| [21:33] <soundray> AlexC: I understand you've tried displayconfig-gtk | |
| [21:33] <AlexC> yes | |
| [21:33] <soundray> AlexC: did you find a display setting there that matched your monitor? | |
| [21:34] <AlexC> I also tried renaming xorg,.conf to xorg,conf.save and restarting X | |
| [21:34] <AlexC> TY=The highest choices offered are 1280x1024 and 1400x800 | |
| [21:35] <AlexC> I have selected as my monitor LCD 1680x1050 | |
| [21:35] <AlexC> My video driver is for ATI Radeon | |
| [21:35] <AlexC> It should work. But it doesnt | |
| [21:35] <soundray> AlexC: did you change the Model setting away from "Plug and Play"? | |
| [21:35] <AlexC> Yes. | |
| [21:35] <AlexC> I have selected as my monitor LCD 1680x1050 | |
| [21:36] <AlexC> I restarted and rebooted several times | |
| [21:36] <soundray> What did you do after that? | |
| [21:36] <soundray> Did you click on Test ? | |
| [21:36] <AlexC> then I went into preferences->Screen Resolution but the highest resolution offered remains 1280x1024 | |
| [21:36] <soundray> Please, for now, answer only my questions | |
| [21:37] <soundray> Did you click on Test ? | |
| [21:37] <AlexC> Yes | |
| [21:37] <soundray> What happened? | |
| [21:37] <AlexC> It displayed a grey hash pattern and asked if I wanted to save my settings. I said yes. | |
| [21:38] <soundray> Okay. Are you at the poor resolution right now? | |
| [21:38] <AlexC> I am at 1280x1024. There is a 1440x900 option also. | |
| [21:39] <soundray> Okay. When you do 'gksudo displayconfig-gtk' now, does it still show LCD 1680x1024 under Model? | |
| [21:39] <AlexC> I have just switched to 1440x900. I dopnt like this one either.. | |
| [21:39] <AlexC> let me try | |
| [21:39] <soundray> AlexC: can you please, just while I'm helping you, not do anything other than what's in my train of thought? | |
| [21:40] <AlexC> yes it still shows LCD Panel 1680x1050 | |
| [21:40] <AlexC> (sorry) | |
| [21:40] <soundray> Okay, good. | |
| [21:40] <soundray> Please put your /etc/X11/xorg.conf on a pastebin so I can have a look at it. | |
| [21:41] <AlexC> Sure. (refresh my memory - what is the link to pastbin? | |
| [21:41] <soundray> !pastebin | |
| [21:41] <ubot5`> pastebin is a service to post multiple-lined texts so you don't flood the channel. The Ubuntu pastebin is at http://paste.ubuntu.com (make sure you give us the URL for your paste - see also the channel topic) | |
| [21:42] <soundray> Oh, ubottu's here, too. Good | |
| [21:42] <soundray> ubot5`: Hi | |
| [21:42] <ubot5`> Hi! Welcome to #ubuntu-classroom! | |
| [21:43] <AlexC> Its there | |
| [21:43] <soundray> AlexC: you know the drill | |
| [21:43] <soundray> I need the link | |
| [21:43] <AlexC> Oops | |
| [21:44] <AlexC> I am looking for the link url but not finding it. | |
| [21:45] <soundray> You just pasted it, didn't you? In Firefox? | |
| [21:45] <AlexC> Yes | |
| [21:45] <soundray> So look in the location bar | |
| [21:45] <AlexC> It shows on the left under Alex Chigos | |
| [21:46] <AlexC> http://pastebin.com/m332691d4 | |
| [21:46] <AlexC> Sorry | |
| [21:46] <AlexC> I am very frustrated. Not at my best | |
| [21:47] <soundray> Where do these modelines come from? Did you put them in by hand? | |
| [21:47] <soundray> Line 62 to 71 | |
| [21:47] <soundray> *Lines | |
| [21:47] <AlexC> Nope. I tried that but it didnt work. This xorg.conf was automatically generated after renaming my original file. | |
| === Rafik_ is now known as Rafik | |
| [21:48] <soundray> It's strange that it doesn't have a mode for the resolution you want | |
| [21:48] <soundray> Would you mind starting from scratch? | |
