spinning of the platters, nothing else and the 'no...

i talked a friend of mine who's a proffesional musician into switching to Mac, and he's a very happy man now. he's using logic and ableton live all the time on his macbook.

btw; could it be that i'm only looking at tcp-packets, while the initial client-request uses another protocol? here's a sample from the server-log 22:02:06.562 OSXvnc-server[1901] Client gone 22:02:06.591 OSXvnc-server[1901] Waiting for clients 22:02:06.832 OSXvnc-server[1901] Protocol version...

can you elaborate? the VNCserver is just configured to listen for connections on poort 5900. nothing else. and it requires a password from client to connect. so if no-one/nothing is trying to get 'unauthorized access', what's going on then? is my grandmother trying to phone me?
