18:49.27 | JeffM2501 | how did your display work out? |
18:50.49 | JeffM2501 | I'm sick of his sit |
18:50.52 | JeffM2501 | shit even :) |
18:51.43 | orchid | well, still at 1600x1200, ive gotten a much better card now, a leadtech WinFast A400 TDH |
18:51.57 | orchid | yeah I'm not in the mood to deal with him |
18:52.15 | JeffM2501 | there should be no reason to "deal" with him |
18:52.22 | orchid | but I cant get X working at 1920x1200 |
18:52.27 | JeffM2501 | hmmm aribeth did |
18:52.56 | orchid | yeah so there is hope |
18:53.04 | orchid | and she has the same card almost |
18:53.21 | orchid | she has 6600 this is 6800 I think |
18:54.17 | orchid | http://episteme.arstechnica.com/eve/ubb.x/a/tpc/f/96509133/m/950007922731/r/547007732731#547007732731 |
18:54.23 | orchid | this is worrying though |
18:54.37 | JeffM2501 | they should be allmost the exact same chipset |
18:54.48 | orchid | the guy says you cant do more than 1600x1200 unless you have dual dvi |
18:55.01 | JeffM2501 | I've never ever heard that |
18:55.12 | orchid | ok, maybe hes wrong, I dunno |
18:55.40 | JeffM2501 | dell would not sell a display that needed a special card |
18:55.49 | orchid | ok |
18:56.04 | JeffM2501 | you 2 running the same X? |
18:56.09 | orchid | no |
18:56.16 | JeffM2501 | she newwer? |
18:56.16 | orchid | shes on gentoo wih xorg |
18:56.24 | JeffM2501 | hmm |
18:56.40 | orchid | I'm using XFree86 Version 4.3.0.1 |
18:56.55 | JeffM2501 | dell's support site have any info? |
18:57.04 | JeffM2501 | don't they offer redhat as an option? |
18:57.14 | orchid | I havent looked, I assumed they wouldnt have linux |
18:57.21 | orchid | nope not anymore |
18:57.30 | JeffM2501 | IIRC they offer it on there servers |
18:57.37 | orchid | oh maybe |
18:57.56 | JeffM2501 | it was an option when I ordered the new hardware for a server here |
18:59.59 | JeffM2501 | they have a number of linux howtoos |
19:00.03 | JeffM2501 | including debian |
19:00.06 | orchid | hmm |
19:00.17 | JeffM2501 | in the tips and hints |
19:00.29 | JeffM2501 | slap in the service tag on that sucker and see what info they got :) |
19:01.10 | orchid | ah ok |
19:01.24 | orchid | I wonder what my service tag number is |
19:01.29 | orchid | its a sticker? |
19:01.32 | JeffM2501 | yeah |
19:01.40 | JeffM2501 | somehwere near the dell logo sticker |
19:06.56 | orchid | hmm, no number with "service tag" on it |
19:10.23 | JeffM2501 | maybe they only put those on systems |
19:14.09 | JeffM2501 | is there a newer X for debian? |
19:24.18 | orchid | nah, xorg will go into Sid but not untill they release sarge |
19:24.23 | orchid | so, never :) |
19:24.31 | JeffM2501 | heh |
19:24.40 | JeffM2501 | there has to be a way to do it |
19:24.53 | JeffM2501 | I think it's that X dosn't know the display can do higher |
19:27.49 | orchid | yeah that seems to be the reason |
19:28.13 | orchid | <PROTECTED> |
