Damn, my ATI 9550 card is blacklisted.

According to here, http://wiki.compiz-fusion.org/Hardware/Blacklist

Ignoring the blacklist

Some times you want to start compiz-manager even though compiz-manager blacklists it, this is easy enough:



Or in the case of distributions that name the script 'compiz':



You can also store this value, where it is depends on your distribution, usually it is a matter of putting



in ~/.config/compiz/compiz-manager .

But where do it find ~/.config/compiz/compiz-manager?
Where is it located?

Found the solution somewhere in the ubuntu forum.
Finally, my eye candies are back!

Advise for AV710 sound card user.
use this asound.state in this site http://www.head-fi.org/forums/showthread.php?p=3375341
You'll get much better sound. No more noises.

if you experience sound being played "slow motion".
go to terminal type: alsamixer
change the clock to 48000.
that will fix the problem

That's pretty hardcore.

anyhow, XINE or GSTREAMER better?

I watch cantonese drama in rmvb, play Axxos in avi/divx, watch virals in 3gp/wmv

Can't hear a thing while playing 3gp file while other formats work flawlessly.

Another question, when u guys login to hotmail.com

Can you access the full version or the classic version?

I'm stuck in classic version. the web page said it supported Firefox 1.5 but im already using 2.0



*fixed the problem above by changing [Gutsy] to [Firefox] in [general.useragent.vendor] in [about:config] in Firefox.

Apparently, Ubuntu developers badged their own name into the Firefox built in this release.

And umm..some of my favorite plugin for Pidgin. Shows what playing in your media player

That's a pretty good spec.
i wonder whats the problem.

lol. my ubuntu uses 7 gb

7 gb are for /.

1gb for swap.

It's more than enough actually. What do you wan wan to install in ubuntu.

Most of the programs in Ubuntu are relatively small compared to xp

I use my other partition for datas. mp3. movies. projects. and xp

Well, I'd say Ubuntu is user friendliest distro I've ever used.

And it's strong community deserves a mention. They are pretty helpful.
