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

Kernel update – 2.6.14.2

Based on my own blog’s entry (what good are blogs if not to hold some long forgotten knowledge?), which can be found here, I’ve upgraded my kernel…

I’ve been busy, so it’s a long one.

It has been long time since I’ve written here before. I got lazy, but I have few new things to share with whoever reads this blog, and myself, for future reference. First – I’ve got a nice VGA card from a friend of mine, a nice looking TI8200 x8, which is a great upgrade comparing…

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….

Orinoco_pci finally working correctly!

Byetzion 09/03/2006

After upgrading my laptop to 2.6.15.1 kernel, hibernation worked flawlessly. Running my previous version of kernel – 2.6.14.2, I have had some hibernation instabilities. I’ve had some memory corruptions here and there, which would have required I reboot the machine. So far, and it’s been a while, I’m glad to say I had no reason…

Making diving video colours better in Linux

Byetzion 02/03/202227/01/2023

Diving videos tend to be blueish. There are tools to automatically fix it, or at least – enhance the video so that the colours appear more natural. Unfortunately, most of these tools either don’t work well with Linux, or with my phone. After a short investigation, I was able to produce a satisfactory result with…
