I still haven't figured out how to add Scrot into the sessions manager.
 Maybe I installed the wrong thing. |

I think the quality of video in Linux is slightly poorer compare to Window. When watching movie there seem to be an horizontal line running across the screen especially in action movie. But it is fine in Window XP. I figure it could be the graphic card driver or the X server display config kind of thing. It is a minor issue but just out of curiosity why this thing happen? Anyone face this issue?

Like Acid has said, it's called screen tearing and you need to turn on Vertical Sync.@Acid : I'm not sure but I install scrot from the repo and there's no entry for Scrot in GDM. I'm not even sure if I installed the right thing. Added on December 22, 2010, 3:39 pmAfter digging up the webs, Scrot is not even in the repo.... So I have installed the wrong thing, huh.

QUOTE(-Hzu- @ Dec 22 2010, 11:45 AM) I still haven't figured out how to add Scrot into the sessions manager. Just so you know, Scrot and ScrotWM are completely different/unrelated packages. ScrotWM is the tiling window manager I was talking about earlier, while scrot is just a screenshot taking app. So if you installed scrot, then yes, you installed the wrong thing. Maybe I installed the wrong thing.With regards to starting ScrotWM via GDM; As far as I know Ubuntu and stock Debian Stable (Gnome) will automatically add ScrotWM to your xsessions, but I'm not sure about other distros. The instructions I previously posted (about manually creating a scrotwm.desktop in your /usr/share/xsessions) should work across most distros that have GDM installed. Not sure about Fedora (which I assume -Hzu- is using), but maybe it has something to do with the path Yum installs Scrotwm to. Like I mentioned previously, I don't rely on GDM to manage my sessions (I'm old fashioned and prefer good ol' startx), so I'm not exactly well-informed in that department. It might be best to ask the Fedora forums. This post has been edited by G-17: Dec 23 2010, 01:26 AM |

Added on December 23, 2010, 8:11 amJuz to share something here , it seems that this lil music player really is interesting  Everyone might forget bout it - Minitunes from the developer of MinitubeIts quite simple QT music player which intergrates your music collection with Last.FM to fetch info and cover art  What is the downside ? Does not support mp3TAG edits , missing equalizer and it does not create launcher But its worth the try and it has been updated to ver 0.1.1 Screenshoot : » Click to show Spoiler - click again to hide... « How to install : Open terminal n type : CODE sudo add-apt-repository ppa:nilarimogard/webupd8 && sudo apt-get update sudo apt-get install minitunes This post has been edited by cocooh: Dec 23 2010, 08:11 AM |

What distro are you using? Are you using nouveau driver or Nvidia's proprietary driver? If you are using Nvidia's driver, you have to enable "Sync to VBlank". |

I have try glxgears but it say it could not fine and ask me to "sudo apt-get install mesa-utils". After I key in my password it say it is not available. I even try the nVidia setting but so far nothing helps. Maybe I need more info. I am a noob to this. Thanks again!

I am using Ubuntu 10.10 with current nVidia driver install from "Additional Drivers". Now I manage to install glxgears and did a test. I attached below the screenshot. So where do I go from here? Thanks!

I try that and even download the latest nVidia driver and follow the instruction and the nVidia show the latest version. But still unsuccessful. Being doing that for the whole day. What is the different between Nouveau and nVidia driver? Is Nouveau better? How do I download Nouveau? Anyway many thank for all your help.http://www.nvnews.net/vbulletin/showthread.php?t=85301 |

Nouveau is the Open Source version, not directly supported or sanctioned by Nvidia (as far as I know), but it's easier to install and maintain.
In terms of performance, Nouveau is quite good, but the restricted "official" Nvidia drivers are better. Nouveau doesn't support VDPAU either, if I'm not mistaken. This post has been edited by G-17: Dec 23 2010, 08:44 PM |

@axxer
Strange O_o ... the output says your CPU is indeed scaling correctly. Tell me, does any part of the laptop feel hot to the touch? Does this in the terminal give you anything? (eg: performance, ondemand..etc) CODE cat /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cpufreq/scaling_governor ...and the same for the other core CODE cat /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu1/cpufreq/scaling_governor if the answer for both is "ondemand", then there's not much you can do, since it's scaling correctly. What kernel does LMDE currently use? If I remember correctly, Debian Testing is still frozen on the 2.6.32 kernel until Squeeze gets officially released. I remember there being some temperature issues on certain Core2Duo and Core2Quad processors with version 2.6.32-5 |
