Hi all,
I don't know what this means. I tried vlc 0.3.0 and on startup it says:
warning: your CPU has AltiVec instructions, but not your operating system.
some optimizations will be disabled unless you upgrade your OS
(for instance Linux kernel 2.4.x or later)VideoLAN Client - version
0.3.0 Ourumov - (c) 1996-2002 VideoLAN
I have an ibook2, 500 MHz. Now, I thought that the G3 didn't have Altivec, and
I am running 2.4.19-pre6-ben0
from ppckernel.org.
So, is this vlc wrongly detecting my CPU having Altivec or the kernel not being
correctly compiled ?
I thought I might post here first before troubling the vlc people.
Thanks,
viral
