[solved] damn fast cursor (and sometimes small fonts) in gdm and GNOME

Hey there!
Since yesterday's pacman -Syu (unfortunately I can't remember the packages beeing updated ), my cursor moves damn fast, i.e. the cursor is very (very! ) sensitive to mouse movements! I have a Logitech MX Laser, but it's the same with an old mechanical mouse.
My second problem (that came up a long time ago) is that gdm sometimes has a smaller fontsize (i.e. text entered in the login textfield is smaller than usual); and I have to restart X to reset the fontsize, otherwise it will be the same in GNOME. That often occurs after an update on X.
Any hints for me (mainly for the first one, I can live with the second...)? Thank you!

Try appending this resolution line to the mouse section of your /etc/X11/xorg.conf
I think setting a lower value will reduce the sensitivity.
Identifier "Mouse1"
Driver "mouse"
Option "Protocol" "Auto" # Auto detect
Option "Device" "/dev/input/mice"
Option "ZAxisMapping" "4 5 6 7"
Option "Resolution" "128"

I have the exact same problem. Called my operator who told me it was a hardware issue and Apple is working on a fix...

Whenever I try to download an app, it always says "Cannot connect to iTunes Store", even though I am connected to wifi three bars. And sometimes it just goes blak and quits the app. Right after I downloaded iOS 6 this started to happen. Please help me.

E60 and too small font in default screensaver

is there any way to change fonts bigger in this model? or is there some screensaver with bigger font available?

Using "regedit" I was able to change the font size larger for use with the Palm Desktop software.
Run "regedit" and export (save) a backup copy for safety
   File > Export
Search for "FontSmall"
   Edit > Find > Find what > FontSmall
Click on FontSizeGeneral and change the "Value data" to 16
Exit "regedit"
Run Palm Desktop software and enjoy the new legible font size!
Notes:
1) The location of the Palm Desktop software on my system using "regedit" is:
        HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\U.S. Robotics\Pilot Desktop\Core
        * Your location of the Palm Desktop software may differ.
2) I tested this on monitors using resolutions of 1280 x 1024 and 1024 x 768
        The font size is noticeably readable and much, much better
3) You may also change the font family from the default (Arial) to another, such as Verdana, etc.
        FontCard   (Changes the font family in the side panels)
        FontGeneral   (Changes the font family for most of the program fonts)
4) Operating System: Windows XP Pro
        Palm Desktop v4.1.4

JTextArea uses a small font that i cant read

I tried viewing a few examples of java swing applications but everytime i see a JTextArea on them the font on it is really small and hard to read. (I think it uses new courier, size 9 according to an application i tried to make on NetBeans)
apparently it doesn't happen on application that use the windows look and feel and look like a native program.
This also happens on two computers i own and also on my friends computers.
I am using java 6u12.
Windows xp sp3.
All the computers i tested this on are set to hebrew locales. but the last time i tried changing the locale thinking this was the problem it didnt help.
What is causing this, and is there any way to fix this?

something is still causing it to have a really small font. That something is in its source.... you can't change it (though you can, by changing it and compiling it once again yourself)
1. JTextArea has small font under windows look and feelTry running following program to check the font of text area in different look and feels:
import java.awt.BorderLayout;
import java.awt.event.*;
import javax.swing.*;
import javax.swing.UIManager.LookAndFeelInfo;
* Testing JTextArea in different Lnfs
* @author talha
public class TextAreaTest extends JFrame{
    private static LookAndFeelInfo[] lnf;
    private static int total;
    private static int current=0;
    public TextAreaTest() {
        super("JTextArea Test");
        setDefaultCloseOperation(JFrame.EXIT_ON_CLOSE);
        JTextArea area=new JTextArea(30,70);
        area.setText("Testing");
        JPanel panel=new JPanel(new BorderLayout());
        panel.add(area,BorderLayout.CENTER);
        getContentPane().add(panel,BorderLayout.CENTER);
        JButton button=new JButton("Change Look and Feel");
        button.addActionListener(new ActionListener() {
            public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent e) {
                try {
                    current=(++current) % total;
                    UIManager.setLookAndFeel(lnf[current].getClassName());
                    System.out.println(current);
                    setTitle("JTextArea Test... Current LnF : "+lnf[current].getName());
                } catch (Exception ex) {
                    ex.printStackTrace();
                SwingUtilities.updateComponentTreeUI(TextAreaTest.this);
        getContentPane().add(button,BorderLayout.SOUTH);
        pack();
        setLocationRelativeTo(null);
    public static void main(String args[]){
        lnf=UIManager.getInstalledLookAndFeels();
        total=lnf.length;
        SwingUtilities.invokeLater(new Runnable() {
            public void run() {
                new TextAreaTest().setVisible(true);
2. SwingSet2 source code tab has small font.Don't worry about it, its in small font for me and for everyone....
Thanks!

