Ramaley) Date: Mon Sep 21 16:29:39 2009 Subject: [As-users] EdgeScroll configuration question Message-ID: <200909211629.16409.daniel.ramaley@drake.edu> I recently upgraded from Debian Stable to Testing. With it came AfterStep 2.2.9. One behavior from the previous versions that i don't have configured the way i'd like is where the mouse pointer moves after scrolling by 1 screen. I have "EdgeScroll 100 100" in my feel file. In previous versions, when scrolling by pushing the mouse against the edge, as the screen scrolled the pointer would only move a little bit on the desktop. On the physical monitor it would appear to jump from one side of the screen to the other since the desktop had moved. I want that behavior restored. What happens now is that when the screen scrolls, the mouse remains in the same location on the physical monitor (thus jumping by 1 screen-width on the large virtual desktop). How can i fix this? ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Dan Ramaley Dial Center 118, Drake University Network Programmer/Analyst 2407 Carpenter Ave +1 515 271-4540 Des Moines IA 50311 USA From sasha at aftercode.net Tue Sep 22 10:20:04 2009 From: sasha at aftercode.net (Sasha Vasko) Date: Tue Sep 22 09:20:41 2009 Subject: [As-users] EdgeScroll configuration question In-Reply-To: <200909211629.16409.daniel.ramaley@drake.edu> References: <200909211629.16409.daniel.ramaley@drake.edu> Message-ID: <4AB8EB24.6070702@aftercode.net> Daniel A.

How can i fix this? There are no config setting to re-enable that old behavior. You can try building AfterStep from source, in which case you can go and delete line #188 from file src/afterstep/pager.c Sasha Vasko From daniel.ramaley at drake.edu Tue Sep 29 16:05:35 2009 From: daniel.ramaley at drake.edu (Daniel A.

Now it works! Thank you! Can you please make this an option in the next version? It was extremely frustrating and counter-intuitive to have the pointer warping across the virtual desktop whenever i changed the view port. But removing the 1 line fixed it, so i'm happy again. For now, in Debian i've put a hold on the AfterStep packages i built so they won't be updated to a broken version without my explicit consent. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Dan Ramaley Dial Center 118, Drake University Network Programmer/Analyst 2407 Carpenter Ave +1 515 271-4540 Des Moines IA 50311 USA From sasha at aftercode.net Wed Sep 30 11:14:32 2009 From: sasha at aftercode.net (Sasha Vasko) Date: Wed Sep 30 10:15:26 2009 Subject: [As-users] EdgeScroll configuration question In-Reply-To: <200909291605.35244.daniel.ramaley@drake.edu> References: <200909211629.16409.daniel.ramaley@drake.edu> <4AB8EB24.6070702@aftercode.net> <200909291605.35244.daniel.ramaley@drake.edu> Message-ID: <4AC383E8.7080804@aftercode.net> Daniel A.

So your wish had been granted :) Thanks for your support. Sasha Vasko From daniel.ramaley at drake.edu Wed Sep 30 10:27:57 2009 From: daniel.ramaley at drake.edu (Daniel A.

So your wish had been granted > :) Thank you very much! I'll save this message and will be sure to look for that option in the next release. I've been using AfterStep for about 12 years. It is the only window manager i feel at home in, and i really appreciate how stable and configurable it is. Thank you for all your hard work on AfterStep. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Dan Ramaley Dial Center 118, Drake University Network Programmer/Analyst 2407 Carpenter Ave +1 515 271-4540 Des Moines IA 50311 USA
