This version of ddlabm07 was compiled for linux in Ubuntu 6.06

To run DDLab, open a terminal - from the directory with the DDLab files,
enter "ddlabm07_Linux &" (or "./ddlabm07_Linux &").

Alternatively, If the files in "ddextra" (a separate download) are in
a sub-directory called say "ddfiles" then from "ddfiles" enter
"../ddlabm07 &" to start DDLab. This will keep files generated by
DDLab in this separate directory.


linux things (updated Aug 2007)
------------------------------
You might need to modify (as root) the X11 config file,
which has a different name for different versions of Linux:  
SuSe (and RedHat?): /etc/X11/XF86Config
Ubuntu (Kubuntu):   /etc/X11/xorg.conf

1. FontPath:
   in section "Files"
   you will see various FontPath(s) listed.
   if any of the FontPath(s) below are missing, they
   must be added, otherwise DDLab could crash.
   Again, the path differs for different versions of Linux.

   for SuSe (and RedHat?), add the following (if missing)
   FontPath      "/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/misc"
   FontPath      "/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/75dpi"
   FontPath      "/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/100dpi"
   
   for Ubuntu (Kubuntu), add the following (if missing)
   FontPath      "/usr/share/X11/fonts/misc"
   FontPath      "/usr/share/X11/fonts/75dpi"
   FontPath      "/usr/share/X11/fonts/100dpi"

   also, for ddlab to work on the GNOME desktop, add (if missing) 
   FontPath      "unix/:7100"


2. BackingStore - to keep the contents of DDLab when changing/hiding 
   windows, the following should be in the config file,
   in Section "Device" (not Section "InputDevice")
   you will see various things listed,
   add: Option "BackingStore"
   i.e.
   Section "Device"
        Identifier   "Neomagic Corporation|NM2360 [MagicMedia "
        Driver       "neomagic"
        BoardName    "Unknown"
        Option       "BackingStore"
   EndSection

   However, if you switch workspaces (desktops) in KDE or GNOME
   the previous images in the DDLab window will be lost.
   In FVWM this problem does not occur.
