Has anyone achieved yes, i've tried it out, and it looks so cool. were you using transset to get transparency and shadows? it could just be that, because transset is simply a hacked up demo program. well, i dont really know what could be the problem, but one thing does come to mind: by default, "glx" is disabled when you enable composite, to enable it, add Option "AllowGLXWithComposite" "true". to the nvidia device config in xorg.conf... but beware that this is unstable. i'm using composite with glx right now, and seems to run fine on my P4 - 1.7Ghz, Nvidia Gforce4MX, gentoo. hope this helps. sagar -- Sagar Gokhale -- __ Pune GNU/Linux Users Group Mailing List: ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) List Information: http://plug.org.in/mailing-list/listinfo/plug-mail Send 'help' to [EMAIL PROTECTED] for mailing instructions.
Re: [PLUG] Distro query
Reply inline. > Chip has Gentoo Which stage ( 1 or 2 ) does chip carry? > What say debian sarge packages not up to fedora 3 or Suse 9.2 . They are distributing only the 1st dvd. A lot of packages are available ( 6600 or something close ), but a lot of devel packages are on the 2nd dvd. So if you don't compile a lot of stuff, the sarge distribution is good. A word of caution though. Sarge has an option of 2.6 or 2.4 kernel. In the 2.6 kernel, the sound on i810 does not work. I'm not sure about the 2.4 kernel. Also, read the ( long ) thread on debian sarge on the list just a few days ago. Otherwise, the installer rocks when compared to the woody installer. I think its the new installer from ubuntu linux ( www.ubuntulinux.org ). > If one wanted to go a little away from the rpm well trodden path > where would one go ? My opinion, slackware.

[PLUG] Petition Regularization of Broadband Services in India
You can sign it here: http://www.petitiononline.com/trai/petition.html To: Telecom Regulatory Authority of India To, The Chairman, Telecom Regulatory Authority of India (TRAI) Dear Mr.Chairman, We, the customer of so called "Broadband" services provided by the so called "Broadband" Internet Service Providers (ISPs) petition you to take action against these ISPs for not providing broadband connections yet marketing their services as broadband that is misleading the consumers and bringing disrepute to broadband. We would like to bring to your notice that TRAI has defined a broadband service as "An always-on data connection that is able to support various interactive services, and has the capability of a minimum download speed of 256 Kbps." When these ISPs provide connections at 40 Kbps how can they claim it to be broadband. We want TRAI to take action against such ISPs. We would also like to remind TRAI that the broadband sector will not grow if such unscruplous service providers are allowed to cheat consumers. We hope TRAI in the interest of consumers and the future of broadband services in India takes an efficient and quick action and regularlizes broadband services in India.

Re: [PLUG] Petition Regularization of Broadband Services in India
Hi, I've signed it. Can you also mention in (modify) the petition the practice of limiting your downloads to a monthly/annual "quota" in MBs which defeats the purpose of broadband anyway? Many providers limit your download to 200-300 MB per month. That will preclude me from downloading ISOs of Linux distributions and other Free software packages which will amount to a few GB per month in my usage case... (and Im sure other enthusiasts will be frustrated similarly)...

Re: [PLUG] Petition Regularization of Broadband Services in India
Hi again, I've signed it and mentioned the quota limit thing in my comments but I was wondering if you can modify the petition to include it in there. Another thing is the title says "Regularisation" (yes i know its with a 'z') and if any TRAI people read it they might mistake it for "Regulation" :-) Just a thought... but its no big deal. Great idea for a petition, it should have been done long long long ago...! Any idea if we can get an indication if/when this actually reaches TRAI people (and maybe also the bosses at the ISPs)?

Hi, There was an article in the Times of India (Pune edition) this Saturday Dec 11 titled "BSNL announces broadband" Some bits from there: "Initially, it will start with a hi-speed Internet access (with an upstream speed of 256-640 kbps, and a downstream speed of 2-8 mbps)..." "Customers can start registering for the service immediately at the BSNL customer service centres at 10 telephone exchanges in the city. They include Bajirao road, Bhavani Peth, East Street, Airport road (Yerwada), Maharishi Karve exchange (Nal Stop), Model Colony, Chandra Bhavan building (Pimpri), Bhosari MIDC, Shivajinagar and Veer Savarkar Bhavan." "Earlier BSNL was to launch broadband services in Pune, along with Bangalore and Kolkata, ahead of the rest of the country. However, after a number of false starts and postponements, it never happened." (because its implementation partner I-Spatial had financial hiccups) I can hardly wait for the service to start in Pune and in my exchange in Hadapsar... But I will remain skeptical (especiall the reporter's claim of 2 mbps!) until I see a real live working connection of at least 256 kbps and I will be very *frustrated* and disappointed if there is a ridiculous quota/limit such as 200-300 MB per month! I estimate I will need around 4-5 GB per month to be really happy :-) Cheers, Vishal -- "Thou shalt not follow the null pointer for at its end madness and chaos lie." -- __ Pune GNU/Linux Users Group Mailing List: ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) List Information: http://plug.org.in/mailing-list/listinfo/plug-mail Send 'help' to [EMAIL PROTECTED] for mailing instructions.
