Two problems after upgrading to Xorg

I ch...

Skype with microphone/headset??

Hello!!

I have just downloaded Skype for Linux and it seems to run just fine under Gentoox. Now I wonder if I could use a USB-Microphone/Headset with it too. Or would the Headset from a Xbox-Live Starterkit work??

Thanks :)

I just changed the Keyboardlayout in KDE and I could type all the special (german) characters not found on a english keyboard.
You can do this in the controll center under regional settings.

However this will only work for programms running while using the KDE Desktop.

Question about the CDs from linuxcd.org

Hello!!

Has someone tried out a CD from http://www.linuxcd.org and could tell me how they work with a Thomson?? I can download Gentoox by myself but I have to burn it on a CD-RW and it still takes me three or four attempts t install it.
And do they come with a cover??

Greetings

I still see it not only on the login screen but also when KDE has finished booting up.
So should keyboardtoggle have fixed this?? If yes and it is hust not working for me, is there another way to kill the keyboard, could I perhaps uninstall it??
