Visible, white, annoying light. I am thinking I'll open it up and hack
it to disable those lights.

Re: [ubuntu-in] PCIe Graphics Card for ubuntu

I doubt the 2D only drivers will support HD content(not resolutions) It's probably a windows only feature at present. HD resolutions have been supported for ages by any card with sufficient video RAM. What these "HD" cards are supposed to do is accelerate HD playback by decoding the HD stream using the GPU instead of the CPU. (My current card and monitor (about 4 years old) can handle full-HD resolutions but my CPU chokes up) So you'd need driver support for it .. and a media player/codec which can interact with that driver. > In case you have found some fortune anywhere and want to use it to buy > graphics card then buy the latest from Radepn HD series like 3xxx or > 4xxx.

I would recommend the exact opposite.. unless you are really into 3D stuff and fps is a big deal, don't buy a graphics card with a fan... they are power hungry/overheat and noisy .. and those fans are usually the first to die or get noisier and you it's hard to find a replacement fan. Get a card with a nice large heatsink and *no fan*, you can get a fairly decent nvidia card for 1500 or less. (If you were able to live with SiS anything is a major upgrade.. you don't have to go in for top of the line) AFAIK any recent ATI and all NVIDIA cards need binary drivers for 3D support. (Intel seems to have the best "Free" 3D drivers but they don't make non-integrated cards) Kingsly -- --- Kingsly At Users Dot SourceForge Dot Net -- http://kingsly.org/ --- pgpb85Rdq9CTD.pgp Description: PGP signature -- ubuntu-in mailing list ubuntu-in@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-in

Do they output visible light? or are they IR?

Re: [ubuntu-in] 64gb thumb drive not mounting on Hardy
also, sometimes its a good idea to plug it directly into the usb port of the machine and not into a hub, in case there's a power-related issue. regards niyam -- ubuntu-in mailing list ubuntu-in@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-in

Thanks for kicking me into it. That page is for general troubleshooting and installation. I didn't do anything, just plugged it in and worked. The camera model is iNTEX IT-305WC (reported as Z-Star Microelectronics Corp.

Re: [ubuntu-in] 64gb thumb drive not mounting on Hardy
After you plug Pen drive and wait for 2minutes and then post the output of "dmesg | tail" Also, use "fdisk -l" to know device location and then try to mount it manually Regards, Gaurish Sharma www.gaurishsharma.com On Sat, Oct 25, 2008 at 12:21 AM, Mir Nazim <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Hi guys > > A friend of mine got a 64gb thumb drive and its not mounting.

[ubuntu-in] 64gb thumb drive not mounting on Hardy
Hi guys A friend of mine got a 64gb thumb drive and its not mounting. I tried it on different systems, laptops, PC and even of older versions like feisty and gutsy, but could not mount it. Its working on Vista though. Any ideas why this is happening and how to fix this problem. -- Mir Nazim EMail/GTalk: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Cell: +91 9469071855 Blog: http://saunzal.org Company:http://www.ikraftsoft.com -- ubuntu-in mailing list ubuntu-in@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-in
