| somian | I managed by apparent sheer accident to make Xinerama and two heads work, then i rebooted ... and never again. Goddam Intel driver + i810 appears to never understand "I just want to have my laptop screen on, please!" |
| fotoflo_ | is Xinerama a window manager? |
| somian | No, it's an extension to X |
| rindolf | Hi somian |
| fotoflo_ | sounds like you actully have a software problem :-) |
| somian | It's all remarkably confusing. Speaking of which, why has my keyboard map fixed itself? " suddenly works ;-) Stuff is fixing itself or changing itself ... tracking Fiesty Fawn suddenly seem ... like a lot of work and stress. |

| somian | drivers are hardware problems in my lexicon. |
| fotoflo_ | you got a back up ready? err ok, we differ on that - bad ram is a hardware problem in my lexicon |
| action | somian tries to brace himself to reboot yet again ... I don't want to edit xord.conf anymore, please don |
| somian | tries to brace himself to reboot yet again ... I don't want to edit xord.conf anymore, please don t make me ... i'll tell you anything you want to know ... bad ram is a hardware problem in my lexicon too. but so are driver issues. |
| fotoflo_ | lets agree to disagree on that one |
| somian | NO! You are WRONG and you HAVE TO ADMIT IT NOW!!!! |
| fotoflo_ | ok, well, with a hardware problem, it dosnt matter what software you run, what drivers you have, how many times you lick the OS's clit, youre not going to fix it until you swap in new hardware swap a driver and its fixed? THAT, my friend, is a software problem |
| mauke | maybe it's a software solution to a hardware problem |

| fotoflo_ | waits for somian to cry uncle I have a software problem: i am trying to write perl code that interacts with a mailserver, but i dont really know how to setup a mailserver properly.... thats more of a "i'm a programmer not a sysadmin" problem |
| kd_ | just point it at a system available to you then make the sysadmin nut out the config later |
| fotoflo_ | i dont have a system available to me except my own err dinnetime time to forget about all this terrible postfix config stuff and check out my friend's new apartment |
