6 Maybe you forgot some use flag or something. To use truetype fonts in
7 mrxvt you need to turn that flag on. I also have no idea about mrxvt,
8 but most terminal emulators read their configs from ~/.Xdefaults,
9 check the mrxvt man page and/or docs.

20 So, latest Xorg doesn't use hal. I can't be sure since you are not
21 telling us what xorg version you are using. Since 1.8 X uses udev
22 instead.

31 If it happens only under X, then it's the same issue that you have
32 with your mouse. Configure it using the new method.

38 Probably a k3b and/or udev issue. I can't help with this one. But I
39 think I've seen something about k3b lately in the forums. Might worth
40 a check.

44 That's nothing to do with linux, but your BIOS. A different land.
