I can now give presentations from my laptop – yay.
It requires running the ATI binary drivers instead of the open source ones.
Then VGA out works without being squiggly. (that’s on my Asus V6V laptop with a Radeon X600 running Ubuntu Breezy) – there’ that should be enough google juice.
However, as if being binary only wasn’t crappy enough – suspend doesn’t work. So it’s open source drivers for all other times! I don’t use GL, so that doesn’t worry me. Of course, it may start to worry me what with all the neat cairo stuff and other accelleration coming… but not yet.
This should come in handy for the Melbourne MySQL Users Group meeting tomorrow night!
Stewart,
Are you using Open Office for the presentations? I’ve done some with it and been impresses.
Stewart Smith – in Texas
Yeah, I’ve been using OpenOffice 2.0 more recently though. The presentation module (Impress) is *much* better. It makes creating presentations almost a breeze.
