I expected to try the 7.3 xorg without the xorg.conf and some brand new feature but ....

The Intel card in my laptop supports this perfectly.

Here is a video of the prerelease version of compiz-fusion:

The new Compiz-Fusion under Gutsy is a lot faster and smoother. Still a bit on the bumpy side with a few things, but this definitely is going to be a sweet release!

Whether I call it Gutsy Gibbon Tribe 2 or Ubuntu 7.10 Alpha 2 it's the same software. Even Shakespeare realized that more than 400 years ago ("a rose by any other name would smell as sweet"). And people who can't see anything past a name would probably never use Linux anyway.

I don't feel like redoing the formatting and link, so check out this post ( http://osnews.com/permalink.php?news_id=17682&comment_id=230189 ) for the long list of people saying the same thing.

Of course, it cuts both ways when people keep saying the same thing over and over again. They aren't saying anything new and can be tiresome, but on the other hand, perhaps the pattern should tell Canonical something

Personally, I really don't see the problem with codenames, especially for alphas and betas that most people shouldn't have to care about.

Latest VMware Fusion
Default Ubuntu VMware config + 512 MB of RAM

Something crashes endlessly upon login. I log in as "ubuntu", I get the little fancy window that shows what's going on during the login process, and then it looks like X dies, and I'm brought back to the login screen.

(Yes, I know it's alpha... I'm just saying...)

Does anyone know if XV + Composite will be fixed for X600 before release or will it be disabled for X600 owners too?

It sure is a lot easier to search the web for answers relating to "Feisty Fawn" than "4.0".

The names are so off the wall that they just have to be catchy. Apple has that whole naming convention thing too. At this point they are running out of felines. What's next MacOSX "Tabby"? Have they done Puma yet?

It works, but requires a specially patched version of mplayer. The patch is easily available and, hopefully, the functionality will be incorporated into other media players that use X-Video.

If so, that won't do. It might be possible to patch most apps that are in the Ubuntu repos. but it would still break all the other stuff that uses XV. And that's a no go for something if it is to be enabled by default. :/ Fri, 29 Jun 2007 14:35:00 GMT donotreply@osnews.com (Anonumous) Comments http://www.osnews.com/thread?251648 http://www.osnews.com/thread?251648 The original poster said that compiz-fusion would be installed by default, not enabled by default. BIG difference.

Adam Fri, 29 Jun 2007 15:31:00 GMT donotreply@osnews.com (adamk) Comments http://www.osnews.com/thread?251680 http://www.osnews.com/thread?251680 It is _enabled by default_ for X600 where XV doesn't work. That was the whole point of my post. So either it will:

A) Get fixed.
B) Be disabled for X600 in the final release.

I was wondering if anyone had any info on the work being done with XV and Composite.Edited 2007-06-29 17:03 Fri, 29 Jun 2007 16:58:00 GMT donotreply@osnews.com (Anonumous) Comments http://www.osnews.com/thread?251694 http://www.osnews.com/thread?251694 # 6 Versions

* 6.4 Mac OS X 10.3 (Panther)

Yeah, 10.1. We still have lion, lynx, bobcat, etc. to go. =)

Ironically "Cheetah" was their slowest release so far. Fri, 29 Jun 2007 17:57:00 GMT donotreply@osnews.com (polaris20) Comments
