[newbie] two monitors; experience with wine?; Database programs?
Hi, At win98 it is possible to install two graphiccards and monitors, so if you move your mouse to the edge of the monitor you can switch between them. This is very fine because I can have the main Window on my 19" monitor and the toolpalettes on the 15" one . Is this possible with Linux too? Does anyone have some experience with the windows modulator "wine?". Ore other emulators better? How much does emulating windows affect the speed? I am using the Vectorworks 2d-3d drawing and rendering program from Diehlgraphsoft and would like to run it at Linux. My hardware: CPU: Celeron 400 mhz, overclocked to 500 mhz Graficards: Matrox Millenium II (PCI) 8Mb ATI Rage II (AGP) 8Mb RAM: 128 Mb Can someone tell me a really good Database program for Linux? The one which is included at the Staroffice isn't the best I need to be able to make sophisticated calculations. Thanks in Advance and a happy, y2k- conforming New Year's Eve ;-) Hannes

I have just installed linux beside Win98 on my PC. All seems OK but only the mouse doesn't work. Can anyone tell me please how and where I can change the settings for the mouse? I guess there is the wrong port assigned. More information please. What kind of mouse (ps/2 or serial?) What brand, how many buttons on it? How does it not work? Does it just not move in X, or do the buttons not work correctly? More information is needed before we can give you a definitive answer. Any suggestions at this point are just guesswork. John Oh, sorry about my sloppy wording. Well, it is a microsoft intellimouse, PS/2 or serial compatible. I installed it on the PS/2 port now, but the mousepointer does only run at the upper edge of the window with breathtaking speed. Anyone a suggestion? Thanks in Advance, Hannes
