Yah - it was 10.0.45.2 was latest version of 64bit flash - that had been just kinda a stopping point and put on hold as adobe has been focused on 10.1 development for 32bit all platforms. So they...

My current workstation is far from outdated (the one listed at the start of this thread - quad core / 8 gig ram) - I'm doing this mostly to test eyefinity and the current status of the ATI/AMD driver...
Just thought I would let everyone know who reads this thread that I just purchased parts for a new workstation build. I'll be trying to get 2 AMD/ATI Radeon HD 5870 Eyefinity Cards working with 6...
FYI - I'm still around but for some reason I was not getting any updates to this thread.. Due to holidays and other projects I've not yet pushed out our customizer with an automated solution to this...
Lol - then why would anyone be switching to ubuntu any-time soon :) - seriously - people want something that works with everything or why switch from their precious windows that does do everything :P
Attached a screenshot of how my system tray shows up now after that fix - this is Jaunty, and KDE 4.2 - so I'm anxious to see how I can get it working with Karmic, KDE 4.3.3..
...
Also something similar may be necessary to fix issues with the Gnome panels - with regular ubuntu.. But I've not even tried that out yet with xserver-xgl so I can't give any more info than that.....
Sure - Keep in mind I've yet to do this on Karmic - or perfect it, the module I'm working on will detect the settings of your monitors and you will be able to pick where this thing goes. Essentially...
This is correct, nvidia settings will not work with xserver-xgl because when opening it - its looking at the display xserver-xgl is powering, not the root Display that the nvidia drivers are mapped...
Great tutorial mugginz! Thanks for the kind words at the end!
Now on with the latest news -
I'm still here, still working on our "D2-Customizer"!. The core is essentially done and I'm...
I did and it broke.. Because later on updates come down that have dependencies for the 185 driver set and it removes your nice 190.42 set you get from that PPA :( - Soooo what I've decided on for...
There is more to it than that in 9.04 Jaunty.. Those steps can be found in this thread - and according to the post above it seems to work the same w/ Karmic. I have only gone as far as testing a...
I also had a problem with Jockey with the new installation of Karmic 64bit / kubuntu actually.. I had to do the following to get jockey to come alive - then I was able to install my correct WIFI...
I have not heard of any fixes to allow for this yet - the major issues have been due to the changes they have been pushing into X and the drivers need to be there from nvidia and ATI.. It looks like...
I decided since we pushed it this far - we might as well release the D2-Customizer with support for Karmic Koala - So I've started testing all the modules for it and will backport to Jaunty Jackelope...
I will be testing with Kwin (KDE4.3) effects in the next day or so. I've been using KDE 4.2.x for awhile now with compiz and no issues. I had kwin working as well before, but its been awhile since...
I'm not sure what the limit is on the monitors with this solution. However there are lots of options coming.. I know ATI has been working on their new Eyfinity solution - which as you can see here -...
Also - another advantage of this module's included xinerama updates is that you can also configure GDM and KDM to span across all the monitors or trick it to center it across all of them or a single...
I'd say the multiple monitor module should be ready by the end of this weekend at the latest, sooner if I knock out all the testing quickly. The Customizer is ready - but I really want to include...
Yes - the module for multiple gpu's / monitors takes care of all the modifications to the system / xorg.conf - and makes the modifications to get xserver-XGL / compiz, Xinerama, etc. working and...
I've been using it since 9.04 has been out - No major issues to report now. I'm very excited to release it and it has evolved into something a bit more than I first imagined.
I guess the major...
And a few more shots -
I'll have some images / detail on the multi-monitor module soon - and I will be working to get this avail for karmic ASAP soon after release for Jaunty in the next few...
Quick post - More coming VERY soon.
I'm back! I have not died, and have spent a few 100 hours developing the D2-Customizer for use for this and other solutions. Despite some people thinking it...
