Hello folks,
Several days ago, I installed Ubuntu 9.10 onto my Acer Aspire 3100 laptop, running it alongside Widows Vista as a dual-bootable system. Creation of the Ubuntu boot CD went fine, and the installation onto my hard drive was flawless. Ubuntu opens and behaves as I would expect, except for one little problem.
For reasons unknown to me,…
I have a Samsung RC720 notebook with Intel Integrated Graphics and NVIDIA GeForce GT 520M.
As you can see it has two video adapters and Optimus is supposed to switch between them. But when I choose dedicated GPU in NVIDIA Control Panel and try to run, for example, GTA IV, it uses integrated graphics and I get very poor performance.
I have…
These are my requirements:
Can support latest DirectX/OpenGL standards
Dual DVI output required
Less than $100
Does not need to excel at gaming
Does need to provide hardware acceleration for Windows 7 and Visual Studio 2010 via WPF.
Bonus points:
Supported in OSx86 land.
Quiet and low power.
I tend to lean towards nvidia because I'm…
Hi
I've just build a 64bit Windows 7 PC but am unhappy with the piddly performance of the linksys USB wireless dingle I've used. Can anyone suggest a good PCIe alternative that will be stronger for connection and maybe faster. I dont see why my desktop should show a weaker performance on wireless than my laptop when its sat next to it or…
Going to move my stationary computer and hook it up to the TV. Which is far away from the wireless router. So i'm going to need a way to go on the Internet wirelessly from my stationary computer.
I was looking at some of those.. wireless pci adapter things. But i have no idea which one would be compatible with my computer. How can i…
VMWare hypervisor minimum requirements states that the minimum network requirements is:
one NIC, plus one for Management interface

It used to be possible to use 1 NIC only. Is anybody using the new versions of VMWare in this…
I have two NVidia graphics cards:
Quadro NVS 295 (PCI Express, dual DisplayPort outputs)
GeForce FX 5200 (PCI, DVI and VGA outputs)
I have three identical monitors, two on DisplayPort and one on DVI.
I'm on Ubuntu Hardy (and cannot currently dist-upgrade for separate reasons). I use the "nvidia" driver.
What's new is the…
When I boot up my desktop computer, which only has Linux on it, the video mode and/or console font gets switched four times:
When GRUB starts, it switches from 80x25 text to a graphical mode so it can draw a pretty background behind its menu;
GRUB then goes back to 80x25 text after I pick something from the menu;
When the KMS…
Hi,
I have a problem with the Creative Console EQ, I don't know if it's fixable or not (is the EQ software or hardware on these cards?).
Basically, I have enormous distortion with certain sounds in the 30 - 125 hz range. When this happens I get some sort of "frrzzzz" (sorry, I'm french and don't really know the correct…
This morning I noticed the text in Gmail (in Firefox 4) looked a little funny (kind of thin, maybe some color fringing). I went to work and thought it might be some ClearType issue or something with the way Direct way that FF4 draws to the screen. When I came back from work (I left the computer on), the problem was much…

Hey I been having some problems with artifacts in games. Sometimes textures flicker. Artifacts of various shapes and sizes show up usually after a couple games of dota 2. I built my computer almost exactly one month ago and it has been doing this pretty much from the start except before the artifacts I believe just…
Problem
Sometimes, recorded TV shows have no sound. This is of course very annoying because the recorded show is worthless.
Also, when switching channels while watching live TV, sometimes a channel has no sound. This is always solved by switching channel again and then back (most often, once will do the trick).…
I have never heard a satisfactory answer to this often misunderstood question, let me explain.
Lets say I have a sound card and earphones/speakers that can play back audio loud enough in most cases. This is great but the problem is that you always find people who do not know how to record audio, from Youtube…
I have Kubuntu 12.04 and two identical VGA monitors. One I plugged via DVI-VGA adapter into the DVI port of my discrete AMD Radeon HD 6670, the other into the VGA port of my on-board graphic card (Radeon HD 6410D).
After installing Kubuntu I got a black screen, so I booted with nomodeset and installed AMD's…
I installed ubuntu 12.04. All seemed well until I installed the nvidia driver. Then
crashola! This situation is untenable. It seems I cannot trust nvidia, and it seems that I cannot rely on ubuntu gurus to test 3rd party drivers. So, apparently some video card manufacturers do not care enough about the…
I have an Dell Inspiron 7110 that has a Sandy bridge i7 and a discrete graphics card (GeForce 525M) from Nvidia. I want to be able to use my 23' display at home throungh hdmi but Intel integrated graphics card does not work with hdmi (VGA is not an option).
I have tried bumblebee but it does not work.

Could anyone give an example of opening a stream such as a capture card and saving it to a file? There is very little documentation of vlc's api for sout and streaming. Beyond that, is there a programmatic way get a list of Capture Devices under windows? If there isn't, linux is an option.
Thanks.
One of our customers has asked if we can interface with a serial magnetic card reader/encoder from a old EPOS system. The device has no make only the MW-3170 model number.
Does anybody know how I can communicate with the device? I am currently looking for a programming manual on Google, without much…
Does anyone have any code they can share that will validate a credit card number before posting to API?
While im asking, are there going to be any issues from apple if I am selling tickets to a movie theater within my app?
Thanks in advance!
Hello,
I'm looking for an open source library or framework to process audio signal from a TV capture card. The idea is to detect TV ad spots and register the time and the channel where them happends. I never worked in something like this, so, any information, link, idea is welcome.
Thanks in advance!
