    Virtual Desktops like Gnome's for WinXP?

    lol! if there was a way to integrate chimera into the taskbar, it would solve my problems, but it has to have its own bar. i've been trying to find something similar to holesoft's BandIt, which lets you put things in your taskbar, but the company died a few years ago and theres no way to get a...

    Virtual Desktops like Gnome's for WinXP?

    I use linux a lot and really like the gnome virtual desktop feature, but it doesn't seem that there are any that come close for winxp. Does anyone know of one where you can integrate the desktops into the taskbar with icons of the workspaces that show thumbnails of what the workspaces contain? tia!

    hi, it says vesa driver in display settings, but fglrx is installed. i use xorg i believe, since I have an xorg.conf file in my /etc/X11/ folder. i've used Option "RandRRotation" before, but with the argument "yes" and "on". i'll try it with true, see if it works. and then i'll try what they...

    I posted this in Tech support, but I think this is a better forum.. I'm running Fedora core 4 with an sapphire ATI Radeon x800 gto. I have a 2005fpw, so I want to be able to use it in portrait mode at times. I believe the method is supposed to be xrandr, but it doesn't work for me. This is the...
