Searching back I do not find such a post. Perhaps you thought you had, perhaps it was not sent, or perhaps I am just incompetent at finding it. For the benefits of others, may I humbly request that you submit the posting again.

It was over in the alt.os.linux.ubuntu NG, where he asked the same question under a different subject line: Subject: Re: Resolution problem in Ubuntu My post was this one: Message-ID: <pan.2010.07.07.03.17.07(a)moria.lan> -- "Ubuntu" -- an African word, meaning "Slackware is too hard for me".

You've had difficulty finding a Linux distro that will work on old hardware and most recently, getting an nVidia driver to work for a 16mb Vanta video card. And now you want to get Compiz working? A video card with at least 64mb of VRAM is recommended by the Compiz team. -- Politician, n.: From the Greek "poly" ("many") and the French "tete" ("head" or "face," as in "tete-a-tete": head to head or face to face).

And I will tell you that debian is now running compiz just fine, this is where I'm a bit confused to why its working in debian but not in Ubuntu that is build on debian! Anyway, I like debian better:) -- Mvh / with kind regards JBJ (4920)

A couple of other folks have asked you to fix it. Your newsreader client is *NOT* deleting the "snip line" and all text after it. Your reply-text is showing up AFTER the previous poster's sigline, so your reply is appearing in the sigline. This means when a person selects the "reply" command/button, your reply is being snipped out completely. Do you know what a sigline (signature) is? It begins with the "separator line" (which consists of two dash characters, a space character, plus a line-feed), then whatever text after that. Your newsreader client is *broken* ... it's not cutting out the signature, i.e., the sig-separator-line and all text after it. Please fix it or use a *real* newsreader client. VVV ... separator line (dash dash space) -- Duct tape is like the force. It has a light side, and a dark side, and it holds the universe together ... - Carl Zwanzig <<< Remove YOURSHOES to email me >>> |
