Both The Inquirer and HotHardware published a short test of Intel V8, the prototype of a new motherboard. When looking at the specification, the dual socket supports Quad Core Xeon 5365 (Clovertown), the 1333MHz Greencreek FSB chipset and 8 FB-DIMM memory slots.

In other words, this motherboard looks almost like the one found in current Mac Pro models. Here's a list with small modifications brought by Apple:

- For improving cooling, Apple installed FB-DIMM modules on daughter cards

- Apple does not offer 6 SATA ports

- Apple did not keep the 2 PCI-X slots found on the V8 kit

- location of the Airport and BT modules

But overall the V8 motherboard is the sister of the one found in our Mac Pro. Of course it lacks the EEPROM making the one in the Mac Pro able to run OS X; and without it, running OSX on the V8 might not be so easy.

While some analysts consider this V8 kit as the first answer from Intel to AMD Barcelona; it could also be introduced because a special agreement for one-year exclusive rights between Apple and Intel will be ending soon in June. Of course, the V8 kit was identified by The inquirer as a very hot piece of hardware requiring a lot of work for cooling it down. This is exactly what Apple did more than a year ago...

Install drivers:

sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install linux-restricted-modules-$(uname -r) nvidia-glx

sudo nvidia-xconfig 

gksudo gedit /etc/X11/xorg.conf

Option "TripleBuffer" "true" Option "AddARGBGLXVisuals" "true

sudo apt-get install beryl

Option "DisableGLXRootClipping" "True"

First, just in case, make a back up of you current file:

sudo cp /etc/X11/xorg.conf /etc/X11/xorg.conf.org

sudo cp /etc/X11/xorg.conf.org /etc/X11/xorg.conf

Step 1.

First, try a quick fix. It may not work, but if is does you are done.

sudo dpkg-reconfigure -phigh xserver-xorg

• The -phigh option selects the defaults for everything but the screen resolution.
• To select a resolution, use the arrow keys to move up and down, hit the "Space bar" to select/unselect a resolution.
• You will recieve a message indication your old file was backed up.

If that fails you will need to know the specifications of your monitor and video card.

Step 2.

Monitor information
Google search your monitor by make and model. You are looking for the technical specifications for the horizontal and vertical refresh rates.

Videocard information In a terminal run this command:

lspci | grep VGA

If you have Gnome running:

sudo gedit /etc/X11/xorg.conf

sudo nano /etc/X11/xorg.conf

You are looking for the following sections:

Monitor:

Section "Monitor"Identifier "Generic Monitor"HorizSync 30.0 - 70.0VertRefresh 50.0 - 160.0Option "DPMS"EndSection

1. Reduce the DefaultDepth (this is color depth, 16 is more then adequate for most people and 24 may be excessive).
   Change it to 16:
   
   Code:

   DefaultDepth 16    Subsection "Display"        Depth       16        Modes "1600x1200" "1280x1024" "1024x768" "800x600" "640x480"    EndSubsection

2. Make sure the Subsection "Display" lists your desired resolution.
   On occasion I have "fooled" X into giving me my desired resolution by setting the resolution 1 step higher.
   If you are not sure, you can use "1600x1200" and reduce it later.
