I tried Gnome 3 when Fedora 15 came out.

When I discovered that Gnome 3 didn't work properly with two separate X servers (one for my laptop's screen and one for my external screen), I junked Fedora and switched to Linux Mint as they were still using Gnome 2.

Now I see that the latest Linux Mint has switched to Gnome 3 and it still does not work properly with separate X servers! WTF?

I honestly fail to believe that a user like me with two Compiz cubes, one on each screen, is an unusual case. The Gnome 3 devs seems to have been completely blinded by their own hubris.

I'll stick with what I have thanks.

How about Sweden? Any trace of drugs in your bloodstream is considered as being guilty of possession.

Not cool.

I ditched Fedora when they introduced Gnome 3 as it simply does not run properly on two screens
and switched to Linux Mint.

I use my laptop's screen and an external monitor configured as separate X servers. This setup works
perfectly with Gnome 2 and is totally useless with Gnome 3.

So, anyone know if the next Linux Mint will support this?

A quick look at prisjakt.nu (a Swedish price comparison site) shows that prices on all models currently in the 'sweet spot' have risen by around 20% over the last two weeks!

Probably the clearest indicator that the shortage is real.

No, you are not the only one.

When the first release of Fedora with Gnome 3 came out, I discovered the same problems. It was a shame to have to dump Fedora, but I switched to Linux Mint so that I could still use my laptop with dual, independent X screens.

Until the Gnome developers fix this, I'll be staying with whatever distro still supports Gnome 2. Proper functionality with two screens is basic stuff and the excuses for not fixing it that I have heard just don't cut it.

Actually, I was thinking of charging my Tesla Model S with the long-range (85KW/h) battery pack in 15 minutes...

Some 1,500 Amps at 220V!!!

Personal sub-stations anyone?

I have not purchased anything from Sony since they released audio CDs with embedded root-kits and I will never buy anything from them again.

The impact of my own boycott is minimal, but if everyone took the same approach, Sony would at best go out of business and maybe, at the least, stop acting like the corporate bully that they are.

Stop invading other countries!