| [21:48] <AlexC> By the way. that 1400x1050@60 never appears as an option in either displayconfig-gtk or Preferences->tion | |
| [21:48] <AlexC> Sure | |
| [21:48] <AlexC> Please tell me what to do. | |
| [21:49] <soundray> Okay, exit displayconfig if you haven't already | |
| [21:49] <AlexC> I have | |
| [21:49] <soundray> AlexC: in terminal, do mv /etc/X11/xorg.conf /etc/X11/xorg.conf-backup-pre-soundray | |
| [21:49] <soundray> sorry | |
| [21:49] <AlexC> OK | |
| [21:49] <soundray> AlexC: in terminal, do sudo mv /etc/X11/xorg.conf /etc/X11/xorg.conf-backup-pre-soundray | |
| [21:50] <AlexC> done | |
| [21:50] <soundray> Now run 'gksudo displayconfig-gtk' again. Model should be "Plug & Play" again. | |
| [21:51] <AlexC> Nw says unknown | |
| [21:51] <AlexC> No says unknown | |
| [21:51] <soundray> Ah | |
| [21:51] <AlexC> (encouraging sound) | |
| [21:51] <soundray> Okay, just click on it and select LCD panel 1680x1024 again (that's your native resolution, correct?) | |
| [21:51] <AlexC> OK | |
| [21:52] <AlexC> done | |
| [21:52] <soundray> Don't bother with Test, just save and pastebin me your new /etc/X11/xorg.conf | |
| [21:53] <AlexC> http://pastebin.com/d585b1f14 | |
| [21:54] <soundray> Okay, that's annoying... it's back to what it was. | |
| [21:54] <AlexC> Ah (more encouraging sound) | |
| [21:55] <soundray> Shall we try and insert a mode for 1680x1024 manually? | |
| [21:55] <AlexC> Lets | |
| [21:55] <AlexC> Please guide me | |
| [21:55] <soundray> The alternative would be for you to look into an ATI proprietary thing called Catalyst, which I know nothing about | |
| [21:55] <AlexC> I am editing the file now | |
| [21:55] <AlexC> Catalyst is for windows (I thiink) | |
| [21:56] <soundray> I've heard they have it for Linux as well now | |
| [21:56] <AlexC> I have been through this with red hat. I got it to work by editing xorg,.conf manually | |
| [21:56] <soundray> Okay, give me a minute to find a proper modeline | |
| [21:56] <AlexC> I tried copying the lines from my red hat machine into my ubuntu machine but it did not help | |
| [21:59] <soundray> Do you have that version of xorg.conf still? | |
| [22:00] <AlexC> I think so | |
| [22:00] <AlexC> Do you want me to pastebin it? | |
| [22:00] <soundray> Yes, if it's reasonably easy to find | |
| [22:01] <AlexC> Would you like the entire reed hat xorg.conf or the modified ubuntu one with the correct video driver entries? | |
| [22:01] <soundray> modified ubuntu one | |
| [22:01] <AlexC> OK | |
| [22:03] <AlexC> http://pastebin.com/m48a8fa0d | |
| [22:04] <soundray> Theres a slight strangeness in that the modeline for 1680 has no hsync/vsync appendix | |
| [22:05] <soundray> You didn't just miss that from the original -- did you? | |
| [22:05] <AlexC> I noticed that. I suspect it has to do with the different versions of xorg between Red Hat EL ES 4 and Ubuntu 8.02 | |
| [22:06] <AlexC> Is the file truncated in the post? | |
| [22:06] <soundray> Yes | |
| [22:06] <AlexC> Let me post it again | |
| [22:06] <soundray> And it's word-wrapped | |
| [22:08] <AlexC> http://pastebin.com/m7bdb4e7d | |
| [22:08] <AlexC> I dont know about the word wrap. I am editing in a terminal window. That is what it does. | |
| [22:08] <AlexC> In the file it is not wrapped. | |
| [22:09] <soundray> Now it's more truncated | |
| [22:09] <soundray> Do a 'cat /path/filename' and highlight that to paste | |
| [22:09] <AlexC> When I click on the link ai just sent you, it appears to be complete. | |
| [22:10] <soundray> Okay | |
| [22:11] <soundray> I'd like to see the log when you use this config. | |
