Hrrrm... What if someone made the same argument to Guido back in 1991, "This whole Python hobby is cool and all, but unless your time is worthless, use Perl"? :)
Thanks to Savvas for the config! I've been meaning to try quad-buffered stereo in linux, now it's a bit easier. I looked at that Xorg config file, there really isn't anything that exotic in there, but I know how tricky it can be to find "that one" undocumented switch somewhere. However, for people used to Linux, it's nothing that weird. -Nick On 5/18/07, DeLano Scientific <del...@delsci.info> wrote:
Savvas, Thank you for aggregating and posting that information. Just so everyone knows, it is possible to do this on a CRT/LCD-dual-headed Mac Pro with the Quadro FX 4500 graphics card. Having recently set this up for myself, I can attest to the fact that "it just works" without mucking with config files. However, the Mac price is signficantly higher because Apple only offers a high-end stereographics solution -- nothing but the best, I guess. Thus, in bottom-line terms: If you have more time than money, lean toward the Linux-based solution. If your time converts to money, then weigh acquisition costs vs. management costs. If you have more money than time, then lean toward a Mac-based solution. > -----Original Message----- > From: pymol-users-boun...@lists.sourceforge.net > [mailto:pymol-users-boun...@lists.sourceforge.net] On Behalf > Of Savvas Savvides > Sent: Friday, May 18, 2007 12:20 AM > To: o-i...@o-info.bioxray.dk > Cc: jan.st...@ugent.be; bert.remme...@ugent.be; > pymol-users@lists.sourceforge.net > Subject: [PyMOL] SUMMARY: CRT/TFT dual configuration with the > nvidia FX3500 > > Dear colleagues: > > we would like to thank Carsten Schubert, Karin Fritz-Wolf and > Oliver Einsle for reaching out to help us with our > configuration of CRT/LCD dual monitors using an Nvidia FX3500 > under RHEL4.
