jose_Xthat would be good newsNov 07 00:00
jose_Xalso, the quoted text points out that windows doesn't use the stronger sha.. what do they use?Nov 07 00:01
jose_Xanyone know?Nov 07 00:01
schestowitzI think I use SHA5 in ThunderbirdNov 07 00:01
schestowitzpgp uses it a lotNov 07 00:02

jose_Xjust looked recently at gpg.. i think it uses "CAST5" by default for symmetric key encryptions.. is that what you meant, schestowitzNov 07 00:04
Ender2070sha-1 is hardly "safe"Nov 07 00:04
Ender2070its as safe as md5Nov 07 00:04
jose_Xwikipedia said that a collision had not been foundNov 07 00:05
jose_Xshould that be fixed?Nov 07 00:05

_Hicham_schestowitz : thanks for answering meNov 07 00:19
lordtoranshipped desktop CPUs per year should be around 400 millions now, and ARM alone at ~2.5 billionNov 07 00:20
_Hicham_schestowitz : I didn't expect that kind of answerNov 07 00:21
lordtoranembedded is *huge* :-)Nov 07 00:21
lordtoranhowever all operating system data in that market is very unreliableNov 07 00:23
lordtoranfor real studies you have to pay fat €€€Nov 07 00:24
lordtoranCommercial and free linux together /might/ be around 50% over all segments if i read correctly between the linesNov 07 00:26

Ender2070the only OS worth it's salt is Plan9Nov 07 00:28
lordtoranit was renamed i thinkNov 07 00:28
Ender2070theres a plan9 derivitive, infernoNov 07 00:29

oiaohm_Hicham_: issue traditional package managers don't exacty work in all cases.Nov 07 01:22
lordtoranschestowitz, QNX is linux inspiredNov 07 01:22
_Hicham_oiaohm : what do u mean ?Nov 07 01:22
oiaohmPackageKit provides a interface back to them that may fill in the gap cases.Nov 07 01:22
_Hicham_that some package managers fail ?Nov 07 01:22
oiaohmYou install from source _Hicham_Nov 07 01:23
oiaohmWhat tracking is done _Hicham_Nov 07 01:23
_Hicham_u install from source using packagekit ?Nov 07 01:23
lordtorani think the embedded software market has shifted quite dramatically since 2005Nov 07 01:23
lordtoranthere were moe unix derivates back thenNov 07 01:23
_Hicham_that, I didn't know ofNov 07 01:23
oiaohmCurrently source packages cannot support all package format ou there _Hicham_Nov 07 01:24
oiaohmoutNov 07 01:24
_Hicham_packagekit doesn't work with source packagesNov 07 01:24
_Hicham_it just call the backendNov 07 01:24
oiaohmYet it can be interfaced with by source packages to install stuf.Nov 07 01:24
_Hicham_and the backend respondNov 07 01:25
_Hicham_how ?Nov 07 01:25
_Hicham_richard hughes didn't talk about this functionalityNov 07 01:25
lordtoranoiaohm, yes probably most embeddeds OSes lean to posix but aren't unixNov 07 01:27
lordtoranthere has to be some standard, i supposeNov 07 01:28
lordtoranmicrosoft on the other hand is relatively strong in not so deeply embedded systems like POS terminalsNov 07 01:30
lordtorantypically these are x86 but microsofts embedded line also supports ARM, MIPS and a few moreNov 07 01:31
oiaohm_Hicham_:  Big advantage is that package kit allows multi backends.  If someone want to be evil they can register there own for there own applications.  So able to add there own uninstallers.  There is more than 1 way to skin the cat.Nov 07 01:31
schestowitz_Hicham_: privacy for SlatedNov 07 01:32
schestowitzsee slates.orgNov 07 01:32

