Nvidia now works with AIGLX!

Byetzion 08/04/2007

Using Nvidia propriety driver version 9755 allows using AIGLX instead of the slower and deprecated GLX interface.

AIGLX nowadays is part of Xorg 7.1 and above.

You can find a guide in OpenSuse Wiki which will describe the required actions.

I have attached here my own xorg.conf file which allows Dual-head setup with 2 LCD screens running resolution of 1280×1024 for AIGLX: xorg.conf-Nvidia_AIGLX.txt

Good luck

***Update

It appears that it doesn’t work quite as well yet – at least not with the xorg.conf file I have uploaded here. You will require two additional lines, as described in Ubuntu forums. The up-to-date file is this: xorg.conf-Nvidia_AIGLX_fixed.txt

Bluetooth Mouse on my Ubuntu Laptop – an easy feat

Byetzion 19/06/2008

I was surprised at how easy it was. You need to do the following: 1. Find your mouse’s address using ‘hcitool scan‘ 2. Verify that you can pair the two devices using ‘sudo hidd –connect XX:XX:XX:XX:XX:XX‘ 3. Edit /etc/default/bluetooth, uncomment the additional line with the HIDD_OPTIONS and set it to be “–connect XX:XX:XX:XX:XX:XX –server” 4….

Let’s say you have old shelves of either EMC or NetApp with SAS or SATA disks in them. And let’s say you want to connect them via FC to a Linux machine and have some nice ZFS machine/cluster, or whatever else. There are few things to know, and to attend in order for it to…

VNC minimal server on RHEL8 / CentOS8 / OEL8

Byetzion 29/06/202125/07/2023

With the update to version 8 (or, if to be accurate, according to common documentations, 8.3 and above), VNC configuration has had a major overhaul, and it is entirely different. Most documentations will refer to using ‘gnome’ as the desktop manager, however – if you want something lightweight with minimal impact (both package-wise and performance-wise),…

Allow Postfix to call custom scripts by using mail aliases

Byetzion 11/01/202411/01/2024

Using custom mail aliases to run scripts is an existing practice. However, on modern Linux distributions it is blocked as a security risk. Following Postfix common guidelines do not allow for it to run the scripts. It reports the script as called, however – it does actually nothing. This has been verified on Oracle Linux…

Linux inetd and shell input redirection

Byetzion 11/07/2008

I was required to write a small listener. This listener doesn’t have to do anything fancy – it has to process input from a network source (over TCP) and shove it into a file with random name. The quick and dirty solution is to use netcat (nc). A short command such as this would do…

Preperation of recovery server for RPM based systems

Byetzion 23/07/2007

On most cases, when preparing a recovery server, you can just ‘tar’ the entire server’s contents and just move it, along with a short recipe on how to rebuild the original partition layout (software Raid? LVM? flat partition tables?), how to mount volumes in-place, how to extract the tar files into the right locations, and…