| [22:12] <soundray> Can you make it current, restart X and pastebin the output from | |
| [22:12] <soundray> grep 1680 /var/log/Xorg.0.log | |
| [22:12] <AlexC> Should I copy it over and restart X then come back to the #ubuntu-classroom | |
| [22:12] <soundray> Yes, please | |
| [22:12] <AlexC> OK | |
| [22:12] <soundray> I'll wait | |
| [22:17] <AlexC> http://pastebin.com/m620a8c96 | |
| [22:17] <AlexC> Soundray - still there? | |
| [22:17] <soundray> Yes | |
| [22:18] <AlexC> just the lines containig 1680 | |
| [22:19] <soundray> It looks all good... Still no 1680 in System-Preferences-Screen Resolution? | |
| [22:19] <AlexC> Nope - just checked | |
| [22:20] <soundray> Do you have the model name of the LCD panel there? | |
| [22:20] <AlexC> I think so | |
| [22:21] <soundray> Are you going to tell me? | |
| [22:22] <AlexC> I had to get a magnifying glass. There is no model number printed on the monitor front or back | |
| [22:22] <AlexC> Neither on the box | |
| [22:22] <AlexC> Let me check the invoice | |
| [22:23] <soundray> Do you get any output when you run xrandr ? | |
| [22:23] <AlexC> E2009FP | |
| [22:24] <AlexC> yes | |
| [22:24] <AlexC> I will post it | |
| [22:24] <soundray> Please | |
| [22:24] <AlexC> http://pastebin.com/m6cc8cbf | |
| [22:25] <soundray> What happens when you do | |
| [22:26] <AlexC> ? | |
| [22:26] <soundray> xrandr --output VGA-0 --auto | |
| [22:26] <AlexC> Not even a blink | |
| [22:26] <AlexC> Nothing changes | |
| [22:27] <AlexC> Can I specify the resolution in xrandr | |
| [22:27] <soundray> yes | |
| [22:27] <soundray> I have to read up how | |
| [22:28] <AlexC> I tried $xrandr -s 1680x1050 | |
| [22:28] <AlexC> got Size 1680x1050 not found in available modes | |
| [22:29] <soundray> Yeah | |
| [22:29] <soundray> It's listed as the maximum, but it's not listed as a possible mode | |
| [22:29] <soundray> Could you send me your entire /var/log/Xorg.0.log ? | |
| [22:29] <AlexC> It is interesting that it says Screen 0: minimum 320 x 200, current 1280 x 1024, maximum 1680 x 1050 but then does not list 1680x1050 in mode list | |
| [22:30] <soundray> You can use https://fileexchange.imperial.ac.uk if it's too big for pastebin | |
| [22:30] <soundray> Yes, indeed | |
| [22:30] <soundray> That's why I think another look at the log is in order | |
| [22:31] <AlexC> Your email address is requuested | |
| [22:31] <soundray> soundray at imperial ac uk | |
| [22:32] <AlexC> is that soundray@imperial_ac.uk? | |
| [22:32] <soundray> AlexC: no | |
| [22:32] <soundray> You're not meant to repeat it here | |
| [22:32] <soundray> Why do you think I obfuscated it? | |
| [22:32] <AlexC> Sorry, it is asking me to put something there. | |
| [22:32] <soundray> Look at the https address, that should give you a clue | |
| [22:33] <AlexC> gotit | |
| [22:33] <soundray> This channel is publicly logged. You've just tripled my spam volume | |
| [22:36] <AlexC> https://fileexchange.imperial.ac.uk/int/3a6b1da3d43/Xorg.0.log | |
| [22:36] <AlexC> I am so very sorry | |
| [22:38] <soundray> It's very weird. All it ever says is that 1680x1050 is supported, so it should be fine -- but it obviously isn't | |
| [22:39] <soundray> If it was my computer, I'd try the proprietary ATI driver next. | |
| [22:39] <soundray> Do you want instructions for that? | |
| [22:39] <AlexC> Please | |
| [22:40] <soundray> System-Administration-Hardware Drivers -- enable the ATI driver and follow the instructions. You will probably have to log out and back in -- I'll hang around. | |
| [22:40] <soundray> Might even ask you to reboot | |
