The last couple of months have been quite busy and any spare time I've been using to go Geocaching. Only up to 8 finds so far, but I'm picking locations that sound interesting and worth visiting. Scottish Geocaches have some pretty amazing scenery and they've taken me to all sorts of places I'd never think of visting. So it took until today to finally getting around to configuring the T41 laptop the way I wanted to. It's running Fedora Core 2 and I figured it was time to use a dual-head so I'm not stuck at 1024x768 forever when theres a perfectly good 22" CRT next to me. "system-config-xfree86" had it working immediately; with just a manual tweak needed to XF86Config so the second screen was at 1280x1024. To complete the setup I plugged the USB IBM Trackpoint keypad into the laptop and it configured itself, set itself up, and now moving any of the trackerpoint mice moves the pointer, typing on any keyboard just works. What I've been putting off for the last two months took less time than typing this entry, I love it when that happens. Meanwhile, trying to get a bluetooth USB dongle working so I can just simply send and receive SMS via Fedora Core 2 is one of those more impossible missions that just sucks up time.
