Ubuntu Remix

 I was using Ubuntu on my Dynabook N40, but when I tried to connect it to an external monitor (nothing but TV :-), it froze. However, it's not easy to change the settings of the Xwindow system. If possible, I want to work around it in other ways, so I was investigating various ways and found out that there is something called Ubuntu Japanese Remix.

Ubuntu seems to have various remixes for different purposes, but this is positioned as a distribution specialising in Japanese among them. Of course, as I actually did, regular Ubuntu supports languages from all over the world, and it is possible to select a local language at installation. However, it should be possible to provide detailed support for each local language, so I tried installing this Japanese remix on my Dynabook N40.

　I've done uEFInd before, which is a standard procedure (:-), so naturally I set that up too, and when I started it up... it booted up fine and the screen was displayed on the TV !

There was just one problem: when I tried to use both the Dynabook N40 and the REGZA on two screens, the display became very unstable. So now I use it by outputting to REGZA only. Even so, it is still comfortable enough to use.
