The picture is mine, and I just compressed it and added it as the background through the admin gui. Does that answer your question? Hello, I have changed the css of wordpress to be wider by default.

This is kind of an "unconventional" question , but have other visitors asked you how get the menu bar to look like you've got it? I also have a blog and am really looking to alter around the theme, however am scared to death to mess with it for fear of the search engines punishing me. I am very new to all of this ...so i am just not positive exactly how to try to to it all yet. I'll just keep working on it one day at a time Thanks for any help you can offer here. Hello.

It's not a full solution as it is slow but it does display the GUI what allows to move a step further. Dominig Dear Dominig, It seems that NVIDIA's proprietary libraries for acceleration such as /usr/lib/libGL.so.190.42 /usr/lib/xorg/modules/extensions/libglx.so.190.42 make troubles with clutter-glx implementation. Please replace these libraries with alternatives from moblin 2.1 (attached) # unzip libGL+glx.zip # cp libGL.so.1.2 /usr/lib/ # ln -sf /usr/lib/libGL.so.1.2 /usr/lib/libGL.so.1 # cp -f libglx.so /usr/lib/xorg/modules/extensions/ where, libGL.so.12 is from mesa-libGL-7.6-6.1.moblin2 libglx.so is from xorg-x11-server-Xorg-1.6.4.901-7.8.moblin2 Then, you can launch apps(moblin-panel-myzone etc.) with clutter-glx, but the gfx acceleration might be too slow than expected. :( In summary, NVIDIA's gfx kernel module + Open Source's glx libraries will works. Please give it a try! Best Regards, David C. Park I copy a mail from David Park at LG on the dev@moblin mailing list which helped me to get Moblin 2.1 going.

Dear Dominig,

It seems that NVIDIA's proprietary libraries for acceleration such as
/usr/lib/libGL.so.190.42
/usr/lib/xorg/modules/extensions/libglx.so.190.42
make troubles with clutter-glx implementation.

Please replace these libraries with alternatives from moblin 2.1 (attached)
# unzip libGL+glx.zip
# cp libGL.so.1.2 /usr/lib/
# ln -sf /usr/lib/libGL.so.1.2 /usr/lib/libGL.so.1
# cp -f libglx.so /usr/lib/xorg/modules/extensions/

where,
libGL.so.12 is from mesa-libGL-7.6-6.1.moblin2
libglx.so is from xorg-x11-server-Xorg-1.6.4.901-7.8.moblin2

Then, you can launch apps(moblin-panel-myzone etc.) with clutter-glx,
but the gfx acceleration might be too slow than expected. :(

In summary,
NVIDIA's gfx kernel module + Open Source's glx libraries will works.
Please give it a try!

Best Regards,
David C. Park

The gl.h provided by Moblin 2.1 final wil not let you recompile x11-server (I have raised a bug in Moblin Bugzila). Once that is done, I could get x11-server to work but more work is neede to get Clutter to work. To be followed.

Then you will have boot but will have no Ethernet interface. As configuring the WIFI key in text mode can be tricky if your router uses WPA (WEP is simple via the command iwconfig) you may need a temporay ethernet interface to download your package. Several USB dongle are preconfigured with the beta 2.1 (test done with Oct09 version) and for example the Apple Macair dongle works. Note that with the Beta 2.1 an error in a YUM repository will fail Brendan Yum command. You need to replace "preview" by 2.1-preview" in the file /etc/yum.repos.d/moblin-preview.repo Enjoy Dominig With Moblin preview 2.1 it can become trickier because the graphic GUI does show so you must use DJA trick to boot in text mode.

Adding either 3 or single to the end of the grub line simple causes Moblin to hang on the usplash screen with the Moblin text in the middle of the screen.