_Hicham_schestowitz : and privacy for _Hicham_ tooNov 07 01:33
oiaohmlordtoran: most lean to posix due to C.  C langauge is nicer in a posix envorment.Nov 07 01:33

lordtoranC and Unix, their common historyNov 07 01:34
_Hicham_schestowitz : I don't fear anythingNov 07 01:34
schestowitzNeither does DaemonNov 07 01:34
schestowitzHe'd bomb anything that stands in the way, even doctorsNov 07 01:34
_Hicham_schestowitz : DaemonFC is afraid from MuslimsNov 07 01:34
_Hicham_so if he ever sees me with a beard, he will wet his pants, hahahahahahahahaNov 07 01:35
oiaohmOk what is the beard issue.Nov 07 01:36
oiaohmYes for a Buddhist I know I am strange to have grown one.  But still its natural.Nov 07 01:36
lordtorani have a beard too, and I'm agnosticNov 07 01:36
_Hicham_oiaohm : PackageKit doesn't allow unknow backendNov 07 01:37
oiaohmI am part christian part Buddhist.Nov 07 01:37
_Hicham_oiaohm : it has a backend listNov 07 01:37
_Hicham_schestowitz : so this Slated is a Fedora contributor ?Nov 07 01:38
oiaohmYet nothing stops you making a package for distributions to add another backend does it _Hicham_Nov 07 01:38
lordtoranmy father is a buddhist and he sort of influenced meNov 07 01:38
lordtoranit's a very liberal way of looking at the worldNov 07 01:38
_Hicham_oiaohm : u have to submit the backend to packagekit.orgNov 07 01:39
_Hicham_oiaohm : I am gonna ask hughsie about this issueNov 07 01:39
_Hicham_oiaohm : if it is true, then it is a big security issueNov 07 01:40
_Hicham_oiaohm : and PackageKit is about security tooNov 07 01:40
_Hicham_oiaohm : so the user have to be dumb to install a non trusted packageNov 07 01:40
_Hicham_u can run but u can't hideNov 07 01:41
_Hicham_that is what Slated is doingNov 07 01:42
_Hicham_he is runningNov 07 01:42
_Hicham_but he won't hideNov 07 01:42
_Hicham_I am gonna find him sooner or laterNov 07 01:42
_Hicham_and can't hideNov 07 01:42
_Hicham_even Osama Bin Laden can't hideNov 07 01:42
oiaohmIts not a big secruity issue.Nov 07 01:43
oiaohmNo more than the secuirty issue of running multi reposistories now _Hicham_Nov 07 01:43

