Comment on ThinkPad T520/W520, NVIDIA, Wide Gamuts, and You! by Fen Labalme

I also have a new T520 with 64-bit Ubuntu 11.10 on it and the 1600×900 display. Most works fine – I currently run nvidia discrete graphics, have compiz 3d effects and colors look good.

But whether using the VGA or the Display Port, I can’t get the second monitor to appear. I’d gladly give up 3d if that’s what’s needed, as I use this machine primarily for work. (It would be sad to lose Rotate Cube, but so it goes.) Using the nvidia-settings app, I’ve tried running as separate X-windows with xinerama and with Twinview. I actually got Twinview to work once, but have not been able to recreate that experience. (If I ever get it working again, I’ll certainly save the xorg.conf!) Any ideas or pointers gratefully accepted!

Thanks man, I am really struggling with this laptop and linux, ordering the FHD display was an error, the text is too small for my eyes, this tip has helped greatly!

Success on the confusing second trophy for sure. I couldn’t find any info on Google for the fish trophy I was just awarded for review request #1661. I did find this article, at least.

cool! can we expect the Remoting feature on Fusion at any point? it’d be nice if i could connect to a remote WS VM from a Fusion client.

Thank you so much for posting this. I nearly switched back to Windows because of the color issue.

I saw a copy of your blog post on Planet Gnome.

Can you tell me whether Fedora 15 w/Gnome 3 (64-bit) will run now as a Guest OS on a Windows 7 x64 Host?

It wouldn’t, under Workstation 7.1, because of lack of 3D support that is required by Gnome.

Thanks!

Call me when VMWare is open source, ugh.

Congratulations!

I’m so happy to see this finally ship. It’s weird not being on the inside anymore, but you guys have done a spectacular job. It’s great to see Nitrogen finally happen.

Are you the same one handed chipx86 who used to hang around on the Arstechnica #linux channel?

Yeah, for sure, this release was epic! I’ll forgive you for not going into detail on the BUM and live thumbnails work that consumed the last year and a half of my life. =:P But seriously, Nitrogen’s Unity, thanks to BUM, is SOOO much better! Try opening a WinXP VM, opening up Windows Media Player, playing a movie, then going into Unity mode and watch how good the sound and video now is! =:) Anyway, congrats to everyone on our awesome team!
