There used to be (around 15 years ago) something very basic called
mx which did just that. Was intended to be used in classrooms where
the instructor could play with an X application and the students could
see it on their own X11-terminals.

I can't find it now - the name is apparently too short.

The displays had to be all with the same properties (color depths etc)
since all it did was to multiplex the X11 protocol messages to
multiple displays.

Could this be it?

[OT] Looking for a website conversion contractor/company

2009-11-11 Thread ronys
Hi,

I'm looking for a person or company to convert a mostly static website (hmtl + 
SSI) to a modern CMS.

The project includes:
- Designing a front page to replace the current one
- Designing a template for the contents
- Converting/importing a respectable part of  3000 existing html files (mostly 
Hebrew) to the new system.

We're currently satisfied with our hosting provider, but are willing to 
consider switching as part of the solution.

The project is for a non-profit organization (amuta) with a limited budget.

Finally, all other things equal, I'd prefer an open-source solution to a 
proprietary one.

TIA,

  Rony

 Specifically (quting from there) -
 
 Display  Graphics:
 
   Intel GMA500 graphics acceleration
 Full hardware video acceleration of H.264, MPEG2, VC1, and WMV9
 DVI Digital output up to 1920 x 1200 through HDMI connector
 
 So you have the chipset. I'm slightly skeptical regarding its drivers.

And you are right indeed. Most Intel chipsets have free software drivers
maintained by the vendor within the larger free software community
(kernel, x.org, etc)

However, the GMA500 (AKA Poulsbo) is different. It was licensed by
Intel from some third party with closed source binary blobs.

Adam Williamson described it the best:
  Intel GMA 500 (Poulsbo) graphics on Linux:
   a precise and comprehensive summary
   as to why you’re screwed

  [it is really comprehensive http://www.happyassassin.net/2009/01/30/ ]

Those who are already stuck with this chipset may get some first aid:
 * Seems like Ubuntu is shipping the closed source driver
   (don't have the exact details)
 * Adam finally managed to compose an unofficial rpm which he pushed to
   rpmfusion.org (for Fedora)

So anyone looking for graphics hardware -- buy Intel or ATI, but not
the GMA500

Bye,
