Yeah, as a side note I can't ride for very long in a car with someone else driving. Its made me dislike cars so much all my personal vehicles are motorcycles. When I was 18 (before I knew better) I spent a couple months on a commercial fishing boat in Alaska. Imagine being motion sick for 2...

I've had this problem forever. Unfortunately for me it has little to do with the hardware. Its more about whats going on in the game and the way your point of view moves. I played Call of Cthulhu through once. I am a die hard Lovecraft fan an had been waiting for it for 3 years. I own it...

I have that same card and I am driving 2 x 2407 rev A03s with it. in gentoo and xp also. I run most games in native resolution just fine. I can't turn everything all the way up but I am satisfied. thankfully for games like bf2142 (no widescreen support) nvidia's drivers do thier own 1:1 (so...

great.. I have 2 to exchange then. I've only had them about a month and bought them mostly for all the inputs. I can never get 1:1 to work with any of my game systems or my computer...

I just used it to get a 360. no problem at all. I did print it out a few days ago though

I don't think a usb wireless adapter will work. You need an adapter that plugs into the ethernet port. something like this: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16833203003 as for 2. you can create playlists on the fly and I've read about a "kiosk" or "party mode" for xbmc...

its called conky. its pretty lightweight and to the point. my config relies on some shell scripts to work. I used a config off this page and just tweaked it for my system. second row to the bottom on the left

I know the GF3 line doesn't support dual monitors, except maybe with the TV out. I just want to use the DVI input on the second monitor as I'm running out of inputs on the monitors. I guess I have a couple vga switch boxes around that I could use... or maybe I should just get a newer cheap...

I am trying to hook up my secondary machine to the dvi port on my second dell 2407. the card in the machine is a GF3 TI 500. it posts fine and I have a display until about halfway through boot then the dvi port goes dead (monitor sleeps). machine finishes booting and the vga out is live. I...

running gentoo with beryl on nvidia and XP (just for games that don't run in linux at this point) just got my 2 2407's as soon as I build a mount bar I am adding my 3 old 15" lcds above them. no reason other than why not?

OK here is what happened. Back in december when the 15% off and free shipping thing was going on I ordered 2 samsung 204b monitors with a 10% coupon from ebay. I wasn't quite sold on widescreen and wanted the at least 1600 x 1200 resolution. The monitors were taking forever to ship and I...

I got a pretty good deal (its a long story) short story is dell should pay their employees better (and give them a lesson on how percentages actually work!)

I'm looking to do something similar but for 2 X 2407 and 3 X 15" lcd's. I have decided that building my own is the only way to go. even vesa mounting plates are ridiculous . its a piece of steel with holes in it for Christs sake, its not worth $30.

last year I ordered a canon sd450 from dell. they sent a sd550 and then refunded my CC for the 450. Basicly they gave me a $450 camera for christmas. Thanks Dell! Do I feel guilty? no way! :D I just ordered 2 samsung 204b's but 4 will work just fine

Thats not a bad idea. I did consider it but the way Twinview (both heads accelerated for xgl) works in linux I need the same rez on each monitor. It would have been nice to have a 22" @ 1920 x 1200 next to a 20" @ 1600 x1200... I guess I can always add the 22" in between :eek:

I just ordered 2 samsung 204Bs from dell for a grand total of $566 shipped. the coupons work for those too! Widescreen dosent do anything for me... I considered getting the 24 but its not really that big resolution wise. 1920 x 1200 dosent really compare to 3200 x 1200. I never watch movies...

I actually emailed sunbeam and linked them here and to my picture. they are sending me a new kit. guess Ill hook it up to my testing power supply and sit it in the middle of the garage floor to torture test it for a few weeks. luckily the power supply in my case tripped when it went and I had...

3 days old from frys. sunbeamtech dual cold cathode kit. transistor meltdown... too bad I threw away my receipt. :mad: at least it didnt take anything with it

got em in the last emerge -uDav world. I run beryl on my desktop and test other window managers a lot using a modified xgame script. Noticed that after running the second X session and dropping back to the first i get screwed up textures until i reload beryl on that display. It dosent look...

after 7 years of being cell only I am getting home phone service again and I want to setup a voicemail, caller ID, etc setup on my gentoo box. What is a good hardware voice modem with caller ID support that will work well in linux? I would rather have pci i think. I'm also a cheap bastard so...

I bought a card, kind of spur of the moment at the compusa sale. I got a BFG 7600 gs oc 512 for $150. got home, put it in, emerge nvidia-drivers, wrote an xorg.conf from memory (getting good at that...), startx... works fine, first time. dual heads and all. i'm pretty impressed. Thanks...

the 6800gt might be a good bet. I have a thermaltake purepower 420 power supply and am running 4 hard drives (1.1TB woo.) and 4 random case fans. the only other card is an audigy and a tv tuner. is my power supply sufficiant or will I need to up that?

my matrox g400 is giving me troubles. here is what I want: easily dual head capable easy to set up in linux (gentoo) with full acceleration has to be AGP I dont game much anymore but still do occasionally so the faster the better budget is $100 (flexible) looking at 9800 pro 256 but I...
