Here we go, we are start a new page for Macau traveling legend. Macau.com new site has launched on Sunday 4:00 AM.
That was a hard-earned site launch since we worked for just 3 week to get it done from the GoMacau.com.:P It’s was a tired and excited experience to work as long as 18 non- stopping hours. I hope the site will go smoothly as the time comes….and getting better for all of us.

This post should be released on Friday night as everything in this post was happened on that night. Since some VIP come to my area, I just got time to write it 2 days later.

My Fedora finally setup on my Dell with beautiful GUI “Compiz”. Yeah, my dream comes true, although it’s not a big one. And I would like to share some steps of my installation in order to let anyone if there are problems to them.

All the steps is not in very details since it won’t be too specific to my system only.

1 . You get a Intel Dell with NVIDIA 3D card installed, mine is 7900GS 256M

2. Install the fedora 7 (mine is 7.9) for x86_64 with any package except virtualization, the main point is to ensure the kernel is original kernel , not with “Xen”, since Xen will be installed if virtualization is selected. Please install the Development tools as well. Xen is not support for the NVIDIA driver(NVIDIA-Linux-x86_64-100.14.11-pkg2.run) in this version.

3. After install the fedora, go to console (init 3), and install and compile the NVIDIA drive. Please let it install everything include OpenGL drivers and the X configure files.

4. If the Driver can’t fine the source for the kernel, please use –kernel-source-path to point out the kernel source for it, (most likely will local in /usr/src/kernels/2.6.21-1.3194.fc7-x86_64) and i hope it will be fine for you to have the driver compile and installed.

5. Reboot it and back to the fedora Xser (Xwin). And use YUM to update all the packages except Xen kernel. And use YUM again to install a Beryl-Mega-Pack for x86_64. After the installation, the Beryl, Compiz (Window managers) should be installed at this moment. Please notice that the Beryl is not working for me at all, so i prefer don’t touch it for this reason.

6. Go to the System, Look and Feel section, and turn on the Desktop Effect. And reboot the machine. After that the Fedora should has a fantastic GUI.

7. Enjoy and play with it.

This is a great start for me, and i hope i can share some more my experience in tuning it in near future.

It was too tired to wrote the blog after site in front of the computer for 5 hour attempted to install some fancy OS with fancy interface. It’s the Linux Fedora 7.9 with Beryl 0.2, and Nivdia video driver has to be installed in order to put the interface up. I have used 3 hours to figure out the linux in Fedora using some 2.6.xxxxx.fc7-x86_64zen. The “zen” drive me crazy since there seems no kerenl source for me to build a proper Nividia driver. So i fall back to original “2.6.xxxxx.fc7-x86_64″ core inorder to compile the driver right. At least the driver is compiled and installed in the Fedora. I was really happy for this, since it works finally. And I go to the Yum to install Beryl…..there are always weird behavior on the “add/remove” function, yum is not quit reliable at some point, you need to declare the source (repository),  otherwise the system halt. And after another 2 hours Beryl installed. And , i think you already know the result from my title, right? It’s not working. But I won’t give up for that, it will be up and running very soon!! Good luck to me.

Another movie in this week, which is name “secret” from the famous Taiwan R & B start Jay Chou. It’s a romanic movie about a couple ‘s love story. I haven’t put too much expectation for it’s content, all i just wanna listen to Jay Chou’s music.
Although it has a plan style for the whole movie, the story is touching. It’s has a very romantic love between the couple and i do recommend my friends to see that.
I hope Jay will has new release for his R& B soon in the future la…..it’s so glad to have a good week end!
