However, it is not so simple how may looks at first glance. I get widget in glade under Egg Widgets tab and yes, clock is ticking when placed to GUI :) even several times. But I can't get it in my (any) project. If I include Clock Face Widget to my project my window appears blank no matter if Clock Face is alone on them or with other controls. Do I have to put libegg.so at some specific place or what else can cause this? Or I should include something to my gtk+ project options what I don't included, or set some switch in compiler? Additionally, I would like to know more informations about "marshallers" used here after creating dynamic library. Why is this for? And related, would this work as well on windows? Thank you for nice and useful tutorial.

I just had to add these lines to the "Files" section of xorg.conf: ModulePath "/usr/lib/xorg/modules/extensions/nvidia" ModulePath "/usr/lib/xorg/modules/drivers" ModulePath "/usr/lib/xorg/modules" I've also added Option "AddARGBGLXVisuals" "True" to the "Screen" section. I'm not sure if that is really needed, but it seems to work with no glitches so far, so I kept it. On my Ubuntu machine that option helps stabilize compiz a lot, but that machine runs 64bit distribution and has older video card. I’ve found the way to enable desktop effects on Fedora 10.

I've just put our company's exchange server name as SMART_HOST in /etc/mail/sendmail.mc, then m4 /etc/mail/sendmail.mc > /etc/mail/sendmail.cf and restarted the service. Since that worked I did not mess with it any more. And even more unfortunately, after all the efforts company decided to stick with SWBTracker because our other software division was using it and had no intentions to migrate. Now I am forced to run this nonsense in Wine. Unfortunately I have nothing to add.

Technically I can run anything on my local machine, cause I run the software at the development one remotely through ssh anyway, but for consistency it is better to have the same X server it would run on in production. I agree that latest Fedora is always for guinea pigs, but release is nowhere near, so everything would definitely stabilize by that time. As for me, I run Ubuntu on my home machine, and Debian on the home server, although it is a stretch to actually say I run the server. The damn old scisi drives are so loud that I can't stand the noise and it is down most of the time. Otherwise I would host this blog there.

Knowing that nvidia is a pain in the neck I stayed with vesa for installation, but the update did not run either. Plse tell me, why you stay with Fedora after such experience? Ubuntu 7.10 to 8.04 over the net ran 35minutes without a single problem, kindly asking at the end if samba.conf should be overwritten ;-) Me too with “Failed to update system. …”.

Note that sections Module and ServerFlags I've added later on trying to make 3D working. It does just under 500 FPS for glxgears, but direct rendering is not working, it falls back to software rendering. I do not really know if it's possible to make dri working at all. I have no time to mess with it right now anyway. Here’s xorg.conf. Note that sections Module and ServerFlags I’ve added later on trying to make 3D working.

Hope they will fix it soon. As of beta nvidia, isn't it 2D-only at this time anyway? I am not very kin of binary blobs, so I do not see a point to be guinea pig for the big guys. Couple of years ago there was a bug in nvidia driver which would crash X if you simply try to display certain strings of characters. It took months to get it fixed and there was no communications. You could not even tell if somebody actually acknowledged its existence, least working on solution. All this secrecy just makes me sick. If there was an alternative I'd never buy a card from them. Unfortunately the situation is pretty much the same with ATI, and Intel only available as on-board. Yeah, something wrong with Noveau site, indeed. Hope they will fix it soon.
