(It broke on the upgrade from Hardy to Jaunty and it took me ages to find out that the breakage was a deliberate feature removal by the xorg project!) Hopefully they'll fix multi-card in the future, but for now I'm back in business after following these instructions.Dennyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14307209599176271238noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6637736252081011583.post-68141066857456077742009-07-30T03:54:56.798-07:002009-07-30T03:54:56.798-07:00I just had some similar issues on jaunty with focu...I just had some similar issues on jaunty with focus being stuck in a window and not being able to click to another window. I followed your instructions except replaced hardy with intrepid and it worked a treat thanks! I didn't know my video driver so I ended up installing xserver-xorg-video-all/intrepid which somehow managed to install some jaunty packages but I haven't noticed any problems (yet).Matthttp://www.matthewsmith.id.au/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6637736252081011583.post-72283524376882007572009-04-10T00:06:00.000-07:002009-04-10T00:06:00.000-07:00TravisI *so* appreciate your instructions!

Especially Dual Head, which I need for work.<BR/><BR/>I have an intel 915GM chip set and used the i810 driver in hardy which is no longer available in intrepid. So this has to be (re)installed as well. Of course the xorg.conf driver line also needs to be changed to i810. <BR/>At least that's what works best on my Vaio VGN-TX2HPUnknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03877436966955023478noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6637736252081011583.post-65442464164981900902009-01-06T02:34:00.000-08:002009-01-06T02:34:00.000-08:00Thanks for the post.

I've been struggling with these very bugs in Intrepid since I upgraded it from Hardy. You'll see around the web lots of people having issues with textures of OpenGL applications (myself included). To fix this I also needed to downgrade Mesa, so you may want to add this line:<BR/><BR/>dpkg --purge `ls *mesa*.list | sed s/.list//`<BR/><BR/>Once I downgraded X and Mesa, everything was working perfectly!<BR/><BR/>Kindest regardsAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6637736252081011583.post-67457079327393083052008-12-31T01:55:00.000-08:002008-12-31T01:55:00.000-08:00@ Travis & dotancohen:I believe that the only ...@ Travis & dotancohen:<BR/>I believe that the only thing that matters here is RSS as if one just browse the site, they can always choose only VIM label. Maybe it would be valuable for some people if You, Travis, maintained a separate RSS channel only for VIM-labeled post? It would make everyone happy. :)Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14295971113235470412noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6637736252081011583.post-19370185584103147122008-12-13T09:05:00.000-08:002008-12-13T09:05:00.000-08:00While I appreciate your feedback, previous readers...While I appreciate your feedback, previous readers have often commented that they enjoy posts of all sorts here.

If the blog maintainer cannot respect his blog enough to keep if on topic, why should I respect the blog and how can I expect it to provide information that is important to _me_? If I want random bits of maybe-useful-to-me trivia then I'll visit Wikipedia's Random link. But if I am subscribing to a VIM blog, that is because I am interested in information specific to VIM.Dotan Cohenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10681425220170892579noreply@blogger.com
