I found this a few days ago, and I fully intend to use it on a regular basis once I do acquire a card with hardware acceleration. It is quite cool and practical, as you said, at that. Very little special configuration is needed, as well. It uses the standard Gnome pager, but you need to be sure to use the key-binding (that you define) to switch desktops every time or the images will get out of sync. Now I have an incentive to buy one of those wiz-bang graphics card. Since I'm not a gamer, I haven't really had any reason to pick on up. Anyone know if there is a Linux supported hardware accelerated card that'll drive the SGI 1600SW widescreen? And if so, anyone in the market for a Number Nine card that I might be selling soon? ;-) -- -Paul Iadonisi Senior System Administrator Red Hat Certified Engineer / Local Linux Lobbyist Ever see a penguin fly? -- Try Linux.
