Danny is a very bright young man with a great future and a very lovely lady-friend too!<br><br>Now I am a little more comfortable with the idea, I look forward to coming along to more meetings in the future. There is the little matter of making a contribution to the events, which I was unable to do last night. Perhaps you could let me have some idea about 'subs' and I'll pitch in.<br><br>A very good night, thank you again.<br><br>Bob.<br><br><div style="font-family: times new roman,new york,times,serif; font-size: 12pt;">----- Original Message ----<br>From: Michael Erskine

First, thanks to Danny for his talk on web development.<br><br>Next, for the bloke with the screen refresh rate problem in Ubuntu -
this <br>could either be a simple fix by putting the correct horizontal and
vertical <br>rates for your monitor in xorg.conf or it may be a symptom of using the
<br>proprietary nvidia driver with the twinview support on by default* <br><br>Assuming the former problem, you'll need to edit xorg.conf and the
quick way <br>is to just use the technique outlined in <br><a href="http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread..php?t=435287" target="_blank">http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=435287</a> which is to run...<br><br>gksudo gedit /etc/X11/xorg.conf<br><br>...then edit the monitor section HorizSync and VertRefresh values to
fit those <br>in your monitor manual, e.g. : -<br><br>Section "Monitor"<br> Identifier "DELL M782"<br> Option "DPMS"<br> HorizSync 30.0-80.0<br> VertRefresh 56.0-75.0<br>EndSection<br><br>...then restart X (quick way is Ctrl-Alt-Backspace) and that may be it
solved.<br><br>If not, then there's quite a lot of talk about the nvidia driver
twinview <br>feature which can also cause this problem (see <br><a href="http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=435287" target="_blank">http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=435287</a>)<br><br>Let us know if that fixes it - if it doesn't, I'm happy to pop round
and try <br>and fix it (free of charge of course).<br><br>Reagrds,<br>Michael Erskine.<br><br>* see <br><a href="https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux-restricted-modules-2.6.20/+bug/92599" target="_blank">https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux-restricted-modules-2.6.20/+bug/92599</a><br><br>-- <br>The glances over cocktails<br>That seemed to be so sweet<br>Don't seem quite so amorous<br>Over Shredded Wheat<br><br><br><br> <br>___________________________________________________________ <br>Inbox full of spam?
