I had used multiple monitor with docking station /I have a Dell Latitude 7480, with thunderbolt docking station, audio, video, and network connections/ > - You say it is better (apart from freezing your display which is not > good), how so? With subjective feeling, and usage. Smoother display, better response, I can resize windows more than one pixel border. Bigger version number ☺ I had no particular reason to upgrade, I just wanted to it. > - Did you download Mate 1.20? If so, from where? I compiled by hand, using the know-how, and scripts from https://github.com/gebailey/mate-rpms > - Or, did you compile it yourself? Yes, I compile it myself. The libs, and build environment a little bit updated by hand, I try to compile mate 1.24 first, from fedora packageges, but I'm stuck with some libs, and tetex version, and I had give up. -- Fonya
