Re: dual nvidia problems
i have two pci-e x16 slots and the motherboard supports nvidia-SLI i see only the 8400. if i swap the cards, i see only the 8600. i have a bios option which should start the second card or the first card but it seems to have no effects.

Re: dual nvidia problems
ok, it was a problem of jumpers on the motherboard. i am now able to start an X-server on the left card using X -layout LeftMonitor , then i start an x-server on the right monitor using X :1 -layout RightMonitor the problem is: if i press ctrl-alt-f7 i see only the left monitor. if i press ctrl-alt-f8 i see only the right monitor. is there a way to make them both work at the same time ?

RE: Hebrew calendar software creators: can you notify this list when updating the calendar?
I intend to file the following report. Any comments?
Package: bsdmainutils
Version: 8.0.11
Severity: normal
Tags: patch
calendar.judaic was last updated in 2007. Due to the nature of
the Jewish calendar, it renders the file unusable. To address the
difficulties facing the maintaner, a python script is included. This
script offers the maintainer a way to create the file as required.
The script is not limited to a single year. Just enter the desired
year as an argument in the command line. I suggest to keep this
script in the Debian directory of the source package.

I still believe that the whole approach of having holidays of a single year (it doesn't matter if 2007 or 2010) is wrong. It not only means that the distro needs to update this list every year, it also means that you can't find out when next year's holidays are (and sometimes next year could be next month). So I'd look for a way to somehow use a calendar.judaic file which contains holidays for multiple years (I have no idea if that's possible). If you absolutely can't, I have another idea: Instead of putting a fixed file for 2010 in the distro, and have the distro update it in 2011, why not have the distro include the *script*, which will be run automatically once a year via a cron job?
