I can't ssh the core hybrid because it is the only computer up at that point. The MD's are not running at that time.
Thanks

This intel motherboard dx38bt doesn't have on board video. I can't ssh to the computer because it is the hybrid / core. I will try the grub method.
Thanks

Users / SOLVED 9600 GT problem
« on: July 07, 2008, 12:59:01 am »
I installed a 9600 GT and found out the current video driver doesn't support it. I updated to the latest driver 173.14.09 but the video card stops working right when the kubuntu screen starts. All I get is a blank screen. I have tried pressing the shift key after the decending beeps but no luck. I have used a custom xorg.conf and the generic xorg.conf. Any ideas?
Thanks
Thanks

« on: July 02, 2008, 02:15:37 am »
Sorry for the major post chopping, but this is my understanding as well. IMHO, and what I plan to do, buy an Insteon controller, and buy devices that make sense. x10 for some, Insteon for others. This way you can get all the cheap bang for your buck items that you might not be willing to pay the Insteon premium for, ie x10 kitchen lights, but still be able to buy Insteon stuff for when you need the better and more reliable items such as HVAC or Security systems.
This route makes sense to me.

I have a 7300GT card in a MD and a 7300 LE in the core, both with 512 MB. I too see alittle tearing but it is bearable. It seems like every 2 - 3 days the stuttering starts and I reload the router, then it is OK. Has anyone used the 9600GT?

Installation issues / Re: LinuxMCE won't display on my TV!

I have a westinghouse 42" lcd with the 1366*768 native resolution. Nvidia will only let you setup the resolution in multiples of 8. So I use 1360*765. Here is part of my xorg.conf.

I changed the edid to true, setup a modeline and set dpi = 96*96.
Also read your Xorg.0.log to see what is going on....that is where I got my modeline....came from the edid. Good luck.

It sounds like to me that Insteon maybe the way to go. It has x10 compatibility plus dual network support but the cost is higher.
