Geforce2MX with ADC flat panel

2003-02-21 Thread P Oscar Boykin
Should I expect the Geforce2MX card to work with a flat panel?

I have read conflicting things about rivafb and the XF86 nv driver.

Any comments would be appreciated.

Thanks

Do you know if Daniel plans to build these packages for woody?  He has a
directory there but (last I checked) it is empty.

Thanks

I don't think you want to use "UseFBDev" with nv and offb.

try setting UseFBDev to false.

Re: mouse button emulation not working on iBook

2003-03-07 Thread P Oscar Boykin
Just my two cents here,

I use the apple key and caps lock as my right and middle buttons
respectively.  Many people ask why I do this, and the answer is two
fold:

1) The reason I run a mac with linux rather than x86 is because I want a
nice looking machine.  I don't want to ruin the asthetic getting a poor
looking mouse just to have extra buttons.

2) I am right handed, and when my right hand is on the mouse, I want
keys I can reach easily and comfortably with the left.  I don't use the
apple or caps lock keys, so why not use them as mouse buttons.

Interestingly, I have gotten to like this so much, I tend to really miss
it when I am using a machine that *DOES* have three buttons.

I have been meaning to checking into doing this with my x86 laptop.

Best,
Oscar.

Re: sid audio problem xmms & artsdsp

2003-03-31 Thread P Oscar Boykin
By the way,

I fixed the bug in xmms-arts for my own usage.  I tried to email the
package maintainer and never got any response.

If you are interested in using xmms-arts, you can do so with this patch:

http://starsky.ee.ucla.edu/~boykin/patches/xmms-arts-bigendian-patch.bz2

All it does is reverse the endianism of the audio on big endian systems.
It should work fine on little and big endian systems.

If you apply the patch, you will have to do aclocal && autoconf &&
automake.

It should work then (I am not yet an expert on the autotools stuff).

Oscar.

xine problem from the KDE sources

2003-04-19 Thread P Oscar Boykin
I have added the KDE sources for 3.1 on woody:

deb http://download.kde.org/stable/3.1/Debian stable main

They have xine 0.9.13.

When I start xine, I get a ton of error messages about libxine 0.9.8:

load_plugins: video output plugin
/usr/lib/xine/plugins/xineplug_vo_out_fb.so failed to link:
libxineutils-0.9.8.so.0: cannot open shared object file: No such file or
directory
load_plugins: video output plugin

/usr/lib/xine/plugins/xineplug_vo_out_syncfb.so failed to link:
libxineutils-0.9.8.so.0: cannot open shared object file: No such file or
directory



And more.

It would seem that all the plugins in this version of xine are somehow
trying to load the wrong version of libxine0?

Does anyone have any input on this?

Thanks!

Re: [xine-user] xine-lib-1-beta12 and XV crashes Xserver]

I am using XF86 4.2.99 from:

on woody PPC

and when I start the latest xine using XV, the xserver crashes

Someone on the xine list says that it is X's fault (see below).

Does anyone have any comments about using XV with the ATI Radeon with
the above mentioned drivers?

Is there a "better" xfree86 source for woody ppc?

Thanks.

DRM/DRI crashes X server

2003-05-17 Thread P Oscar Boykin
I *believe* I finally I have DRM and DRI set up properly.  The problem
is, now if I do any GL operation, the Xserver crashes immediately.

If I run glxinfo, or glxgears, etc...  the Xserver crashes at once.

This is on the 2.4.20-benh-10 kernel with the drm kernel modules from
drm-trunk-module-src.  The machine is a cube, the video card is a Radeon
QD on a DFP monitor running at 1600x1024 16bpp.

Find attached my XF86Config-4 and XFree86.log.

This is on debian woody ppc with the dri-trunk X from:
http://people.debian.org/~daenzer/dri-trunk/

I have installed the xlibmesa3-dri-trunk from the above source as well.

Any comments would be appreciated.

By crash I mean that it immediately exits my Xwindows environment and my
display manager (in this case kdm) restarts and presents me with a log
in screen.

It does not lock up.

The screen does briefly (<0.5 seconds?) show some strange stuff (text
that is far too large, and a few lines or boxes, it is hard to discribe,
it happens so fast).

agpgart is loaded, as I believe is required in order to load the radeon
DRM module.

I might mention, that I am also the person that is reporting that XV
will basically do the same thing: cause the Xserver to exit immediately.

The only thing I can point out is that I am using a (possibly?) unusal
setup: a Cube, with a 22'' DFP which runs at 1600x1024 (not a 4:3
ratio).  I don't know if any of that makes any difference, but I thought
that I would mention it.

Thanks!
POB.

Just out of curiosity, why isn't /etc/mtab in the var directory instead?

I would think /var/mtab or some other directory in /var would make more
sense.

