To enable the text box on the phosphor screen saver in Fedora, the xml file at /usr/share/xscreensaver/config/phosphor.xml should look like below: <?xml version="1.0" encoding="ISO-8859-1"?>
<screensaver name="phosphor" _label="Phosphor">
<command arg="-root"/>
<number id="delay" type="slider" arg="-delay %"
_label="Speed" _low-label="Slow" _high-label="Fast"
low="0" high="80000" default="50000"
convert="invert"/>
<number id="scale" type="spinbutton" arg="-scale %"
_label="Font Scale" low="1" high="100" default="6"/>
<number id="fade" type="slider" arg="-ticks %"
_label="Fade" _low-label="Slow" _high-label="Fast"
low="1" high="100" default="20"
convert="invert"/>
<select id="mode">
<option id="dumb" _label="Text Only" arg-set="-pipe"/>
<option id="pty" _label="Terminal Emulation"/>
</select>
<file id="program" _label="Text Program" arg="-program %"/>
<xscreensaver-text />

Draws a simulation of an old terminal, with large pixels and
long-sustain phosphor. This program is also a fully-functional VT100
emulator!

</screensaver> Also don't forget to use an OUTPUT program to print your text file, something such as 'cat'! ie: cat /home/username/myCoolTextfile.txt |

In all seriousness, this shook the ground for me tonight: found an easy way to do it
using KPPP as long as system sees modem selecting that modem and then creating an account using the dialing number #777 then you enter the:
user name :
This email address is being protected from spam bots, you need Javascript enabled to view it
password: vzw
connect and at that point is should connect.
i also ran through the minicom in terminal to see if it can even dial out and it did so for sure it was possible at that point 
thank you all for your assistance. from here: http://fedoraforum.org/forum/showthread.php?t=195453&page=2 In short what this does is allow me to connect to my Verizon Wireless broadband service; the ground shaking part is that ITS THROUGH MY LG DARE ON MY LAPTOP ON FEDORA!! To be honest, I thought this was impossible. Or very near it. I was actually going to cancel the service tomorrow because almost all my work is done exclusively on Linux. Turns out all my searching was -too- specific. Fedora 8 and up sees most modern USB modems properly, the hardware is ready to be used as USB 1.1 device. It just doesn't know what to do with it! KPPP knows exactly what to do with it. Make it a modem! There aren't really any other technical details to provide with the above excerpt; I used the defaults on everything else and got a "connected" window. I did have to disconnect it, shutdown the KNetwork Manager completely (even after disabling my normal wifi card) and re-connect using the KPPP. Hope this helps someone! Verzion, you need to market some linux compatibility! Posting this from the remarkable setup above.. |

In an effort to get some actual web development done here at some point, I'm creating a crude tutorial based on everything I find; at some point I hope to post it and the project in a zip file. I've found a lot of good articles about doing pieces and parts of it, but nothing yet that includes the whole thing. Stay tuned.. |