_Hicham_schestowitz : u can visit me whenever u wantNov 07 01:45
_Hicham_I have my mail in publicNov 07 01:45
_Hicham_and my phone number in publicNov 07 01:45
oiaohm_Hicham_: what is the secuirty difference between adding own repos and adding a extra package management system?Nov 07 01:45
_Hicham_so u r welcome anytimeNov 07 01:45
_Hicham_plus, I have nothing to hideNov 07 01:45
oiaohmIf you can find a difference then there is a secuirty difference of adding a extra backend to package kit.Nov 07 01:46
oiaohmThere is a difference for those making applications third party of course _Hicham_Nov 07 01:46
_Hicham_oiaohm : huge one, the extra package management  ( if it is closed source ) is a real risk, because u opened the door to unknown packagesNov 07 01:47
oiaohmSame with linking to a closed source repoistory _Hicham_Nov 07 01:47
_Hicham_it can do whatever it wants, once privilegies are grantedNov 07 01:47
oiaohmNone of the package manager are appling secuirty limitations.Nov 07 01:47
_Hicham_schestowitz : I think ur slated is just a cowardNov 07 01:48
oiaohmTo what the packages in the closed source repo can assign to themselves _Hicham_Nov 07 01:48
_Hicham_schestowitz : sorry, but that is my opinionNov 07 01:48
oiaohmThere is no secuirty difference _Hicham_Nov 07 01:48
_Hicham_oiaohm : no there is a huge differenceNov 07 01:48
oiaohmSo I can from a closed source repo replace the kernel.Nov 07 01:48
oiaohmThe pure core.Nov 07 01:49
_Hicham_oiaohm : which ur package manager, u can check what the package containsNov 07 01:49
oiaohmAnd current package management systems will allow.Nov 07 01:49
_Hicham_oiaohm : the proprietary one may trick uNov 07 01:49
oiaohmrpm deb all will allow.Nov 07 01:49
_Hicham_yes, it is ur decisionNov 07 01:49
_Hicham_u can add whatever repo u wantNov 07 01:49
_Hicham_but u know which packages are being addedNov 07 01:49
_Hicham_better, dpkg will even show u the pre/post install scriptsNov 07 01:50
*Tallken has quit ("Leaving")Nov 07 01:50
oiaohmIssue here you can already install stuff high enough that they can do what ever they like from a repo _Hicham_Nov 07 01:50
_Hicham_now, with a closed source package manager, u wouldn't even know what is it doing, u must debug itNov 07 01:50
oiaohmThe third party one does not have to be closed _Hicham_Nov 07 01:51
oiaohmJust not under the distributions control and support using packagekit to install parts compadibliey.Nov 07 01:51
cubezzzthe economy still feels very sluggishNov 07 01:52
_Hicham_oiaohm : so what is the package manager overwrites one of ur key librariesNov 07 01:52
_Hicham_?Nov 07 01:52
cubezzzbut I'm launching a CD anyway, yay :-PNov 07 01:52
_Hicham_at least, if ur using ur distro one, it will inform uNov 07 01:52
cubezzzall done with Linux toolsNov 07 01:52
oiaohmWhat do you think nvidia installers do now _Hicham_Nov 07 01:52
_Hicham_with another package manager, things may get really messyNov 07 01:53
oiaohmWithout tracking of any form _Hicham_Nov 07 01:53
_Hicham_nvidia installers are knownNov 07 01:53
oiaohmSo why do package managers update mesa and the like destorying the files they installed.Nov 07 01:53
_Hicham_people know what things are gonna be modified, overwrittenNov 07 01:53
_Hicham_they check for dependencies firstNov 07 01:54
_Hicham_that is the big differenceNov 07 01:54
oiaohmOnly can check for dependancies if package is registered _Hicham_Nov 07 01:54
_Hicham_of courseNov 07 01:54
_Hicham_i am not talking about external changesNov 07 01:55
oiaohm.run files and may other forms of cross distribution installers don't regester.Nov 07 01:55
_Hicham_who is the moron who will try to install closed source packages to system directories ?Nov 07 01:55
oiaohmSince there is no clean framework for them to register.Nov 07 01:55
_Hicham_it is up to the user to know what they are doingNov 07 01:56
oiaohmYou are thinking that closed source people will be insane.Nov 07 01:56
_Hicham_however, there is a great wrapper in Debian : fakerootNov 07 01:56
oiaohmIf they break system they will be hated.Nov 07 01:56
oiaohmYet they still need the means to do automatic updates.Nov 07 01:56
_Hicham_oiaohm : no, that they might break systemsNov 07 01:56
_Hicham_oiaohm : in this case, let install them into the home folderNov 07 01:57
_Hicham_like i do with gamesNov 07 01:57
oiaohmThat has limits.Nov 07 01:57
_Hicham_no system wide librariesNov 07 01:57
_Hicham_which limit ?Nov 07 01:57
oiaohmIf you have a 50 user system.Nov 07 01:57
oiaohmHow will you know that all 50 users have upto date versions.Nov 07 01:58
_Hicham_oiaohm : install it then to the /opt folderNov 07 01:58
_Hicham_oiaohm : isn't that feasible ?Nov 07 01:58
oiaohmSo you will have to manually check the opt folder.Nov 07 01:59
oiaohmOr do you want each program checking when they run.Nov 07 01:59
oiaohmBasically you have mess.Nov 07 01:59
_Hicham_check and notify meNov 07 01:59
oiaohmSame reason why we are not all using slackware.Nov 07 01:59
_Hicham_and i will decide if i am gonna update or noNov 07 01:59
oiaohmIn its first form.Nov 07 01:59
_Hicham_I hate automatic updatesNov 07 02:00

_Hicham_schestowitz : really, with an open heartNov 07 02:00
schestowitzI'll bring the coffeeNov 07 02:00
_Hicham_schestowitz : but be prepared for the pushup contestNov 07 02:01
oiaohm_Hicham_: there also needs to be a single interface for users to find out what the current status of the packages they installed.Nov 07 02:01
_Hicham_schestowitz : but ur friend Slated isn't welcome, because I don't like cowardsNov 07 02:01
schestowitzI'm gonna post some links now.Nov 07 02:01
schestowitzSlated is actually your friendNov 07 02:02
schestowitzYou don't know him apparently. His views are similar to mine on many issuesNov 07 02:02

schestowitzHe doesn'tNov 07 02:02

schestowitzRIAA, Bush, Ballmer.....Nov 07 02:02
_Hicham_schestowitz : must expose himself firstNov 07 02:02
schestowitzRead his political stuffNov 07 02:02
_Hicham_before thinking of exposing peopleNov 07 02:02
schestowitz_Hicham_: it's not hiddenNov 07 02:03
schestowitzHe doesn't hide itNov 07 02:03
schestowitzIt would be impolite for me to drop names, thoughNov 07 02:03
oiaohmI hate slated at times.Nov 07 02:03
_Hicham_schestowitz : I don't see any name on the siteNov 07 02:03
_Hicham_schestowitz : which is impolite for meNov 07 02:03
_Hicham_schestowitz : I don't read anonymous blogsNov 07 02:04
oiaohmLinus hates the hate of MS mostly because it destracts from focusing on the main problem improving Linux.Nov 07 02:04

