I found a simple way to use Sudo with Xorg applications. Run:   # mv -v ~/.Xauthority{,.b}    #For backup   # ln -s ~{your_user_name,}/.Xauthority    #Substitute your_user_name with your user name Now you can use Sudo to run X apps. (Maybe they won't be able to connect to DBus, though.)

It's based on Gentoo Wiki Archives - Dial-up with some additions. Look here to learn how to enable support for your modem in the kernel. This article is for serial modems.I'm going to use wvdial, because using ppp directly in Gentoo(in Ubuntu it's OK) requires much work. 1. Install wvdial:   Run in termial:     $ su     Password: (enter your root password)     # emerge -avt wvdial (-avt is --ask

I replaced Metacity with XFWM because: 1. XFWM is faster. Xfce is much faster than GNOME, but I'm not using it because I have dial-up and I can't download such size(20+ MB). So I must replace window manager to make Ubuntu a little faster. 2. It supports built-in compositing. It can make menus, inactive windows, ... transparent without Compiz so I can use compositing on OpenGL-incompatible video

During the startup of X server if the horisontal sync isn't set up, sometimes resolution isn't properly detected, because the driver uses default horizontal sync range. To change the hsync and refresh rate, you must edit the "/etc/X11/xorg.conf" file. Open the terminal and run "gksudo gedit /etc/X11/xorg.conf". In the Monitor section add two lines: HorizSync 30-81.4 VertRefresh 60-100to be able
