Re: Booth 1035 at LinuxWorld (GNHLUG) amazingly busy...
Thanks to all who came and helped out, or even just stopped by to say "Hi". Some fun, lots of cool demos, lots of boring demos, and a few very cool looking things. I hope to have a bit more info on the cool things later. Did anyone happen to catch the keynote given by Microsoft? I'm curious as to what they had to say. -- Ben ___ gnhlug-discuss mailing list gnhlug-discuss@mail.gnhlug.org http://mail.gnhlug.org/mailman/listinfo/gnhlug-discuss

I've forgotten now, but I think you said you had a recent Geforce video card in there; I have a 6800GS, but I'm running it in dual-head mode and so I thought that my experience wasn't relevant. I saw something similar, but I always had the second monitor on and could see that it was just preferring the VGA port, so I carried on with setting up TwinView. The only remaining part of that problem that I notice is that the gdm login prompt appears on the monitor I consider secondary. ___ gnhlug-discuss mailing list gnhlug-discuss@mail.gnhlug.org http://mail.gnhlug.org/mailman/listinfo/gnhlug-discuss

Unless it's a loss-leader if you find such a system I bet it won't be around very long, as there's no revenue model. I've been pretty happy with SquirrelMail.

Re: DVI monitor won't wake up?
Cole - One thing you should note is that Ubuntu includes the proprietary Nvidia drivers in their distribution, but by default, X.org will pick up the open source "nv" driver. I think if you switch to using the "nvidia" driver in your /etc/X11/xorg.conf file, it should fix most, if not all of your problems. However, there are a few things you need to make sure are installed before you do this. First, you need the restricted modules package for your kernel version. A good way to find the right package name is to do the following: apt-cache search restricted `uname -r` (just in case you didn't notice, the "quotes" around uname -r are actually back-ticks) Then "apt-get install" the package. The second thing you need to install is the actual Nvidia X.org driver. I believe this package is "nvidia-glx". Lastly, you'll probably also want to install the Nvidia configuration tool, "nvidia-settings". There are other Nvidia packages as well and you might want to look through them to see if any of them make any sense for you. In order to install these, you may need to add a few new repositories to /etc/apt/sources.list, but I would give this a try first and if you can't find them, then make sure you have the universe and multiverse repositories enabled. A little off topic... This is my first post to the list, so hi everyone! I've been lurking for a while and have enjoyed the discussions and useful information broadcast here. So, thanks! :) - Chris On Apr 7, 2006, at 9:44 AM, Cole Tuininga wrote: Well, I finally got around to installing the Wintendo side of the system last night and guess what? DVI works just fine there.

I wound up punting and putting all the information in a MySQL database, then use OpenOffice.org and its mail merge function to print out the envelopes.