_Hicham_schestowitz : why do u think that he is my friend ?Nov 07 02:08
oiaohmpackagekit is providing the framework to unify the fround end _Hicham_Nov 07 02:08
oiaohmSo allowing more than 1 backend _Hicham_Nov 07 02:08
_Hicham_schestowitz : yes, I have had the same experience across multiple distrosNov 07 02:08
_Hicham_oh no this was to oiaohmNov 07 02:09
oiaohmIt happens.Nov 07 02:09
_Hicham_oiaohm : I have used PackageKit on Fedora, openSUSE, Mandriva, and UbuntuNov 07 02:09
_Hicham_I have had the same experienceNov 07 02:09
_Hicham_except Mandriva, where the backend is not yet matureNov 07 02:10
oiaohmNow with packagekit it makes it possiable for a single design third party package management to look up what is installed.Nov 07 02:10
oiaohmAnd not install duplication  _Hicham_Nov 07 02:10
_Hicham_yes, exactlyNov 07 02:11
oiaohmSo making third party stuff smaller.Nov 07 02:11
oiaohmAnd lower secuirty risk.Nov 07 02:11
oiaohmNow it would be better of course if there was a unified one for third party.Nov 07 02:11
_Hicham_so maybe instead of calling the package manager directly, we will call packagekitNov 07 02:11
_Hicham_so if ever packagekit proposes a unified package format, ISVs will ships in it immediatelyNov 07 02:12
schestowitz_Hicham_: interesting, good stuffNov 07 02:12
_Hicham_schestowitz : what is good stuff ?Nov 07 02:13
oiaohmAnd once ISV have unified package format source packages can use that in there installer stage.Nov 07 02:13
oiaohmSo allowing everything over time to be cleaned up _Hicham_Nov 07 02:13
_Hicham_oiaohm : PackageKit will play the role of an intermediate between the installer and the native package managerNov 07 02:13
oiaohmWe just need to get there _Hicham_Nov 07 02:13
_Hicham_u just have to use PackageKit API when generating ur packageNov 07 02:14
_Hicham_but PackageKit doesn't support that for the momentNov 07 02:14
_Hicham_it does just basic callsNov 07 02:15
_Hicham_more advanced calls will be a pain to implementNov 07 02:15
oiaohmBasic calls are far nicer.Nov 07 02:15
_Hicham_how ?Nov 07 02:15
oiaohmThen having to embed support for every package manager in existance to query stuff _Hicham_Nov 07 02:15
oiaohmIn an installer.Nov 07 02:15
_Hicham_no, that wouldn't be in the installerNov 07 02:16
_Hicham_that will be in the backendNov 07 02:16

_Hicham_I don't agree with DebconfNov 07 02:29
_Hicham_it doesn't treat a package installation as a transactionNov 07 02:29

shreddarAlso, running 2 toolkits (not as bad as it was on my old computer) takes up more ram.Nov 07 05:13
oiaohmPoor aguement.Nov 07 05:13
shreddarYeah, I kept thinking about trying Krita.Nov 07 05:13
oiaohmSingle kde application you end up with most of kde anyhow.Nov 07 05:14
oiaohmWhy limit the pool of applications you can use.Nov 07 05:14
oiaohmIt particular a bad arguement to a person like me who use programs like blender shreddarNov 07 05:15
oiaohmIt has a complete unique tool kit all to its self.Nov 07 05:15
oiaohmPlatform netural toolkit of all things.Nov 07 05:15
oiaohmSo should I give up blender so I only use 1 toolkit ?Nov 07 05:16

