CrunchBang Linux

Hey everybody:

I have a weird predicament... I am using two screens at work and they have very different.  The nature of my work requires them to be fairly color-accurate, and with the nVidia settings, it seems I need to run separate X screens, rather than Twin View to fine-tune the monitors individually.

So, I set it up to do so in the nVidia settings utility, however now OpenBox only starts on Screen 0. 

I gathered from the OpenBox FAQ that I need to do the following:

# run openbox on the second screen (they start from 0)
DISPLAY=:0.1 openbox
# by default openbox will run on the first screen (screen number 0)
exec openbox-session

But I'm not sure where I should put this.  In ArchLinux I would just use SLIM and put that in .xinitrc, but since this uses GDM I'm not really sure what to do.

Thanks!

Hey all,

I used to use a TV tuner in Windows Media Center a lot, and of all the things I do at home, a working TV tuner is the one thing I haven't been able to do so far in Linux.  Granted, it's been about 3 years since I tried last, so maybe more progress has been made, but here's what I'm trying to accomplish:

• Get a TV tuner with either component or HDMI input

• Have it work in Linux

• Some software that I could use to view it in real time (doesn't even need to record; that part's not too important to me).

Reason why I want HDMI or component is because I want to be able to use my PS3 on my monitor without having to switch inputs all the time, or I could play in a 720 window, and still be able to keep an eye on other things.

If anyone has any pointers I'd greatly appreciate it!  I've been looking around and haven't found anything solid yet, as far as hardware goes.  Thanks!

Hey all,

I recently installed Statler and I am really enjoying it.  Everything starts up near-instantly and my battery life has really thanked me for having something lighter than Gnome running, lol.

There is a problem, however.  My laptop (an HP DV2Z) uses a Broadcom BCM4322 card, and from my experience the sta driver that can be compiled from sources in Debian's repository doesn't work with the Liquorix kernel.

Therefore, I compiled the driver from Broadcom's website (located here.

It compiled fine, and loads fine, however it seems like the ssb driver keeps loading at bootup even though I have it blacklisted.  To circumvent this, I created a script to remove ssb, then insert the required kernel modules, however this isn't a very convenient solution.  Is there a way I can have this script run automatically (with super user rights)?  This is really the only problem I have encountered with #! so far, so I'd hope to have it solved!

Thanks!
