bkil vs. programming

The described method should work on even simple desktop environments. If I don't already have an xorg.conf for editing, I first generate it by  Xorg -config xorg.conf.new . To make the screen easier to read, you need to  scale DPI by setting Displaysize in the respective "Monitor" section of xorg.conf proportionally larger than it physically is. A native driver outputs the original image size in Xorg.0.log. You need to type in the real size values times the magnification factor. So if the real active area of your display is 200mm wide and 100mm high and want 1.5x larger text, you insert  Option DisplaySize 300 150 . Unfortunately, not all applications honor this setting. You need to increase the default zoom by hand in  Chromium . You need to update the hexadecimal "LogPixels" dpi setting in ~/.wine/system.reg for  Wine . Otherwise if you are using Gnome, you could also try to increase the text scaling factor with the Gnome Tweak Tool, Universal...

Actually it is not an option for Ivy Bridge, it is a must! In my opinion, a patch would have been in order to the LTS kernel. https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Kernel/LTSEnablementStack Some background: linuxquestions.org: [SOLVED] kernel 3.2.x causes system freeze on Intel Ivy Bridge platform(e.g. ThinkPad T430)? Launchpad: [IVB]12.04 64 bit System freezes (mouse, keyboard) ...

The problem is triggered by me rapidly changing capitalization via shift while typing. I use the two shift keys symmetrically, but it always seems to involve the left shift. It lasts from about 10 to 30 seconds on average, but today it ceased to resolve by itself. So I started to research the issue (IN CAPS), and thankfully found something that seemed to work: CTRL+FN-F1 to switch to a console, then back to Xorg with CTRL+FN-F7, and pressing the left shift right away. Maybe it is indeed related to TVTime usage, I need to concentrate more on the issue. It is said to be caused by automatic periodical screen saver inhibition via stuffing control and shift keypresses using XTest. Ubuntu Bug #588473: shift key get stuck randomly

It would be interesting if environmental friendly, low power and mostly budget solutions like the following were more wide spread in office and computer lab environments. Computer display sharing would also be possible among friends! They say compositing with Wine and/or a virtual machine is also possible. http://www.linuxtoys.org/multiseat/multiseat.html
