More Linux.

Woke up a little later than expected today, so I need to get a motorcycle helmet and gear tomorrow, but oh well I have homework to do! But I’m not doing it! instead I’m wasting time getting linux setup on my main computer. Windows just ain’t cutting it, Explorer likes to close itself via AMD execution time encoding checking (see if any processes are trying to modify others when they run basically). So I installed ubuntu, ran into some ati driver issues, got it working, running great (i.e. last post) But I have two monitors! One was always duplicated, so I couldn’t have that. Reinstalled Ubuntu as something didn’t feel right about my past installation( perhaps messing around with the highpoint rocket 100 card, which boots with the card, but no hard drives connected, thats asking too much), so its reinstalled. Got the dual monitor thing working, now all I need to go is get XGL working (installed, but it hates 1280×1024 on two monitors so it won’t run) so now i’m stuck. But I have homework I still need to do (I remember!) so I’m going to begin that.

But damn, I want dual monitors AND beryl/XGL working, then I would move in a heartbeat (get some software to play games, the latest and greatest and i’ll be in heaven). Always later!