| [22:42] <AlexC> When I do System->Admin->Hardware Drivers I get a window that is somewhat empty and says No proprietry drivers are in use on this system. | |
| [22:42] <soundray> Dang | |
| [22:42] <AlexC> My sentiments exactly | |
| [22:43] <soundray> Maybe envyng would force it | |
| [22:43] <soundray> but I have no experience with it | |
| [22:43] <soundray> Should be straightforward, though | |
| [22:43] <AlexC> envying? | |
| [22:43] <soundray> envyng | |
| [22:43] <soundray> !info envyng | |
| [22:43] <AlexC> apt-get install envyng? | |
| [22:44] <soundray> Think so -- hold on... | |
| [22:44] <soundray> !info envyng-gtk | |
| [22:44] <soundray> Bot is dead. | |
| [22:44] <soundray> apt-get install envyng-gtk should do it | |
| [22:44] <AlexC> it is now installed. | |
| [22:45] <AlexC> cool | |
| [22:45] <soundray> Is it running? | |
| [22:46] <AlexC> running it now | |
| [22:46] <AlexC> It is downloading something | |
| [22:46] <soundray> Yes, that's what it's for | |
| [22:46] <AlexC> building . . . | |
| [22:46] <soundray> The latest ATI Linux driver | |
| [22:47] <AlexC> complete restarting - be right back | |
| [22:54] <AlexC> soundray are you there | |
| [22:54] <soundray> Yes | |
| [22:55] <AlexC> I rebooted. It came up at 640x480. I run displayconfig-gtk and selected 1280x1024 | |
| [22:56] <soundray> Depressing | |
| [22:56] <AlexC> I then tried to run catalyst and it said there was a problem initializing the catalyst driver | |
| [22:56] <AlexC> No ATI graphics driver is installed or the ATI driver is not functioning properly | |
| [22:57] <soundray> I've been thinking that there might be a hardware initialization issue | |
| [22:57] <soundray> Oh envyng hasn't done its job properly either, then | |
| [22:57] <AlexC> Please install the ATI driver appropriate for your harware or configure it with aticonfig | |
| [22:57] <AlexC> aticonfig gives me 8 pages of usage notes | |
| [22:57] <soundray> Yeah, that one's horrible | |
| [22:57] <AlexC> I tried aticonfig --initial and got seg fault | |
| [22:58] <soundray> Here's another thing to try | |
| [22:58] <soundray> Assuming that it's initialization trouble | |
| [22:59] <AlexC> should I re,pve envyng? | |
| [22:59] <soundray> Do you know how to set a boot option? | |
| [22:59] <AlexC> can you be more specific? | |
| [22:59] <soundray> AlexC: I don't think it's done anything, so you might keep it around for when a driver becomes available | |
| [22:59] <AlexC> I can press esc at grub to go into the menu. | |
| [23:00] <soundray> AlexC: yes, that's what I'd like you to try | |
| [23:00] <AlexC> Then I think I press E to edit the kernel line | |
| [23:00] <soundray> then hit E on the default boot entry to edit, | |
| [23:00] <AlexC> What should I append | |
| [23:00] <soundray> then E again on the kernel line | |
| [23:00] <soundray> hold on... | |
| [23:01] <AlexC> Do you think envyng will interfere? | |
| [23:01] <soundray> No | |
| [23:01] <AlexC> OK | |
| [23:02] <soundray> vga=866 | |
| [23:02] <AlexC> OK | |
| [23:02] <AlexC> I will be right back | |
| [23:02] <soundray> It's a bit of a shot in the dark | |
| [23:10] <AlexC> Hi Soundray | |
| [23:11] <AlexC> Hi Soundray | |
| [23:13] <AlexC> Here I am | |
| [23:13] <soundray> Here we all are | |
| [23:13] <DarkGu1> Soundray, alexc | |
| [23:13] <DarkGu1> Hello | |
| [23:13] <soundray> It's strange that | |
| [23:13] <soundray> Wherever you go there you are | |
| [23:13] <DarkGu1> The page you gave me is 404 | |
| [23:13] <AlexC> Hi DarkGu1 | |
| [23:13] <soundray> Buckaroo Banzai was right | |
| [23:13] <DarkGu1> hey | |
| [23:13] <DarkGu1> ??? | |
