Anyone got three monitors working?

Howdy All -
I have Gigabyte EP43-UD3L motherboard with a single PCI Express 2.0 x16
slot. It currently has a decent NVidia card - a GeForce 7300 GT. I've
got two monitors attached, one via the VGA port and one via the digital
video port. It works well, I get accelerated X and wobbly windows and
all that silliness. Guilty pleasure: I like eye candy.
I'd *really* love to do triple head - the monitor in front of me for my
main work, and the two side screens for supporting stuff.
I am wondering, since my motherboard has a four PCI Express x1 ports and
I see PCI Express x1 video cards for decent prices, if I can either
replace my single card with two identical two-port X1 cards, or just add
a single X1 video card to what I already have and get triple head.
Has anyone done this?

oovoo.com
by Gregory P. Ennis
Dear List,
I was asked to assist connecting a Fedora linux system for video
conferencing with oovoo.com. It is apparent that they support Mac and
Windows.
Does anyone have any experience in using the Mac installation for oovoo
for Fedora? Can anyone make recommendations for connections that allow
video conferencing with Fedora.
Thanks much

Gnome-Shell
by David Quigley
Is there a list anywhere of supported hardware for gnome-shell? I've
tried it on 3 computers so far and none of them work. The first was
VMWare which I've seen isn't supported so I wrote that off. The second
was a dell optiplex 790 with on-board intel accelerated graphics. The
final one is an optiplex 960 with a Radeon HD 3450 in it. Is there
something wrong with the setup or is gnome-shell really that selective
about hardware even after its been in two Fedora releases?

F16: how to use MTP to transfer to Android Galaxy Nexus
by sean darcy
I'm trying to transfer files from F16 to my Galaxy Nexus. Ive rebuilt
libmtp for 1.1.2, whci supports the phone.
mtp-detect finds it:
mtp-detect
libmtp version: 1.1.2
Listing raw device(s)
Device 0 (VID=04e8 and PID=6860) is a Samsung GT-P7510/Galaxy Tab
10.1/S2/GT-N7000/Galaxy Nexus.
Found 1 device(s):
Samsung: GT-P7510/Galaxy Tab 10.1/S2/GT-N7000/Galaxy Nexus
(04e8:6860) @ bus 2, dev 7
.........
libmtp supported (playable) filetypes:
Folder
Text file
HTML file
RIFF WAVE file
ISO MPEG-1 Audio Layer 3
MPEG video stream
JPEG file
GIF bitmap file
JFIF file

OK.
But nothing shows up as files. I can't find anything on yum that would
act as a file manager. How do I actually transfer files to the nexus?

Fedora 16 black screen with Radeon HD 6470M: partially solved?
by M. Fioretti
Greetings,
SHORT VERSION: I think I've found a temporary solution to this Fedora
install problem (found on other distros too), but I am not sure about
_why_ it works, and it's the best solution. Any feedback is very
appreciated.
I've got a HP G6 1273SL laptop with this chipset and a live cd of
Fedora 16 x86_64, KDE spin.
When running live from the CD there were NO graphic problems. So I
went and installed it on the laptop hard disk. The install was
successful, or so anaconda said, so I rebooted.
I got the GRUB 2 menu just fine. However, when I select or let start
the default entry, the screen goes completely black. If I remove the
"quiet" option in the grub entry I see that the last thing before it
goes black is "radeon something..." (too fast to read it...)
So it seems to me that is the same issue mentioned here:
http://ask.fedoraproject.org/question/179/black-screen-while-startingwhen...
I have done a bit of research and found this:
http://askubuntu.com/questions/28848/what-does-the-kernel-boot-parameter-...
linked from
https://answers.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xserver-xorg-video-ati/+ques...
which also mentions the same problem on Fedora, and indeed, if I
enter "e" in grub and add to its initrd line the two parameters
acpi_osi=Linux acpi_backlight=vendor
Fedora boots without problems, but the laptop is quite warm.
This other page says even the first parameter alone is OK:
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/765438/comments/2
Now the questions:
1) first of all, I admit I don't really understand how and why this
works, that is if this is a real/ complete / best solution. Should
I add those two parameters to GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT, rerun
grub2-mkconfig -o /boot/grub2/grub.cfg
and go on? I believe i should also try some combination of
vgaswitcheroo and/or radeon.modeset=0 as mentioned in other "
Radeon HD 6470M and black linux screen" threads like
http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=11271523
http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1781662
that, as far as I undertsand, should be better since they should
completely turn off that chip and make the laptop cooler but... how
to implement them in Fedora? This not clear to me.
2) why there was no problem with the live cd??? What are the options
used there that make the distro work from the cd but not from the
hard disk?
Please note that, for me, at least for the short/medium term, it is
perfectly OK for me to use only the on-board graphich chipset instead
of the radeon one, I don't need to do heavy 3D stuff with this
laptop...
Thanks, hope this helps.

kernel-3.2.2-1.fc16 breaks wifi
by Christian Menzel
Hi,
the kernel-3.2.2-1.fc16 update broke the wifi on my Lenovo X220 (Intel(R)
Centrino(R) Advanced-N 6205 AGN, REV=0xB0).
The system detects and connects to a wireless lan, but after some minutes
the system cannot connect to other hosts anymore.
The wifi icon still shows and the system still has an ip-address but all
pings answer 'destination unreachable'.
After stopping/starting wifi the Internet connection will stay for a short
time before failing again.
For me kernel 3.2.2 is unusable and I went back to 3.2.1.
Is anyone else experiencing this problem?

Samsung RF711-S02 anyone?
by Geoffrey Leach
I'm shopping for a desktop-replacement-grade laptop. The Samsung RF711-
S02 (Intel i7/4G DDR3 /750 GB / 17") looks like it might be a good fit.
BUT, can't find any info on Linux-compatibility. Anyone have data on
that?
Thanks.
