From what I remember, it can.
Who gives a damn? I fuck sheep all the time.
And yes, male both ends.  There are a couple lesbians that need a two-ended dildo...My router just refuses to wear a strap-on.

You're right, NTFS is only read. But I have my drive formatted as FAT32 (Win98)
One must ask oneself: "do I will trolling to become a universal law?" And then when one realizes "yes, I do will it to be such," one feels completely justified.

NTFS's write support is very weak right now.  But apparently it doesn't matter!

If you're using a Radeon card, you might have luck if you install the FGLRX package.  That stands for FireGL something, and is ATI's drivers. 

You can download it from www.linuxpackages.net.  The only package they have is for Slackware 10.1, but it should work on any version. 

It supports the following cards:
         - ATI FireGL V3100 / V3200 / V5000 / V5100 / V7100
         - ATI FireGL X1 / X2 / X3 / Z1 / T2
         - ATI FireGL 8700 / 8800
         - ATI Mobility FireGL T2 / 9100 / V5000
         - ATI Mobility Radeon 9000 / 9200 / 9600 /9800
         - ATI Mobility Radeon X700
         - ATI Radeon 8500 / 9000 / 9100 / 9200
         - ATI Radeon 9500 / 9550 / 9600 / 9700 / 9800
         - ATI Radeon X300 / X600 / X700 / X800 / X850
         - ATI IGP Radeon 9100 / 9200/n  - ATI IGP Mobility Radeon 9000 / 9100/n

To install it:

$ wget http://ftp.scarlet.be/pub/linuxpackages/Slackware-10.1/Library/ati-fglrx/ati-fglrx-8.16.20-i386-1tsu.tgz
# installpkg ati-fglrx-8.16.20-i386-1tsu.tgz

That should download and install it.  After installation, it automatically goes through the configuration (which you can access again by running fglrxconfig). 

Hopefully your card is on the supported list there, because if not I just wasted a bunch of time :)

And........ it's not.  Damnit.  Well, try that anyway, it can't hurt :P

Will do, thanks.

Now post that where you can find some experts. 

www.linuxquestions.org should help :)

I don't believe NTFS can be mounted readwrite yet.

Wrong-o captain. It's been able to write for quite some time.

It just can't create or remove bytes.

I'd bet that you're currently bloated like a water ballon on a hot summer's day.

That analogy doesn't even make sense.  Why would a water balloon be especially bloated on a hot summer's day? For your sake, I hope there wasn't too much logic testing on your LSAT.

I hear the writing is pretty bad and overall it's unstable. NTFS is a complex FS.

I see: (EE) Unable to locate/open config file

Should be: (==) Using config file: "/etc/X11/xorg.conf"

Do you have that file o_O ? Doesn't xorgconfig write to current directory? You might wanted to move it to there.

Yea I rm'ed xorg.conf, but it should default to xorg.conf-vesa which should work since I can run VESA 2.0 and (afaik) VBE3

Hmm, Specify a BusID then ;O ? I don't know how to get the right numbers though... I usually let the config file do it.

It's not so much that it's complex, there are a lot of complex FS's that Linux can read/write.  It's that it's undocumented, so it's 100% guess work.  The people who have been working on the project do it by making small changes and seeing what is different.  I don't think anybody has tried to reverse engineer the drivers yet, to my knowledge; could be a fun project :)

Or maybe they DO reverse engineer, but aren't allowed to say they do.

There is SOME light documentation but yes, I'd estimate most of it is guess work. And that's what it mean't.

Man, I suck @ this.
