Thanks. The Atheros does look like a good choice.

Since the package xorg-driver-fglrx is not installed something must have gone wrong.

From the aptitude man page:



Good idea. There are a few other commands which maybe useful. If you want...

You probably installed some packages and it would be better to remove them using a package manager like Synaptic or apt from the command line.

There are a few ways could could have installed the...

Your latest log uses the config file /etc/X11/xorg.conf but it doesn't seem to be the one you posted. I would expect to see the identifiers you defined. This log contains default ones. For...

You need an nVidia driver that supports Xorg v1.5 - there is a beta version out 96.43.09 (legacy, BETA) for Linux x86/x86-64 - link.

What I think is happening is that when the Gnome Display Manager (gdm) detects that the X server has failed to start it runs a failsafe configuration. I found a link about BulletProofX with some...

This log file has been generated from a failsafe configuration, not the one that you posted. You can see this from the following lines:

(==) Using config file: "/etc/X11/xorg.conf.failsafe"

Sorry, I forgot that you were a newbie. You can find details on how to use the code tags here. You can write them in yourself or use the "#" button in the advanced posting screen. Your log file...

Yes, I have an nVidia card and setting up twinview is very easy.

I still think that it should be possible with a Radeon 7000 though with the xinerama approach.

I run a dual monitor system on a 5 year-old laptop. Linux is normally very good at supporting old hardware.


Mine is only 530 lines but I only have one video card. You probably aren't getting...

Yes, good idea. That is the approach I use.

You could make 4 shortcuts - one for each of the Documents, Music, Pictures and Video folders under the Places menu.

The driver line for your intel card still looks wrong. Your indeftifiers are also the same for the monitors as the drivers which may be a little confusing. Try:


Section "Device"
Identifier...

Still down. The domain seems to have gone.

It would be good if someone else would host the content because it was a good link.

Another link for newbies is...

OK. I think you will need "fglrx" for the proprietary driver, not "radeon" as I suggested earlier.

Hopefully you won't need to reboot, just restart the X server.

Make a backup of a working single screen xorg.conf file so that you can restore a working copy when you need to.

To backup:

I am using two monitors from the same nvidia card using TwinView.

I enabled it all from System->Adminstration->NVIDIA X Server Settings

To install it type:

You might find it easier to use awk rather than sed. Try the following:

awk '/^\t/ {sub("\t",""); print $0 "."}
/Author:/ {print $4 " " $2}' input.txt > output.txt

This is not a simple problem. You seem to be progressing in the right direction though.

You have two device sections to define your graphics cards but the drivers don't look correct. The Radeon...

I don't think you can. They are there so you can access the panel properties when the panel is not expanded.

You can change their appearance by choosing a different theme. Try changing themes...

It alters the filenames in 3 steps:

Firstly, it used the sed command to replace all occurrences of ":" with " -". For details read the manual page with:

man sed

Then it uses the tr command...

Thanks. From reading other threads I wasn't very keen on the Broadcom.

Has anyone had any luck with the Atheros or Intel cards?

Maybe I'll just try to get a very cheap one from eBay. :)

I am considering buying a cheap mini-PCI wireless card for my Dell laptop. There seem to be three reasonable options:

Dell TrueMobile 1370

Lower power version of the 1350 which was originally...

I'm getting a similar error to this.

It looks like Wine bug #7526 and could be fixed.

It would be worth trying the latest version of Wine.

You could always create a symbolic link from the mount point of your shared partition to a directory under your home directory.


Yes, this is a good approach if you want to share application...

Yes, that is exactly what /etc/fstab is for. Edit it with:

gksudo gedit /etc/fstab
