Thursday September 13, 2007 Projector configuration for intel i945 ( i810 ) driver for Solaris
Recently installed Solaris Express build 70 in couple of laptops which had Intel 945 chipsets . So enabled compiz-fusion on them with the help of Erwann's Compiz-fusion packages . Next step was to configure display for projector. Below procedure should work for Intel chipsets which uses i945 (i810) driver. To make laptop projector aware add the following lines in /etc/X11/xorg.conf in Section "Device" . Note that you need to modify BusID for your Laptop / Desktop requirement.
<snip>
BusID "PCI:0:2:0" # modify it for your laptop / desktop
Option "Clone" "true"
Option "MonitorLayout" "CRT,LFP"
<snip>
Sample section
<code>

Friday September 07, 2007 Belenix featured in http://www.isohunt.com
Belenix is featured in main page of http://www.isohunt.com
<<snip from isohunt.com>>
Since the nice folks over at
Genunix.org
the makers of Belenix (an OpenSolaris distribution) have decided to use
us to distribute their torrents, and their trackers were failing under
the load, I've decided to upload their torrent to torrentbox.com with
us listed as an additional tracker, hopefully this will help out the
folks at tuxdistro.com.
Anyway, I've been nice enough to 'donate' one of our machines
(a02.ext.isohunt.com) as a seed box and one of my personal machines as
well, let's hope that it helps get this distro out into the public eye.
