<sirkha> hi, i have a program that says i need the xaw header files, i have installed xorg-x11 6.8 cvs
<sirkha> shouldn't those files be included?
<nekostar> hello guys :)
<nekostar> must say i like this thing :D
<nekostar> i was however wondering about xorg.conf a bit. i have 2 versions which i use eather now and again.
<nekostar> what i want to do is have both in my /etc/X11/ directory
<b33fc0d3> hey guys
<nekostar> then i want to choose which gets started.. so i was wondering what is the bit in gdm that would choose that, or is there a current method of changing b/t them
<b33fc0d3> i was just wondering, what are the advantages to moving to moular X ?
<ajax> nekostar: X -config <filename>
<b33fc0d3> modular*
<ajax> and then figure out how to get that switch into gdm (i don't know offhand, sorry)
<nekostar> lol thanx ajax i'll look into it thanx :)
<ajax> b33fc0d3: right now, not much win. in the future, since each individual module can have its own release schedule, you'll get updates and bugfixes faster
<ajax> right now it's mostly a win if you're looking to work on X itself, because it's much easier to work with the modules than with the whole tree
<b33fc0d3> ajax, so not even bug fixes cleaner code ?
<b33fc0d3> it's _just_ modularised ?
<ajax> b33fc0d3: 6.9 and 7.0 are identical code with different build systems
<b33fc0d3> ajax, oh well i guess it won't hurt to give modular a go
<nekostar> ah
<nekostar> hello again
<nekostar> if i define more than one server layout section in xorg, how can i convince my system to switch between them.. sorry for the n00bish questions >.<
<ajax> you might want to run 'X -help' to see what command line options exist
<ajax> you might see the -layout option there, for example
<nekostar> perfect, and thankyou again ajax
<nekostar> apparently its not that easy for me ajax :P ok im running ubuntu, which is using the gdm. so it seems i cant just use X -layout layoutanmehere to run my layout choice..
<mrkris> sorry if this is an obvious question, but is it a specific config option to allow dragging apps across displays?
<arrummzen_> Can I run xorg on Windows?
<ajax> not as such
<ajax> the Xorg server won't work on windows, but the libs and apps and stuff should, and there's a cygwin X server as well
<arrummzen_> Is there a compatable X server that supports mulihead Windows systems and has support for the GLX extension?
<ajax> cygwin probably works
<arrummzen_> The cygwin X server doesn't support muliple monitors.
<ajax> i guess you have your answer then
<arrummzen_> So there are no alternatives?
<ajax> there's a few commercial X servers for windows too; i don't know how well they work
<arrummzen_> I would perfer not to use a closed source sytsem.
<arrummzen_> but I guess ill have to.
<ajax> then you get to fix cygwin i guess ;)
<Ori_B> arrummzen_: then why are you using windows, if you don't want a closed source syste,?
<MacIver> arrummzen_: uh, you are using windows
<Ori_B> *system
<MacIver> btw, xdeep is free as in beer
<MacIver> X server for windows
<arrummzen_> Ori_B, only until I can get the Video Card driver working on this model.
<akem> hello
<JerJer> possibly odd question.... anyone know where I could look for info on getting tv out working on my mini-itx box without X?

<keithp> anholt: you prepared for tomorrow?
<anholt> I'm ready.

<keithp> anholt: we're starting at around 9am
<keithp> anholt: have you eaten yet this evening?
<ispiked> is there any reason X would be ignoring DisplaySize in xorg.conf?
<ispiked> ignoring == spitting out the wrong numbers in xdpyinfo |grep dim
<ispiked> man this is messed up.
