Managed to figure out how to switch back to nouveau, I was rudely reminded why I got off that crap. Screen constantly flickers, resolution is crap. Before I get epilepsy I immediately switched back...

Just tried this, and it did not do anything but disable the 3rd screen (like it was originally)


This is the resulting config file:

Did it again... what a pain. It screwed up the theme again too. What seems to happen is it actually looks like the theme I had but things go all black.

It's a LG Flatron E2442TC.

The issue with using those type of work arounds is they do not support any 3D acceleration. While they're arn't many games for Linux, I do plan to possibly start coding one, and there are a few I do...

I need to be able to see everything at once, so I need the multiple screens. I already do use the workspace switcher on top of that.

Cool thanks for the tips, seems I have mostly everything under control now. I managed to get the standard text bootup mode, which is what I wanted. Somehow it actually cut down my boot time by...

Cool thanks for the help!

So for the executable, the only way then is to create a launcher? there's not a way to do it globally for all executable?

How do I find out the path of a shortcut? In windows I can right click and go propeties, and I know where the exe is. How do I find out the location of the binary in the case of Linux?

Also how...

Rather than make a whole bunch of posts, I have a few questions and I'll just post them here.