oiaohmThe idea of limit toolkits is pointless if it means giving up useful applications shreddarNov 07 05:17
shreddarI just remember it being a real problem on my old computer.Nov 07 05:17
oiaohmThat was part Linux kernel being a drop kick.Nov 07 05:18
oiaohmPushing currently running applications binary out of ram to make room for it was kinda stupid.Nov 07 05:18
shreddarIt not as bad anymore though with cheaper RAM but I never forgot that.Nov 07 05:20
oiaohmMost of the applications I use are QT or opengl based.   Opengl based particular hates compiz at times.Nov 07 05:20
oiaohmFirefox is one of the frew exceptions.Nov 07 05:20
oiaohmOpenOffice is no more it has GTK and QT frount ends.Nov 07 05:21
shreddarReally, I guess that would explain things.Nov 07 05:21
shreddarI thought it was just better integrated.Nov 07 05:21
shreddarway better integratedNov 07 05:22
shreddarIt not just the Dialogs though other weird things have happened running GTK apps in KDE.Nov 07 05:24
shreddarThough they could've been bugs in Ubuntu.Nov 07 05:25
oiaohmhttp://code.google.com/p/gtk-qt-engine/  This here remaps GTK dialogs to qt ones.Nov 07 05:26
oiaohmIt reduces the numbers of different dialogs.Nov 07 05:26
oiaohmThere is not a mirror for QT to GTK.Nov 07 05:27
shreddarSo it make GTK apps use QT Dialogs?Nov 07 05:29
oiaohmYepNov 07 05:29
oiaohmLittle touches of intergration are all over the place in kde.Nov 07 05:30
shreddarI can't believe it. It keep looking for something to do that. All I found was KGTK (which barely worked).Nov 07 05:30

oiaohmThese days it maps to QT4 that is LGPL shreddarNov 07 05:34
shreddarThat's great about GTK to QT, Ubuntu needs to enable it by default.Nov 07 05:35
oiaohmThen they will have two tool kits.Nov 07 05:36
oiaohmThey cannot have that.Nov 07 05:36
oiaohmIe the stupidity of all this single toolkit crap.Nov 07 05:36
shreddarThey have that now.Nov 07 05:36

oiaohmAkonadi project is working with gtk application to common store pim information.Nov 07 05:43
oiaohmSo your data follows you.Nov 07 05:43
oiaohmMy problem I am not seeing the same kinds of intergration paths being started by the gnome guys.Nov 07 05:44

oiaohmNot all dialogs can be swaped for QT ones.Nov 07 05:50
oiaohmFor pritty common sence reasons.Nov 07 05:50
shreddarWhat about Open or Save dialogs?Nov 07 05:51
oiaohmIe application is allowed to alter dialog and will not take too kindly to them being replaced.Nov 07 05:51
oiaohmOpen and Save is in that cat shreddarNov 07 05:51
oiaohmYou would have noticed some gtk application tacking extra bits on to the open and save dialogs shreddarNov 07 05:52

shreddarSee that's a problem because with like firefox if you save in a folder in a location i uses the the nautilus settings to show the file and stuff and it's gets confusing when you go look for it with dolphin/konqueror or a Qt dialong.Nov 07 05:54

oiaohmReally the filemangement stuff should be a standard somewhere shreddar.  Nov 07 06:17
shreddarYeah, that's what I'm saying.Nov 07 06:17
shreddarLike it should be more separated from the the toolkit or something.Nov 07 06:18
shreddarFreedesktop.org should deal with this.Nov 07 06:18
shreddarBut they still haven't.Nov 07 06:18
shreddarReally the KDE folks just need to make a better web browser.Nov 07 06:19

oiaohmIt also using cairo for rendering that is also not stable.  But runs rings around the standard gtk way.Nov 07 06:33
shreddarI can't wait to see what Nokia and Mozilla make of this. I know Nokia has a huge interest in QT now, I wonder it they could get other companies interested.Nov 07 06:41

shreddarWhen qt-firefox finally comes out I think Kubuntu will increase in popularity. I think most people recognize KDE the best desktop on linux.Nov 07 06:46
shreddarBut like me they also recognize firefox as the best browser and gimp as the best image editor.Nov 07 06:48
oiaohmgimp does have its weakness.Nov 07 06:53
oiaohmgimp combine with krita is a very complete tool.Nov 07 06:53
shreddarYeah, gimp's 2 side bars being separate windows sometimes can be annoying and depending on the desktop can act up quite abit.Nov 07 06:57
shreddarThey should have a setting where they don't overlap each over.Nov 07 06:58
shreddarI like to have a big window for the image but then my 2 side bars are obscured when ever I switch to it.Nov 07 07:00

oiaohmAlso it has better tablet support.  each pointer on a table can be assigned a different brush or action with krita.Nov 07 07:37
shreddarYou can do that in Gimp too.Nov 07 07:37

shreddarAt first mine intuos worked like that but some update in ubuntu broke it.Nov 07 07:39

shreddarI haven't even tried it in Sabayon yet.Nov 07 07:42
shreddarI'm happy to here that Krita work with it too though.Nov 07 07:43

