xorg.conf for xinerama
Etch KDE 3.5.5 Intel 945GM/GMS/940GML i810 Dell Latitude D520 Hello, I am desperately trying to get the simultaneous video-output running for beamer (external) and local display (internal). I found some xorg.conf's on the net for dual-head or xinerama, but I could not get one working with my computer. In addition the Xorg.0.log also reports Bad V_BIOS checksum. Maybe there is somebody out there . Bernd -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]

javaws ans iceweasel config-problem
Etch installed: Iceweasel sun-java5-bin sun-java5-plugin sun-java5-jre Hello, when trying to start a web-based application, the download of the *.jnlp file starts, then iceweasel asks how to handle the file (sun web-java 5) and then the "Java-loading"-info pops up. After a few moments the info disappears and that's it. Opening a terminal and starting javaws nameoffile.jnlp on command-line the web-application starts as intended. Normal java-applets are working fine within iceweasel.. Any ideas? Are there log-files somewhere? I did not find any. Thank you Bernd

Sorry to come up again with that problem. I thought that Nigel gave the solution, because installing libdvdcss2 made my computer play all kinds of dvd's. Last week I installed libdvdcss2 on the third computer with that error, but here it did not work. With commercial dvd's still the error: cannot find plugin for MRL occurs. w32codecs are installed. Something else still is missing. How can I find out, what I have to install? Thanks for help Bernd
