Re: Multi-Head, Multi-User Killer GNU/Linux App Languishes by John Lin on Thursday October 09, @06:35PM It's actually pretty easy now to setup the nVidia drivers. I'm referring of course to how one needed to do so before. The trickiest part is that Ubuntu uses a different environment than I was accustomed from Fedora 6. Make sure you stop the gdm service in the init.d and install the nVidia driver from the command line. Then, rename your xorg.conf file and generate a new one using the nvidia configuration utility. For that matter, the display code for windows has changed dramatically over any given time period. Direct X versions continue to soar. The maximum number of displays that are permitted by default goes up and down and back up. The aspect ratios, orientation, interface, and basic science of the monitors has changed. Too date, I haven't witnessed any programs in the medical field that can't technically work in a Linux environment. Mostly, there is just too much support for proprietary setups. Centricity is just Java, which should work on everything. GE takes steps to ensure it doesn't. Most doctors, like most bankers, just think that's okay. In my last job, we utilized modified dcmtk packages and scripts in Fedora to batch prepare dicom studies with hundreds or in some cases thousands of images each for double blind research studies. The big packaged brands either simply didn't offer these capabilities or were so unstable with large datasets that they posed an unacceptable interruption to clinical functions. While it was a lot of work and time to get setup, we took a process that was taking literally weeks or months, and reduced it to minutes. While I respect the frustration you experienced. Linux isn't always about being cheap and easy. Sometimes, it's about getting the job done... period.
