On my Fedora 20 box at work, I am using the akmod driver to avoid the recompile step. It works okay, even though I have issues with two cards loading in Xinerama. Of course, I'm not gaming on this machine, so I can't swear anything fancy is working.

[MBZ] Linux (was Re: Classic car lock, stock and mac)
Does Linux allow iPhone contacts/pictures back-up to the PC?

I don't think so. I think everything to do with the iPhone has to go through iTunes. Another reason I was excited to get rid of my iPhone. I really dislike iTunes... -Curt From: Meade Dillon via Mercedes mercedes@okiebenz.com To: Mercedes mercedes@okiebenz.com Sent: Wednesday, September 3, 2014 11:44 AM Subject: [MBZ] Linux (was Re: Classic car lock, stock and mac) Does Linux allow iPhone contacts/pictures back-up to the PC?

I brought my kids up on Mac. #1 boy won a Sony laptop on a M$ lotto that he used for college. I had been running a few distros of Linux for a few years as diversions, and donated a trailing edge Gateway for him to do linux with. Last night we wasted hours building a whole new gaming box for him. He had sourced almost all the parts and we had to plug all the power wires and data cables, install the CPU and cooling apparatus. Got past my bedtime and his before we got close to done. He has not sourced a GPU, so not going to know if it worked for a few weeks clay On Sep 3, 2014, at 8:44 AM, Meade Dillon via Mercedes wrote: Does Linux allow iPhone contacts/pictures back-up to the PC?

For most people the GPU is probably the least important thing in their computer. For gamers and video editors its a different story, my HP has what was and absurdly expensive GPU when it was new (well over $1000) but its basically unused 90% of the time. -Curt From: Craig via Mercedes mercedes@okiebenz.com To: Mercedes Discussion List mercedes@okiebenz.com Sent: Wednesday, September 3, 2014 7:36 PM Subject: Re: [MBZ] Linux (was Re: Classic car lock, stock and mac) On Wed, 3 Sep 2014 11:54:37 -0700 clay via Mercedes mercedes@okiebenz.com wrote: Last night we wasted hours building a whole new gaming box for him.

It does have onboard graphics, both HDMI and another digital port. Since it will be used for games, the boy feels he needs at least a 2 gig GPU clay On Sep 3, 2014, at 4:36 PM, Craig via Mercedes wrote: On Wed, 3 Sep 2014 11:54:37 -0700 clay via Mercedes mercedes@okiebenz.com wrote: Last night we wasted hours building a whole new gaming box for him.
