New Laptop… first weekend
by rullzer on Sep.30, 2007, under Hardware, Linux
So you all know about my new laptop I assume. Else see my previous posts. Anyway I was thinking about making my new laptop more of a graphical thing.
Now the first thing i wanted was hardware acceleration. However it seems my Ati Xpress 200M is not well supported by the opensource drivers. Now I hear you think why not switch to the propiotry drivers? Well because then I need to compile gcc-3. I mean what is that about. So I will stay with the opensource drivers and wait till hardware acceleration is fully supported. Wich I believe won’t take to long because the Xpress 200M is shipped in a lot of laptops these days.
So I spend today to compile X and KDE. Which well went very smooth. Currently it I’m writing this from a fresh compiled konqueror. Kmail is done. Akregator. So the basics for my daily needs (I already compiled VI). I now also boot from kdm. I figured that I start X for 99% of the times. And altough it looks much cooler to be outside X when you are on te terras drinking a beer this is actually more confortable.
Speaking of comfort. I also compiled knetworkmanger. To arrange all my network stuf from inside kde. I must say it works great. I could connect to my WPA2 network with 2 clicks.
So far so good. Lets hope it stays that way.