| [23:13] <soundray> https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BootOptions | |
| [23:13] <soundray> Works here | |
| [23:14] <AlexC> Soundray - it didnt like that video mode. It gave me the option to scan which I tried. I then chose the highest option it offered me | |
| [23:14] <soundray> AlexC: this was about initialisation of the monitor | |
| [23:14] <AlexC> That scrambled my screen | |
| [23:14] <AlexC> I was able to go to Alt-F1 and copy my xorg.conf back and reboot | |
| [23:14] <AlexC> I am back to 1280x1024 | |
| [23:15] <DarkGu1> AlexC: what's your monitors maker | |
| [23:15] <AlexC> Dell | |
| [23:15] <soundray> AlexC: I was hoping that being initialised with vga=866 would make it more cooperative | |
| [23:15] <AlexC> I suspect it may be a samsung oem | |
| [23:15] <DarkGu1> soundray: I'm going to reboot. Wait here | |
| [23:15] <soundray> Oh, I've got an order | |
| [23:15] <AlexC> Yes but it rejected that mode and offered me other choices | |
| [23:15] <soundray> AlexC: I see | |
| [23:16] <AlexC> scan listed my choices | |
| [23:16] <AlexC> I had to pick something so I chose the highest number | |
| [23:16] <soundray> What was that? | |
| [23:16] <AlexC> Perhaps not the best choice | |
| [23:16] <AlexC> I dont know | |
| [23:16] <soundray> http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/VESA_BIOS_Extensions#Linux_video_mode_numbers | |
| [23:16] <AlexC> My short term memory isn't what it used to be | |
| [23:17] <soundray> How old are you? | |
| [23:17] <AlexC> none of those was listed as a choice | |
| [23:17] <AlexC> (from your link) | |
| [23:17] <soundray> No, they are graphical modes | |
| [23:17] <soundray> scan only lists text modes | |
| [23:17] <AlexC> only text modes ie e 162 132x44 | |
| [23:19] <AlexC> It did say mode 866 not available | |
| [23:19] <AlexC> I am 52 | |
| [23:19] <AlexC> I am a Python (pygtk) and C developer | |
| [23:19] <AlexC> I have been programming since 1980 | |
| [23:19] <AlexC> I am usually pretty good at this kindd of thing | |
| [23:20] <soundray> I started programming in 1980 :) | |
| [23:20] <AlexC> I only use the irc as a last resort after exhausting my other choices including google | |
| [23:20] <soundray> Didn't keep it up, though | |
| [23:20] <AlexC> No I am very active | |
| [23:20] <soundray> All I write these days are bash scriptes | |
| [23:20] <AlexC> I am not near a pen and paper and did not write it down | |
| [23:20] <DarkGu1> soundray | |
| [23:20] <soundray> *scripts | |
| [23:20] <DarkGu1> Did you say vga=866 | |
| [23:20] <AlexC> yes | |
| [23:20] <soundray> yes | |
| [23:21] <DarkGu1> It wouldn't let me do it | |
| [23:21] <DarkGu1> Said unrecognized or something | |
| [23:21] <soundray> Well, it wasn't the best choice | |
| [23:21] <AlexC> yes - mode 866 not available - then it listed about 8 modes + scan | |
| [23:21] <DarkGu1> Any other options? | |
| [23:21] <AlexC> I chose scan | |
| [23:21] <soundray> 791 should work everywhere | |
| [23:21] <AlexC> I got a list of text modes | |
| [23:21] <AlexC> I chose one | |
| [23:21] <DarkGu1> I doubt a boot option will help | |
| [23:22] <AlexC> So do you want me to try again with 791? | |
| [23:22] <soundray> 791 is 1024x768 at 16bit | |
| [23:22] <AlexC> I can already get that | |
| [23:22] <soundray> DarkGu1: I've fixed at least one strangely behaving machine with that | |
| [23:22] <DarkGu1> soundray: But I need 1400by1500 with 24 bit | |
| [23:22] <soundray> That number keeps changing, DarkGu1 | |
| [23:23] <DarkGu1> What number? | |
| [23:23] <soundray> I guess you mean 1440x1050 | |
