  7. Re:Could NVIDIA finally,slowly be getting it? on NVidia Releases Linux Drivers Supporting 4K Stacks · · Score: 3, Informative

    Snipped from the driver's README:

    Option "RenderAccel" "boolean"

    Enable or disable hardware acceleration of the RENDER
    extension. THIS OPTION IS EXPERIMENTAL. ENABLE IT AT YOUR
    OWN RISK. There is no correctness test suite for the
    RENDER extension so NVIDIA can not verify that RENDER
    acceleration works correctly. Default: hardware
    acceleration of the RENDER extension is disabled.

    Personally I haven't noticed any difference, but then I've got some AGP issues, so YMMV.

  13. Re:opera vs firefox? on A New Look For Firefox · · Score: 1

    I did try opera once before, a couple of years ago, All I remember is that the interface was soo horrible, and so cluttered, with a big honking ad. right in the middle of it, that it actually made IE's interface look good.

    So no thanks, I'll keep Firefox

  14. Re:opera vs firefox? on A New Look For Firefox · · Score: 5, Interesting

    May I suggest you fire up Firefox again, and type

    about:config
    into the address bar and hit enter.

    More options than you could shake a very large stick at

    Also, Character Encoding is in the view menu.

    This is the one thing that bugs me about pkgconfig. I mean how hard can it be to add a --install option, allowing pkgconfig to choose where to place the .pc file.

    Maybe I'll go make a patch...