Brush sometimes adds to existing path and sometimes starts new one?

When drawing a path with the brush tool and then placing the brush back over an anchor point to continue the path, sometimes it continues the path and sometimes it deletes the path and just starts a new one. Why does it sometimes add to the existing path and sometimes start a new one?
Thank you.

If you have the path slected, wil edit the path, if it is not slected will create a new path. Aslo there si a distance withing 12 pixels is what I am set to. You can increase that valeu if you find you are getting too many new paths.

Idownloaded the latest itunes for windows and it just does not sync and every time I connect the iPhone 5 the agreement comes up first. Help please.

I have had nothing but trouble with syncing my iPhone 5 with iTunes. I have installed the latest version of each and worked with support but no solution. Currently when I connect the iPhone the Terms and conditions appear every time, I agree and sometimes there is a sync and sometimes not. It also tells me I have 5 conflicts but looking at Outlook and the phone there is no conflict. If you tell the system to correct the conflicts it gives a message it cannot access the conflict server. I am running Windows 7.
Any help would be appreciated

Make sure you have your data backed up, then reset sync services per the instructions below.
OS X: Resetting Sync Services
This should take care of the iTunes issue.

Firefox 22 and higher shows fonts too big or too small, sometimes on the same page. How to "fix" this annoying 'improvement"?

Since the update *every* website displays with the fonts too big or too small. On many websites, some of the fonts are too big and some are too small *on the same page*
This makes for a horrible browsing experience.
I've tried setting the layout.css.PixelsPerPx to a value of 1, but all it does is make most websites fonts too small, while leaving some websites fonts too large, with many web pages having fonts simultaneously too large and too small.
The old behavior was quite acceptable and I'd really like to restore the behavior to what it was. How can I do that? Or do i just switch to Chrome and be done with it?

Did you even bother to read the question?
"I've tried setting the layout.css.PixelsPerPx to a value of 1, but all it does is make most websites fonts too small, while leaving some websites fonts too large, with many web pages having fonts simultaneously too large and too small."
This "fix" doesn't work. Hundreds of people are complaining about how their browser was broken by this "improvement". Why not address the real problem instead of telling users to apply a useless hack to fix a programming error?

Sometimes when I scroll up and down, the screen font gets funky.

Sometimes when I scroll down a page on a website, the screen font goes from being clear to blurry and kind of funky looking, like when you don't use Clear Type. Is there some setting I can change to prevent this from happening? With very small fonts, it sometimes becomes almost unreadable.

Hello toekneesee, try disabling graphics hardware acceleration. Since this feature was added to Firefox, it has gradually improved, but there still are a few glitches.
You might need to restart Firefox in order for this to take effect, so save all work first (e.g., mail you are composing, online documents you're editing, etc.).
Then perform these steps:
*Click the orange Firefox button at the top left, then select the "Options" button, or, if there is no Firefox button at the top, go to Tools > Options.
*In the Firefox options window click the ''Advanced'' tab, then select "General".
*In the settings list, you should find the ''Use hardware acceleration when available'' checkbox. Uncheck this checkbox.
*Now, restart Firefox and see if the problems persist.
Additionally, please check for updates for your graphics driver by following the steps mentioned in the following Knowledge base articles:
[[Troubleshoot extensions, themes and hardware acceleration issues to solve common Firefox problems]]
[[Upgrade your graphics drivers to use hardware acceleration and WebGL]]
Did this fix your problems? Please report back to us!
Thank you.

