Nvidia delays UK LUG Tour
Not really, but it feels like it because I should be packing right now, but I could not resist updating to beta 10 of SUSE Linux Enterprise Desktop, which came out today, and then I noticed that Nvidia has released 8756 of their Linux driver, so I have to try to see whether it fixes a minor issue with Xgl I have been having, but these things seem to always cause me hellacious issues and yet I still cannot help but attempt the upgrade despite that every time it ends up causing me delays, near misses of flights and undue panic.
I’m guessing Novell provided you with a Dell business laptop but have you seen their latest XPS “home system”? http://www1.us.dell.com/content/products/productdetails.aspx/xpsnb_m1710
To quote the site it offers “a choice of brushed metal armor [red or black], a red backlit touchpad and three user-controllable lighting areas with 16 color choices.” I think the only thing Dell didn’t do was turn the Dell logo on the lid a “spinner.”
Xgl would probably fly with the optional 512MB Nvidia GeForce Go 7900 GTX graphics card, once the Linux driver was ironed out.
