I'm having a heckuva time here, hopefully the linux/unix gurus out there can help!
I recently put together a machine, and went with ubuntu linux instead of windows. I'm trying hard to make it work rather than give up and go with windows!
when I'm drawing in eagle, often times I like to use the ALT key to switch to the fine grid mode when routing a trace or moving a part. I'm having a few problems however:
1) I hold down alt first, I can't left click
2) If I click first to move the part, and then hold down ALT, I can't click to release the part unless I let go of ALT, and then the part snaps back to the coarse grid
3) I can't get the traces to snap to their connection points ... in windows this happened almost automaticly, or sometimes I could help it by holding ALT while double clicking, no dice under gnome
any ideas? I'm gonna try some differnet window managers but I'm skeptical!
