Fonts
Maya also uses some fonts that may not be installed by default. Execute the
following to install these fonts:
yum install liberation-mono-fonts liberation-fonts-common
liberation-sans-fonts liberation-serif-fonts
Differences in operation
When installed on a Linux system, Maya works in much the same way as
when installed on Windows.
Unsupported Maya features
Some of the features in the Windows versions are not currently supported.
These include output to AVI or SGI movie formats. Please refer to the Maya
2011 Release Notes for more information.
Linux desktop configuration
To use Maya on Linux, certain default keyboard and mouse bindings must be
changed from the factory settings. These default bindings prevent commands
from being received by Maya, such as the ones that let you tumble or pan a
view in a panel.
Different Linux window managers have different key bindings and different
procedures for setting them. Linux systems are highly customizable, and many
combinations of Linux system components are possible for use with
Maya—more than can be described (or tested) by Autodesk.
The following instructions give the procedures necessary for changing the
most common configurations.
KDE and Gnome desktop configuration
For Maya to work properly with KDE and Gnome, some modifications should
be made to the mouse control. The default bindings of the Alt key and mouse
buttons do not work well with Maya. Maya 2011 adds support to use the Meta
(Windows) key to act as the Alt key for tumbling. If you want to use the
Alt+mouse buttons for scene tumbling, ensure the bindings do not conflict.