How to keep alignment in Windows LARGE and SMALL fonts

For years, I fought with LabVIEW, trying to keep things looking decent in both Windows LARGE and SMALL font sizes.
By this, I mean Settings - Control Panels - Display - Settings - Advanced - General - Font Size
I love to use large fonts - I run my display at 1600x1200 and it just looks better.
But if you plop an indicator on a panel in LARGE fonts, save it, then open it with SMALL fonts in effect, it looks horrible.
N.I. Doesn't care about this - just look at how ugly their own examples get when viewed in LARGE fonts.
So I developed a method to make the bottom of the label text line up with the bottom of the numerical text, whether in LARGE fonts or SMALL.
Click here for examples. Basically, I turn OFF the SIZE to TEXT attribute and right-justify the label (if on the left of the numeric).
This works OK, except I have just discovered that it depends on the text being the default size.
If I have a 17-pt numeric with a 17-point label, then they both appear as 13-pt when I switch to SMALL fonts - great -- they're still aligned.
But if I have a 17-point numeric with a 16-pt label, when I switch to SMALL, the numeric shrinks to 13, but the label stays at 16, and is thus vertically misaligned with the numeric.
So how can I have a 17-pt numeric with a 13-pt label, and have them BOTH shrink when I switch to SMALL fonts?
I suppose I could use property nodes, and detect the switch myself, but I have 50+ of these on a single VI to do - that would be ugly to watch the labels jumping around.
I suppose I could have two VIs - one for LARGE fonts and one for SMALL, but I don't want to duplicate th
e code.
Any other ideas?

It is true that we don't have a
solution. It isn't that we don't care, but the solution choices stink.
Well, I'll stand by my opinion that N.I. doesn't care - when using the default app font, there *-IS-* a solution - the link in my original post points to a page that I show my employees on how to solve the problem. It is solvable, for the case of using the default font and size. Yet N.I. uses the default font and size, but LOOK HOW THEIR EXAMPLES APPEAR (see attached files). This is how the example software looks, out of the box. These are not ancient examples, either.
It is NOT my opinion that, because there apparently is no solution for non-standard sizes, the stuff looking ugly is NI's fault.
But when a solution DOES exist for standard sizes, why they don't apply it is beyond me. Even some of the LabVIEW dialogs suffer from this.

Why does Premiere render the same sequence sometimes fast and sometimes really slow?

I use Premiere Pro CC 2014.
I have a Nvidia GTX 590
Intel Core i7 X990 @ 3.47GHz
24GB RAM
Windows 7 (64)
200GB free space on an SSD drive and 2 more drives with each 1TB free.
I'm having trouble with performance when rendering sequences.
The sequences themselves are pretty simple. They contain MOV files from my Canon EOS 5D Mark III and transparent PNG files as overlays for titles and additional graphics.
I also use lumetri looks and have turned on Cuda rendering. As a codec for exporting I use H264 (fullhd, 25fps, 20mbits, 2pass, max render quality, max depth)
Whether or not I export in Premiere or via AME doesn't matter, the problem stays the same.
Now, when I start exporting, at one point, which is seemingly random (sometimes at 35%, sometimes at 60%, sometimes at 2% - I'm talking about the same sequence!) rendering becomes really really slow (~1 hour for a 3min video), and I don't understand why. I keeps slow until the whole sequence is finished. But before that, rendering was fast!
But sometimes, I'm lucky, and - after restarting my computer and Premiere, the same sequences render in whole, in under 2 minutes!
So obviously my computer is able to render fast. But it does not always do that. Sometimes - even after a fresh reboot, I'm out of luck and the same sequence renders in an hour - but only after a random point in the sequence.
It's as if Premiere stumbles and can't get up again. The only thing that CAN help (though does not alway), is rebooting the system and hoping for the best.
Where does this strange behaviour come from? I use ordinary footage, ordinary filters and an ordinary export codec. I have lots of RAM and lots of disk space
I have not found a topic in this forum with a similar problem

Similar problem here but on a Mac. AME is always much slower than directly exporting from Premiere, but if I start to get slow renders a reboot always sorts the issue out.

Transcoding - sometimes slow, sometimes fast and sometimes not at all?

This is odd...Sometimes Encore CS5.5 will transcode fast, sometimes slow and sometimes it would't transcode at all. (No errors. Seems like the program stop and go to sleep) And this is on the same project without any changes. I just tried to restart my PC, restart Encore several times, and everytime It wil behave differently. Why?

No cursor on any website, and boxes are too small to type username and password. Example I can't type username and password for yahoo e-mail

Example of no cursor. Any website, such as youtube, there is no cursor in the box, and there are no letters when I type, but the system recognizes what I type. As for e-mail, hotmail works o.k., but with yahoo the boxes for username and password are too small, there is no cursor and I can't type anything. With gmail, there is no cursor, but I can type my username and password.