Eruaranschestowitz, I'm part of a group which is partnered with Acer, our own sales of new systems with Windows 7 bumped up a bit the first week of its release and then tapered off again. In general sales increases are due to a number of factors. Christmas is coming, consumer confidence seems to be returning... Windows 7 at most is bringing about a return to 'normal' sales of Windows systems, nothing exciting, just a relief frNov 07 13:31
EruaranThe desktop PC market continues to shrink while mobile devices flourish and consumers demand better battery life from notebooks and netbooks.Nov 07 13:31
EruaranIn this changing market Microsoft is losing that 'status quo' that it relies upon.Nov 07 13:32
EruaranARM is in an increasingly strong position.Nov 07 13:33
Eruaran(to take advantage of this)Nov 07 13:33
schestowitzExactly. Let me just do a postNov 07 13:35
EruaranBasically, Microsoft can make the best steam train they've ever made if they want. It doesn't matter. Everyone is moving to automobiles and aeroplanes.Nov 07 13:36
cubezzzhehNov 07 13:36
EruaranIt wont be "Linux" systems that people will buy. It will be branded products running on a Linux kernel. Consumers like to be sold brands, and that momentum is now building. Just think "Android".Nov 07 13:39
EruaranCanonical is also on the ball with that one, working hard to make "Ubuntu" a widely recognized brand.Nov 07 13:40

lordtoranschestowitz, yep, I had that from BNNov 07 19:03
ender2070__Hicham_ - just watch, it will become a defaultNov 07 19:03
_Hicham_ender2070_ : the default, I don't think so, it depends on distributionsNov 07 19:04
ender2070_schestowitz - i do believe redhat can be trusted, some of the kde team are aware of the mono issues tooNov 07 19:04
_Hicham_ender2070_ : look at epiphany, it was never the default browser in any distroNov 07 19:04
ender2070__Hicham_ - somewhat, the distros that care will filter the default gnome appsNov 07 19:04
schestowitz_Hicham_: I will post about Monome soonNov 07 19:04
schestowitzI need to organise the evidenceNov 07 19:04
Chips_B_MalroyTheir (MS) "ideas" have always been to copy someone elses ideas.  It used to be they stole from IBM OS/2, including the new voice dictation in Vista, which was put into Warp 4 in 1998.  That was about the last thing MS could "innovate" from OS/2.  So now the "ideas" must come from Linux and Apple.Nov 07 19:05
_Hicham_ender2070_ : even though the official browser at gnomeNov 07 19:05
ender2070__Hicham_ - exactly, i still think banshee will be a default but most probably wont include itNov 07 19:05
schestowitzBashee uses stuff that Microsoft explicitly labels a patent issueNov 07 19:05

schestowitzAs this shows, it collects all the worst ideas around copyright infringement – third-party liability, limited safe harbour rules, “three strikes and you're out”, anti-circumvention legislation etc. – and wants to make them mandatory in most of the developed world.Nov 07 23:32
schestowitzBut step back a minute, and notice what I've just written: the worst ideas around *copyright infringement*. And yet time and again ACTA governments around the world have insisted that this is not a copyright treaty, but a treaty to fight counterfeiting by large-scale, organised crime – it's even in ACTA's name.

schestowitzziggyfish: how so?Nov 07 23:33
ziggyfish where is the option to have the desktop spread across multiple monitors instead of cloning one. The only solution I can see is changing the Xorg configNov 07 23:33
schestowitzDid you get a driver in?Nov 07 23:33
schestowitzNoNov 07 23:33
schestowitzNo need, KDE can do thatNov 07 23:33

schestowitzDid you also install the driver? It's GUI onlyNov 07 23:37
ziggyfishThis module is only for configuring systems with a single desktop spread across multiple monitors. You do not appear to have this configurationNov 07 23:37

schestowitzI got some similar message before I installed the driver and enabled composite (need to restart X)Nov 07 23:41
schestowitzBe sure to restart X if you have just installed the driverNov 07 23:41
