Re: Q: Recommended graphics cards?

2001-01-13 Thread Bruce Burden 

 
 What would one consider with the Gimp, and not games, in mind?
 What card and what amount of ram?
 
I would first look at the www.xfree86.org web site, and make
   sure that any graphics card I choose if supported by XFree86
   drivers AND NOT MANUFACTURERS DRIVERS! Aside from blowing the whole
   concept of "open software", you never know when a manufacturer will
   decide "this isn't worth it", and bail on you.

Once you have a list of cards in mind, I woud choose the one
   with the highest RAMDAC (clock speed) and memory your budget allows.
   Matrox cards and Riva TNT based cards seem to be well supported, 
   if you are looking for specific recommendations.

   Why didn't a .gimprc file get created?

Have you checked $GIMP_DIRECTORY/gimp/gimprc?

HP 1220 working under GIMP?

2000-09-13 Thread Bruce Burden 



   Hi All,

Has anybody managed to get the HP 1220C printer to print at
   anything other than 150x150 dpi? If I try 300x300 dpi with a color
   image, all I get is black and white streaks... My HP1220 is connected
   to a HP JetDirect, if it matters any. Oh, yes, this is under GIMP
   1.1.25.

Also, is anybody working on going beyond 300x300 dpi for this
   printer? It is capable of 1200x1200 dpi, after all...

Thank you,
Bruce
