Here is the changelog of envy 0.9.8-0ubuntu13: envy (0.9.8-0ubuntu13) gutsy; urgency=low * Fixed: Serbian localisation was used in a Czech locale environment * Fixed: Corrections to the Russian translation * Added: Czech translation * Fixed: the description in debian/control didn’t mention the ATI driver as you can see, the Czech had to use Envy localised […]
This new release will make your experience with ATI and the Desktop Effects a bit easier (in Ubuntu and in its derivatives). The fglrx driver was not included in Compiz’s whitelist in Ubuntu Gutsy, therefore ATI users were not able to use the Desktop Effects. Envy is now able to solve this problem for you […]
There are a few changes in this new release: 1) the new NVIDIA driver 100.14.23 is now available 2) the new ATI driver 8.42.3 is available, however I have to say a few things about it: * Compiz might be a bit slow, at least on my X1600 (make sure you’re using Compiz 0.6 or […]
I have added multilingual support to Envy’s next release, which is still under development, but so far I have added only the support for the Italian language as regards, the GUI. The textual installer will remain in English (at least in next release). What can you do to help? 1) First of all install gettext: […]
If you installed Envy New and you typed “envy -t” you might have noticed this error (which you can’t reproduce if you use the graphical installer): Traceback (most recent call last): File “interface.py”, line 13, in from instun import main ImportError: No module named instun This problem is fixed in envy_0.9.8-0ubuntu5. Thanks for your feedback. […]
There are a few announcements I would like to make: 1) Envy is now available in 2 different packages: “Envy New” and “Envy Legacy”. “Envy New” supports only Ubuntu Gutsy and Ubuntu Feisty. It is compliant with Debian’s New Python Policy. “Envy Legacy” supports all the other systems which Envy used to support (have a […]
I have tested URandR on my old laptop (also known as “the hair dryer”, for obvious reasons 😛 ) which has a rather old ATI card. If you own an ATI card which works with the open source driver (“ati”) and your OS is Ubuntu Gutsy, I would be glad if you could test URandR […]
It’s 01:57 AM here [I code at nights since I have to study for my last exam which I hope to pass on October 22] and I’ve just got URandR to work with ATI’s opensource driver (I mean “ati” and not “radeonhd”). Expect a new release soon. In the meantime, if you want to play […]
If your resolution wasn’t detected properly then you should try this this bugfix release: Furthermore a user reported that he had problems on Debian Sid (because of a different Python release) and he had to: type: dpkg -i –force-depends-version urandr_0.1-0ubuntu7_all.deb and edit /usr/bin/urandr, replacing gksudo python randrgtk.py with gksudo python2.5 randrgtk.py NOTE: I’m NOT recommending […]

Usecases: * James wants to connect his laptop to a projector without messing with his xorg.conf * Jane has two displays and would […]
