Dual Monitor, Beryl and Fedora 7
I take it that "dual head" is just the Fedora version of dual monitor. I have tried several times in setting up dual head but when ever I do and restart the computer it can't start the X display server and i have to login in text mode and reset the X display config file (all be it with quite a few prompts from something that was trying the start the X displayer server).
I should probably try a lower resolution and see if that gets me started but the resolutions that I have been entering for the main and second monitor have been those that I have successfully used in Windows Vista. I set the main monitor (LCD) to 1680 by 1050 and the second to 1280 by 1024.
I have also tried to get Beryl (a visual display enhancer) working but it doesn't seem to want to cooperate. I have also tried to enable "desktop effects" in System -> Preferences -> Look and Feel -> Destop Effects but that too won't allow me to enable it. It just pops up and error saying "Desktop effects could not be enabled.".
I think I may have uncovered a clue with the chess game. When I try and enable 3D mode it displays this error:
Your system does not have the required software to enable 3D mode. Please contact your system administrator and ask them to install the OpenGL Python bindings and the GtkGLExt Python bindings.
You are still able to play chess in 2D without these packages.
I may have to install the above packages but I was under the impression the OpenGL was installed with Fedora. While trying to fix up my problems with not being able to get the dual monitor to work and getting the desktop effects to work I went out and downloaded and installed my graphics card driver. (NVIDA 7600 GT)
It seems to have installed. It appears under Applications -> System Tools -> NVIDIA X Server Settings.

Can anyone recommend the well-priced Remote Desktop utility for a small IT service company like mine? Does anyone use Kaseya.com or GFI.com? How do they compare to these guys I found recently: N-able N-central internet security software
? What is your best take in cost vs performance among those three? I need a good advice please... Thanks in advance!
I truly believe that we have reached the point where technology has become one with our society, and I am fairly certain that we have passed the point of no return in our relationship with technology.
I don't mean this in a bad way, of course! Ethical concerns aside... I just hope that as technology further advances, the possibility of copying our memories onto a digital medium becomes a true reality. It's a fantasy that I dream about all the time.
