Screen adjustment

[moonwalkers]

Well, none of that worked, even at 1024x768.  I tried something like
dd if=/dev/urandom of=/dev/fb0 bs=512 count=4
which in the old days would would fill the screen with snow and it did nothing.  At a command line or in X.

Yeah, I don't think that'll work anymore since AFAIK none of the reasonably recent kernel versions use simple frame buffer with most of the reasonably modern systems that provide hardware acceleration for video.

That's KDE I assume?  There are ctrl key definitions in mc, can't remember any just now.  But I use alt-i and alt-h a bunch.  Alt-h is command line history,  alt-i sets the other panel to where (same path) the current panel is.  xterm works right I think.  I'll try Konsole.

I don't use Alt+i and Alt+h much, I use Alt+s a lot though. But I just double checked - they all work fine in Konsole. They can also made to work fine in mate-terminal and gnome-terminal, but IIRC you need to disable key accelerators and menu access in the terminal settings, or something like that.
