Getting to work X.org with NVIDIA drivers Ubuntu 8.10 on a Toshiba 2410 is not so easy and involves the xorg.conf tweaking. After some problematic crashes I finally found a configuration which works well with my pc.
The important part of the xorg.conf is the "Device" one:
Section "Device"
Identifier "Configured Video Device"
Driver "nvidia"
Busid "PCI:1:0:0"
Option "UseDisplayDevice" "DFP-0"
Option "AddARGBVisuals" "True"
Option "AddARGBGLXVisuals" "True"
Option "RenderAccel" "0"
Option "NoLogo" "True"
Option "CustomEDID" "DFP-0:/etc/X11/edid.bin"
EndSection
This part requires the edid.bin which you can find in nvidia forums on the net and the UseDisplayDevice option which was the missing option that prevented the system to work. |

I've tried a lot of photo gallery plugins (like Gallery, and Coppermine) which are great if you have a lot of albums and users, but I think they are too complex for my needs. Eventually I found Zenphoto, which is really easy to install on a server and has a slow learning curve. The only drawback is (at the moment) the lack of EXIF correct handling for rotated photos, even if I hope that in the next release the developers will add this functionality. So, if you want to add a photo gallery to your website, give Zenphoto a try!! |
