« fairly un-eventfull week | minor updates » |
I finally got Ububtu functional on my computer (^_^)
trouble has been with my video card being um...new...
I have a Nvidia 8800gts...Linux drivers are a bit slow in their creation it would seem and i did not have the knowledge to compile one on my own.
Thus far i'm doing ok in using it - its a bit faster than windows for sure but i expected that - I get better FPS in SecondLife but some of that is the fact that again...the software for Linux is lacking a bit in its updates so SL doesn't render as pretty as it does in windows - I may set up a special windows install in a partition Just for SL.
Been a bit of a learning curve in how to edit the xorg file - still need to map in my mouse buttons...But all in all things are doing good so long as i don't manage to bork the config files too much out of whack so that i cant put things back together if i break it.
