As root, or via sudo, run: /sbin/lspci -nnvb | grep -i VGA -A 100 | grep -i "kernel module" -B 100 -m 1 That should adequately identify your graphics chipset. Eyeballs aren't scriptable.

Transparent KCLUG-Tux

I needed a transparent background png of the KCLUG Tux logo, and I couldn't find one, so I just made one with The GIMP. http://kclug.com/wiki/index.php/Image:Tux-KC.png Use it as you see fit.

Re: Wacom Bamboo Tablet

I have no idea why it cares, but it does. On a related note, I've got a Nvidia card capable of driving three displays: One SVideo and two over DVI-I ports. Unfortunately the vendor's binary drivers removed the capacity for driving that third display, limiting TwinView to just that - Twin Views. I'll come back with more details later to see if there's a solution, but I'd like to point out that the nvidia-settings app that controls xorg and its config can make on-the-fly changes to which configured screen is activated, among other things (resolution etc). I regularly have to disable my second monitor to enable my TV-out - takes all of 15-20s, and goes away on the next X restart.

Wacom Bamboo Tablet
by Jim Herrmann 01 Jan '09

01 Jan '09

I got my daughter a Wacom Bamboo tablet for Christmas. It works, and we figured out how to get pressure sensitivity working in GIMP, so it's fairly useful. However, the eraser doesn't seem to work, and there are also extra buttons on the Bamboo that don't seem to do anything in linux. The configuration information on the intertubes seems to be obsolete, like 2005ish. X is no longer configured with etc/X11/xorg.conf apparently. This is on Ubuntu 8.10. Does anyone have a Bamboo tablet and have everything working? I'd appreciate any input. Thanks, Jim -- - That One - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rCUOHKznUyI
