Hi, I followed the instructions on the screen but when I end current session the screen goes black and prompts for localhost:login (sorry learning). I dont think this is where I log back in as nothing happens. Any help please.

Hi blue,

can you tell me which video card you got? If you don't know, please do the following.
Open a terminal, and type:



Can you post the result (the part about your graphical card) here?

Hi kris, yes ATI Radeon x300se, 128mb.
...Card:ATI Radeon (fglrx): ATI Technologies Inc.|Radeon RV370 [DISPLAY_VGA] (vendor:1002 device:5b60 subv:1043 subd:032a)
Card:ATI Radeon (fglrx): ATI Technologies Inc.|Radeon RV370 [DISPLAY_OTHER] (vendor:1002 device:5b70 subv:1043 subd:032b)
Perhaps my card cannot handle this? If not would a VMware virtual card work?
Thanks.

Is it a laptop?
If it is a dual-head card, you could try this:

I have no idea if the ATI cards have the same issue. Please try and let us know.
Your card should do fine wtith 3D desktop, I thought.

No a desktop. It appears 3D is alright as it says so. Thanks I will tweak abit.

Are you sure you are running MCNLive?

The fglrx driver is the closed source Ati driver, and not included in MCNLive. Why does he try to use it?

:-) Sure. I'll see what some tweaks bring.

kris, I love ya Yes fglrx Everything A1 now.
Ho this project, is put together great! Well done guys.:-)
Thanks again kris, for nudging my brain.

Great, blue. Have fun.

PS: I am not a guy

I know this! :-) I didn't mean it either way.
Now somewhere I've seen a page for the keys to use 3D, is it here?

Using the 3D desktop, keyboard and mouse usage:
