Why you should read changelogs ..

By Mark | May 6, 2009

We were getting a new colleague at work. Always nice. Due to the fact we work on fedora machines and PC Maintenance only works with “the Other OS”, we maintain the babies ourselves. So by by, to fedora 8 and a fresh Fc 10 installation. Off course everything went very smoothly (waving to fedora maintainers and developers, a job well done!). But when I had to configure the xinerama screens I failed hopelessly. Always good to sit a moment and think off totally other things, like did Gaugain really cut of Vincent’s ear or is it just German propaganda.

And there it was “gnome-display-properties”! Without any xorg.conf hacking just clickertheclickclick dual screen setup.

<insert moment of silence>

I’m impressed works even with Ati drivers!
