I would like to be able to run Team Fortress 2 with FXAA enabled, but the only way I know how is to turn on in NVidia settings "enhance application settings" which effects all games and apps using OpenGL. I see that in the latest beta driver they've added "application profile" support, which looks to allow you to have special settings for single apps. Is their any way I could use this to enable FXAA just for Team Fortress 2?
Right now all we can do is set the TV to 1280x768 instead of its native resolution of 1360x768. Setting it to its native resolution gives you a screen with a large portion of the left side of the screen cut off. We've tried everything with the TV so now we're turning to the innards of Ubuntu in hopes of fixing this. The computer is using an NVIDIA GeForce GT240. This is its current xorg.conf:

I bought this 2tb Segate GoFlex this last Black Friday and since then every 15 minutes or so the drive spins down, and then a little while later completely dismounts. Very annoying. From what I understand you could turn this off using the including Windows and Mac only software. This function and what controls it isn't proprietary, right? There has to be something that'll let me set it in Ubuntu... Anyone have any suggestions?
Also, I formatted it to EXT4. Hope I didn't screw myself up. :/
My myTouch Slide wasn't mounting, so I decided to open Disk Utility. My phone shows up but when I click "Mount" it gives me this error:
Error mounting: mount exited with exit code 1: helper failed with:

mount failed
Here's my mtab:

I just got done installing Ubuntu 10.04 on an acer laptop. The fan was working fine in Vista but now with Ubuntu the fan doens't turn on, so now it's overheating after an hour or so of use. What's wrong? And if I have to, how do I turn on the fan manually?
P.S. Not my laptop, it's a friend's daughter's.
I want a note taking app on my Ubuntu running laptop and an app on my Android phone which can sync with each other, through online means or manually syncing. So far the only thing I've seen is the Evernote app for android and the beta quality third party app Nevernote. Ideally, I'd like an app that syncs with Tomboy, but the only thing I've found is Tomdroid which is buggy and only lets you view notes.
Does anyone have any suggestions? Or will I have to stick to Android apps which only sync with web sites?
How do I go about changing my laptop's display's color temperature? And I don't mean through something like the Red, Green, Blue sliders in the NVIDIA config menu. I'm talking about like adjusting in degrees, like editing a photo's white balance.
So now I've found Redshift and it's doing me pretty good. I thought it might be helpful if I out here the command I'm using.
redshift -t 5000:5000 -g .5
By adding this to my start up commands I should be good.
I'm still open to other suggestions, because I'd like something that actually edited my xorg.conf or something like that.