| [23:23] <AlexC> Remember that xrandr said my monitor could do 1680 x 1050 but did not list that option | |
| [23:23] <DarkGu1> No I don't | |
| [23:23] <DarkGu1> I mean 1400by1050 | |
| [23:24] <soundray> AlexC: DarkGu1's xrandr says maximum 1280x800 | |
| [23:24] <soundray> It's all too weird for me | |
| [23:24] <soundray> Sorry I couldn't help guys | |
| [23:24] <AlexC> Dang | |
| [23:24] <DarkGu1> Are the two sound rays the same | |
| [23:24] <soundray> DarkGu1: are there two of me? | |
| [23:24] <DarkGu1> Yes, on e gold, one green | |
| [23:25] <soundray> Things are getting ever weirder | |
| [23:25] <AlexC> soundray - are you part of the ubuntu dev team? | |
| [23:25] <soundray> No | |
| [23:25] <AlexC> double dang | |
| [23:26] <AlexC> I wish I could find a regular 19" monitor (not wide) | |
| [23:26] <AlexC> They seem to have stopped making them | |
| [23:26] <AlexC> This machine is for a customer and is scheduled to be installed monday morning | |
| [23:26] <AlexC> I will have a difficult tome dancing arouind this | |
| [23:26] <AlexC> I will have a difficult time dancing arouind this | |
| [23:27] <AlexC> I have been on the ubuntu page since 1:00 EST trying to fix this. It is now 6:25 | |
| [23:27] <AlexC> thats a long time with no results. | |
| [23:27] <AlexC> I very much appreciate your help. | |
| [23:27] <soundray> Agreed | |
| [23:28] <soundray> Is the graphics card very recent? | |
| [23:28] <AlexC> I thought ubuntu was "the linux that just works" | |
| [23:28] <AlexC> No | |
| [23:28] <soundray> Graphics is always a problem, esp. ATI and NVidia | |
| [23:29] <AlexC> I have been installing this exact configuration (Dell Power Edge Server SC1430) with Red Hat Enterpreise Linux for at least 2 years. Red Hat works with this config | |
| [23:29] <AlexC> If not ATI and nVidia, then what? | |
| [23:29] <soundray> Intel worked out of the box for me | |
| [23:29] <AlexC> Are they not the two most popular video cards in the industry? | |
| [23:29] <soundray> They certainly are | |
| [23:30] <AlexC> So the guys at Ubuntu just thought they would ignore that fact? | |
| [23:30] <soundray> And they happen to be made by the most un-enlightened companies around, as far as free software is concerned | |
| [23:30] <AlexC> Ore the guys at xorg | |
| [23:30] <soundray> It's not a lack of effort on Ubuntu's part | |
| [23:30] <AlexC> How about Dell? | |
| [23:30] <AlexC> Maybe someone should let them klnow | |
| [23:31] <soundray> You can't write a free video driver without open specifications | |
| [23:31] <soundray> Oh, they are being told all the time | |
| [23:31] <AlexC> Again, the most popular manufacturer in ths business | |
| [23:31] <soundray> Torvalds has threatened closing the kernel API to proprietary modules | |
| [23:31] <AlexC> That will driver more people away from linux | |
| [23:32] <soundray> Possibly | |
| [23:32] <soundray> Well, the fact that it hasn't happened says something | |
| [23:32] <AlexC> I think Linux is a pretty smart guy. | |
| [23:32] <AlexC> I think Linus is a pretty smart guy. | |
| [23:33] <soundray> But there are vocal hardliners among the kernel devs who wouldn't give a toss about popularity | |
| [23:33] <AlexC> I do have a problem with the kernel versioning thing! | |
| [23:33] <soundray> Yeah, and he's only 13 | |
| [23:33] <AlexC> I used to be able to run one version of my X-Med software on any rev of modern linux | |
| [23:34] <AlexC> Now I must compile on 4 different machines | |
| [23:34] <AlexC> argh | |
| [23:34] <soundray> Medical practice software? | |
| [23:34] <AlexC> yes | |
| [23:34] <soundray> Cool | |
