After upgrading to 11.10 my media center needed tweaking to get the second X screen working again. The script to be run at boot time must now have the --replace argument added to it, so it will look like this

DISPLAY=":0.1" icewm --replace &

**For those who want a whole howto: ** KDE Session Manager tries to manage all possible screens that are currently running. This is not good for playing videos on a secondary TV screen, therefore pure X screen is a much better solution.

Edit ~/.kde/share/config/kcmdisplayrc and add these lines:

[X11]
disableMultihead=true

• Setup X to do multiple X screens in /etc/X11/xorg.conf (or nvidia-settings if you have an Nvidia card)
• sudo

I would like to get a feel for how often people donate to the various projects we all use, and which projects get donations. Personally I've donated to Firefox, KDE, KTorrent and of course to the Free Software Foundation to support all the great tools I use on my Linux distro every day. How about you?

Hopefully this isn't out of the area of expertise for you guys. The stock speakers on my laptop are crap and I'd like to swap them out with quality ones.

I'm able to disassemble my laptop and replace the components, but don't know how to find good quality aftermarket laptop speakers, if such a thing exists. Does it?

My machine's a Toshiba Satellite e105-s1402, the speakers are about 1"x.5".

EDIT: I found that later models use Harman Kardon speakers, if I bought an OEM pair would I have to splice wires to install them? Do they all use the same connectors where they attach to the board?
