I can tell you right now that opengl is a no go and probably won't be for a quite a while. See, there are no proprietary graphics drivers for ppc, since ati and nvidia only give x86 love, and while I do have open source ati drivers running fine, compositing and all, the mesa drivers do not yet support opengl 2.0 instructions, which cinelerra require to enable accelerated playback. The proprietary drivers do support opengl 2.0<=, which is how many people are able to take advantage of this feature in cinelerra, but I, and others in my situation cannot until mesa supports opengl 2. Fortunately, the newest development version may support opengl 2.1 very soon, but I'm not ready to run a devel version of mesa just for cinelerra. I may try when I have time to watch things fail and fix them again :), or when ubuntu stable runs the latest mesa drivers (read: never).
As for dma: /dev/hda: multcount = 0 (off) IO_support = 0 (default 16-bit) unmaskirq = 1 (on) using_dma = 1 (on) keepsettings = 0 (off) readonly = 0 (off) readahead = 256 (on) geometry = 16383/255/63, sectors = 156301488, start = 0 I'll get a README.txt ready in a little while. Also, by the debian maintainer do you mean Andraz Tori? Given the discussion about including cinelerra in ubuntu (and debian proper), I can't think of anyone else you could mean. Searching for cinelerra in either ubuntu or debian package lists yields nothing. Anyway, I'll try and get that to you as soon as I can, -griff On 2/25/07, rafael2k <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote:
I think that cinelerra will take some time to enter in ubuntu. I really dunno about creating a perfect debian/ubuntu package, but the cinelerra debian maintainer could help. Anyway, for now, you could write the dependencies you installed in your machine to run cinelerra in a README.txt, and then periodically generate the package using checkinstall, as you did. ;) Remember that you should check if your HD is w/ dma activated (really important) and if your graphic card is working w/ opengl enabled (nice to have). bye, rafael diniz Em Domingo 25 Fevereiro 2007 09:43, Griffith Rees escreveu: > Yeah I'm happy to give maintaining a shot, but I'm not quite sure where to > start.