| [23:34] <soundray> I'm a doctor | |
| [23:34] <AlexC> X-Med is written in C | |
| [23:35] <AlexC> my new product, Cybax is written in pygtk | |
| [23:35] <AlexC> It runs on linux, mac and windows | |
| [23:35] <AlexC> This server will be running X-Med | |
| [23:35] <AlexC> cybax is still being developd | |
| [23:36] <AlexC> It is very cool | |
| [23:36] <AlexC> What kind of doctor? | |
| [23:36] <soundray> Is it for appointments and such, or for medical records as well? | |
| [23:36] <soundray> Radiologist | |
| [23:36] <AlexC> All of the above - including medical records, billing, appointments and document management | |
| [23:36] <AlexC> Do you know ali? | |
| [23:37] <soundray> HL7 compliant? | |
| [23:37] <soundray> No | |
| [23:37] <AlexC> He is an anesthesiologist in the UK | |
| [23:37] <soundray> On IRC? | |
| [23:37] <AlexC> X-Med is Hl7 compliant. Cybax will be | |
| [23:37] <soundray> Wow, that must have been hard work... | |
| [23:38] <AlexC> Yes - I wrote X-Med single handedly | |
| [23:38] <AlexC> I have help with Cybax | |
| [23:38] <AlexC> We are using an indian outsourcing company and one of my partners is an ophthalmologist/prrogrammer | |
| [23:38] <soundray> I worked for a company once who were selling image management software | |
| [23:38] <AlexC> What software? | |
| [23:39] <AlexC> Cameleo | |
| [23:39] <AlexC> ? | |
| [23:39] <soundray> They were aiming to make it HL7 compliant, but went bust before they could :) | |
| [23:39] <AlexC> I see | |
| [23:39] <AlexC> I am waiting for a rediologist to read an MRI I had today | |
| [23:40] <AlexC> on my right medial malleolus | |
| [23:40] <soundray> Oh -- nothing bad I hope | |
| [23:40] <AlexC> to rule out osteomyelitis | |
| [23:40] <soundray> Bad twisted ankle? | |
| [23:40] <AlexC> I have an ulcer that has fusarium fungus in it | |
| [23:41] <soundray> Nasty | |
| [23:41] <AlexC> My infectious disease doctor wants to be sure it is not in the bone before she prescrribes mefs | |
| [23:41] <AlexC> My infectious disease doctor wants to be sure it is not in the bone before she prescrribes meds | |
| [23:41] <AlexC> I hope not | |
| [23:41] <soundray> I bet the med students are all keen to see you | |
| [23:41] <AlexC> I saw the images - there were no obvious lights or dark spots on the malleolus that I could see | |
| [23:42] <AlexC> But I am not a doctor | |
| [23:42] <AlexC> I just make it a point to understand things about my body (and others) | |
| [23:42] <soundray> It would be rare for a fungal ulcer to penetrate into the bone | |
| [23:42] <AlexC> I was a pre-veteranary student when I got stupid and got married | |
| [23:42] <AlexC> That's encouraging | |
| [23:43] <AlexC> My ID dr is just being through | |
| [23:43] <AlexC> My ID dr is just being thorough | |
| [23:43] <soundray> ID? | |
| [23:43] <AlexC> I also play keyboards in a Yes triburte band | |
| [23:44] <soundray> :) | |
| [23:44] <AlexC> (www.x-med/com/MP3/ | |
| [23:44] <AlexC> there is an instrumental version of Close To The Edge there | |
| [23:44] <AlexC> (www.x-med.com/MP3/ | |
| [23:45] <AlexC> Well, I must be on my way. It has been a pleasure talking to you | |
| [23:45] <soundray> Again, sorry I couldn't really help | |
| [23:45] <AlexC> Thanks for trying. :) Bye | |
| [23:46] <soundray> It's worth going down the initialization route once more | |
| [23:46] <soundray> vga=792 | |
| [23:46] <soundray> Good luck! | |
| [23:46] <AlexC> What do you hope this will accomplish? | |
| [23:46] <AlexC> I suspect the problem is with the adapter, not the monitor | |
| [23:47] <AlexC> Good night | |
