Re: postil.com not working in FF or Konqueror
I see now, the submit button does not work in Firefox. I wrote to them this: אני צריך להירשם לשירות המקוון של postil אבל הטופס הצטרפות אינו עובד. אני לוחץ על כפתור שלח ושוב דבר לא קורה. נא לתקן את האתר ולהודיע לי כשהעיניין מתופל. בתודה מראש. However, I got this message upon submitting the form: Error- This page can't be displayed due to a security violation or typing not allowed characters.Contact support for additional information 02-6290370 Did my message get received? Did it go to /dev/null? So I called the number and the man asked Which internet do you have? The site does not work with Firefox. before I even told him what browser. These were his exact, confidence-inspiring words: איזה אינטרנט יש לך? Some technician! As I am calling at 18:45 he suggested that I call back in the morning to speak to a senior tech. I will. Another bit of stupidity: I put my phone number in as 054-7881700 and I got a JavaScript popup complaining about nonnumerical characters in the phone field. What an idiot programmer: phone fields should accept [0-9():space:\-\.] because those are the common deliminators used. -- Dotan Cohen http://what-is-what.com http://gibberish.co.il א-ב-ג-ד-ה-ו-ז-ח-ט-י-ך-כ-ל-ם-מ-ן-נ-ס-ע-ף-פ-ץ-צ-ק-ר-ש-ת ä-ö-ü-ß-Ä-Ö-Ü
Preferred video card for Linux dual-head?
Hello, My boss bought second-hand extra monitors for all of us and I now need to buy graphics cards which can support dual-head for Debian/Ubuntu (and Windows XP and Vista). Since there are always swings around about best linux support which I didn't follow, what's the order of the day? Should go with nVidia, AMD or maybe Intel? Any specific card families/models? The computers are a mix of older (2-3 years?) to new (2 months old), so the system bus might be a bit limited too. I don't need to run games or anything too fancy - just plain programming/surfing and remote desktop, though support for Compiz would be a nice bonus.

Re: Preferred video card for Linux dual-head?
Hi, I'll go with NVidia if you don't care about open source drivers. They have excellent support in dual screen support. Intel... not very good support. good drivers, but I had my share of a garbage cursor on the 2nd screen. ATI/AMD - Pretty good but PRAY that your card is supported in their latest drivers or else if you find a bug on an older drivers (discontinued card), then that's your problem :) Good luck Hetz On Mon, Aug 25, 2008 at 1:51 AM, Amos Shapira [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Hello, My boss bought second-hand extra monitors for all of us and I now need to buy graphics cards which can support dual-head for Debian/Ubuntu (and Windows XP and Vista).

Re: Preferred video card for Linux dual-head?
In my PC I have two nVidia GeForce FX 5200 video cards. One with AGP form factor, and the other - with PCI form factor. This was the cheapest way to add a second display to my PC, and worked because my PC had unused PCI slots. Software: Debian Etch, with Xorg version 7.1.0-19. The driver being used is 'nv', for both video cards. The following /etc/X11/xorg.conf section specifies how both screens are combined. Section ServerLayout Identifier DualHead Default Layout Screen 2nd Screen RightOf Default Screen Screen Default Screen Option Xinerama InputDevice Generic Keyboard InputDevice Configured Mouse EndSection I hope this helps. --- Omer On Mon, 2008-08-25 at 08:51 +1000, Amos Shapira wrote: Hello, My boss bought second-hand extra monitors for all of us and I now need to buy graphics cards which can support dual-head for Debian/Ubuntu (and Windows XP and Vista).

I would recommend against Nvidia: http://www.petitiononline.com/nvfoss/ They are completely apathetic towards open-source and Linux, and I have encountered (or heard of people encountering) many problems with them. They don't have their own free drivers or have released SPECs for their cards (the nv driver is written in hex.). I have recently bought a new ATI HD 2600 Pro card to replace my old Nvidia GeForce 4 MX card (whose fan died and that was on the virge of being no longer supported) and am very happy. I wouldn't want to support such a company with my wallet.

Re: Preferred video card for Linux dual-head?
Hi, I had bought ATI Sapphire HD 2400 PRO for a developer workstation. The card was in mass sales two months ago. The card is working perfect with Debian lenny - July 2008 and with Knoppix 5.3.1. Graphics display and video processing seems fine with xserver-xorg-video-radeonhd video driver. - Moshe.

A couple of reasons. A. Having an OSS driver is big plus. While it may or may not use the OSS driver, having the -option- to use an OSS drivers when the binary driver fails and/or you're trying to use unsupported software/OS combo * should be taken into account. If you use nVidia, you're limited to what-ever OS/arch/etc nVidia chose for you. B. The current driver family (16x.xx and 17x.xx) has miserable 2D performance. In nVidia's defense, they are working hard to solve these problems, but as it stands, my 11 y/o PII233/MAC64 laptop, with it's patched DRI driver, literally run circles around my 2xE5335/GF9800GTX workstation in 2D. C. nVidia is a -very- annoying tendency to kill the support for older cards unexpectedly - switching to very problematic legacy drivers. And as you're limited to binary drivers, once nVidia drops to the support for your card, you're screwed. As it stand, if you only require 2D with limited 3D (Read: compiz and friends) an older ATI card (r300/r400-based **) should suite you best. Make sure you do some digging (@google) on the target card before buying it. - Gilboa * Xen under both Linux and Solaris, FreeBSD/AMD64, PPC/PPC64/SPARC/etc. ** 9800*, X300/600/800. = To unsubscribe, send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the word unsubscribe in the message body, e.g., run the command echo unsubscribe | mail [EMAIL PROTECTED]
