Mode "1280x720" "1124x644" but on re-boot, I get this in Xorg.0.log ... Mode 1280x720 test failed Mode 1124x644 not found Virtual size is 1124x644 (pitch 1280) and the display stays the same size, so I guess this is how it is with ps3 720p > > 2.

The firefly icon disappeared from rhythmbox on reboot - note that a different linux box can play music from it as well as my roku soundbridge, so the firefly server is working - how do I get it back? In the meantime, I mounted the share with the music files using samba and rhythmbox can play the files. >_______________________________________________ >yellowdog-general mailing list >[email protected] >http://lists.terrasoftsolutions.com/mailman/listinfo/yellowdog-general >HINT: to Google archives, try '<keywords> site:terrasoftsolutions.com' _______________________________________________ yellowdog-general mailing list [email protected] http://lists.terrasoftsolutions.com/mailman/listinfo/yellowdog-general HINT: to Google archives, try '<keywords> site:terrasoftsolutions.com'
