I have a dell inspiron 8200 laptop running centos 4.1 just fine. I want to connect it to an external 32 inch LCD. This laptop is dual boot windows. I set windows up to 1024x768 and connected the LCD - it worked just fine. LCD max is 1333x768 I then booted Centos 4.1 and set X to be 1024x768 also. rebooted the laptop just ot make sure. I then connected the LCD and it says can't display

...lutions, SCSI can _not_ compete. Hence, again, the evolution to SAS. Parallel is dead, because it's much better to have a number of point-to-point devices with direct pins to a PHY to a wide ASIC than a wide bus that is shared by all devices. And these 10K RPM SATA models are rolling of the _exact_same_ fab lines as their SCSI equivalents, with the same vibration specs and MTBF numbers. They are not "commodity" [S]ATA drives, of which many 7,200rpm SCSI drives are even now sharing (and share the same 0.4Mhr MTBF as commodity [S]ATA). -- Bryan J. Smith mailto:b.j.smith at ieee.org

...elined) IA-32 Gen 3 (1994): i686, Pentium Pro, II, III, 4 (partial refit) - Superscalar: 2+2 ALU+FPU (pipelined), FPU 1 complex or 2 ADD - P3 = +1 SSE pipe, P4 = +2 SSE pipe Intel hasn't revamped it's aging i686 architecture in almost 12 years. the Pentium Pro through Pentium III are the _exact_same_ 7-issue (2+2+3 ALU+FPU+controll) design (the P3 slaps on one SSE unit), and the Pentium 4 was a quick, 18-month refit of longer pipes (with associated reduction in ALU/FPU performance MHz for MHz) that extended pipes for clock (and added a 2nd SSE unit). I'm sure Intel's reasoning for not...

.... Example 2: NV1x-era Windows XP with NV40 card Just this past April, I loaded _Windows_XP on a brand new Athlon64 3200+ system with a GeForce 6800GT (NV40) card. XP detected a GeForce compatible card and loaded the driver from when the NV1x series was current (GeForce2 era). I experienced the _exact_same_ issues in XP until I grabbed the latest WHQL driver for XP. Example 3: NV4x-era Xorg (FC3) with NV40 card Now on the _very_same_system_, I loaded Fedora Core 3 AMD64 which includes a newer Xorg release with not only NV40 (GeForce 6800), but even some NV41/43 (GeForce 6200/6600) and the latest NV...

...should always be an option - that's one of the > big reasons for using open source. But sometimes people switch distros out of "brand name blame" instead of actual "technical focus." I don't know how many times I've seen people argue over 2 distros that use the _exact_same_ base! I've literally had people argue to death that APT is Deb-centric, and the RPM world doesn't have anything equivalent. And sometimes I think people aren't "up-to-date" on different distros because they used one from years ago, and their preference more currently. As som...
