Triple/Quad screen options

Tags:

Hi guys,

I'm Looking for your experiences using three or more monitors under
Linux? We use two to four screens at work (depending on our exact
requirements). Using two screens on a dual-head card works mostly OK,
at least for my legitimate work needs (some things like fullscreen
mplayer don't behave so nicely, but that's not essential), but as soon
as you run three or more screens and have to use two graphics card,
things get a little messy. Xinerama, for one, breaks hardware 3D, and
some things behave weirdly

I've looked online at cards like the Matrox G450 Quad, and wondered if
anyone has experience running these under linux. How well does things
like 3D and hardwar everlay (as in MPlayer fullscreen with xv without
trying to fullscreen over all the screens) work?

Thanks

Mailing list problems with Thunderbird

Submitted by Sam Leon on Sat, 2007-06-30 22:00.

Ok, I have had this problem for awhile and I can't find any info on it.
I am using thunderbird 1.5 in testing. All the other mailing lists that
I have subscribed to work fine. When I see a post that I want to
respond to, I simply click the Reply button and it will bring up a new
box with the message and the "To" field will be set to the correct
mailing list.

However with all the debian lists, if I click reply, it will open a new
box and the "To" field will be set to the user that sent the message and
not the debian list. I will have to delete the users name, and then
manually type in the correct list. Sometimes using "Reply to all" will
kinda work. The original user will be in the "To" field and the list
will be in the "CC" field, sometimes but not always.

I don't know. Anyone know what I am talking about? Is this just "normal"?

According to
http://packages.debian.org/changelogs/pool/main/i/icedove/icedove_2.0.0.4-1/changelog
the replytolist feature is introduced since icedove 1.5.0.5-1 onwards. What
is your version of thunderbird or icedove?

This question comes up pretty frequently. Your best bet is to use
thunderbird version which has replytolist feature or install the extension
which provides this feature or use an email client which knows how to deal
with mailing lists (Ex :- kmail, mutt etc.,) or use a news reader (Ex :-
knode) to read the list via a newsgroup.

You might also want to read
https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=45715 which tells that this
bug has not been fixed upstream in around 7 years!

I am using 1.5.0.10.  The change log makes it sound like it provides

the "base" for the extension and not the extension it's self.  I will

dig around on google and see if I can find it.

7 years?  That is terrible.

Kamaraju's pointed got me curious as I hadn't seen the feature in 2.0.x
yet. And indeed you are right. The patch was to make sure those
"extensions" worked properly. Thunderbird/Icedove in itself does not
have the feature of "Reply-To-List" yet.

I've used thunderbird and icedove forever, and missed that feature
upgrade. Thanks, guys! Now there's effectively 'reply to list' with
many fewer steps than before.

I read the list on gmane, and this reply was sent by Ctrl-R, flip
'Newsgroup' to 'To:' and change 'gmane.linux.debian.user' to 'du,' my
alias for .

Thanks Alexander Sack (maintainer), always on the ball!