Any unix history on this?

Re: Gentoo PPC LiveCDs

2003-06-13 Thread P Oscar Boykin
In my opinion, the free software community needs to focus on using more
tools like:

http://bitconjurer.org/BitTorrent/

See:
http://apple.slashdot.org/comments.pl?sid=66371&cid=6106901

Specifically:
http://bender.ce.rit.edu/torrents/Gentoo-ppc-1.4_rc7-gnome.torrent
http://bender.ce.rit.edu/torrents/Gentoo-ppc-1.4_rc7-kde.torrent

This allows the *USERS* to donate bandwidth as they get the software.  I
think this is a great way to reduce the costs of distributing free
software.

How much money is spent on debian bandwidth each month?  I know much of
it is donated, but wouldn't it be better to focus on getting other
donations (cash, travel, conferences, hardware...) and let the users pay
the bandwidth costs via a P2P system?

DVD burning question

2003-06-22 Thread P Oscar Boykin
I am a debian user that runs a cube (which I have loved from the moment
I first saw it.  Anyway)  I have found a source for an internal
DVD-RW drive:

http://www.mcetech.com/sdcube.html

Two questions:

1) Does anyone have any comment on DVD burning with PPC Linux, in
particular Woody?  I am mostly interested in data, but I am somewhat
interested in burning discs that could be used in a DVD player (video,
or perhaps some way to burn my pictures onto a DVD and view them on my
DVD player).

2) The installation manual:
http://www.mcetech.com/pdfs/sdcube_install.pdf.sit
says that the drive is an IDE Master and *CANNOT* be changed to slave.
Am I going to run into any problems booting?  Do I just need to do a
"s/hda/hdb/" in my yaboot and /etc/fstab files?  Is it going to be easy
to switch my boot disk from hda to hdb?  Am I correct in thinking that
switching my hard disk to slave will result in it becoming hdb?

Thanks for any comments!

POB.

Volume and Eject buttons

2003-07-21 Thread P Oscar Boykin
What is the best way to get the volume and eject buttons to work in
woody?

I would like to be able to use the volume keys to control the mixer, and
it would be nice if the eject key issued the command "eject".

It seems like pbbuttonsd can do this, but it is not in woody.  Are there
any options in woody.

This is a desktop machine I am speaking of (if it matters).

It works great.  What graphics card do you use?  What type of machine?
What kernel?  What XFree86?

You might want to take a peek at:
http://sdb.suse.de/en/sdb/html/olh_ppc_apple_tft.html

They recommend using:

video=aty128fb:vmode:22

I used an ATI rage 128 for a while with my cinema display.  I had
occasional problems when I rebooted.  It worked fine in OSX, but it did
not always initialize properly (i.e. sometimes it would not display the
"happy mac" or open firmware, but would work always with OSX).

I use a Radeon now, which works flawlessly.

If you can't see a tty, then you can't use X (from what I have seen).
So the first problem is make sure you can see the tty.  It may work
using the video line suggested in the SUSE page above. 

Let me know if this helps.

I have the modelines in my XF86Config-4 file.  The one I use is:

This page has a list of firewire cameras:
http://www.tele.ucl.ac.be/PEOPLE/DOUXCHAMPS/ieee1394/cameras/

It says that IIDC-compliant cameras work with Linux using:
http://www.sourceforge.net/projects/libdc1394

And many people are stating that the iSight *IS* a standard IIDC camera:
http://www.google.com/search?q=iSight+IIDC

So, I guess that we are just waiting for someone to try it, it seems as
though it should work.

Great.  I guess you did the first part.  It seems that this package:
http://www.tele.ucl.ac.be/PEOPLE/DOUXCHAMPS/ieee1394/coriander/

Is needed to view and control the camera.  It also says it can do "V4L
export to other software like Gnomemeeting, Xawtv, Effetv,... "

Incidentally, Coriander is in debian.  Apt-get should work!

After that, when you run coriander, I hope it will be obvious what to do
next.  Screen shots at:
http://www.tele.ucl.ac.be/PEOPLE/DOUXCHAMPS/ieee1394/coriander/picpage.html
make it look like V4L export should be easy.

It seems strange to me that you need a userspace application to make the
camera availible as a V4L device, maybe there is another way (or plans
for another way).

I look forward to hearing your results!

Re: iSight & Airport station.

2003-08-22 Thread P Oscar Boykin
Hmm... I have never set this up myself, but a few questions (just to
make sure):

1) You do have the video1394 module loaded correct?  It seems to be
using the raw1394 module for the iSight, I don't know if that is a
problem or not.

2) I don't know what version of Coriander you are using.  The one in
stable is 0.22, which seems to be 1.5 years old.  Perhaps you want to
download the latest version (0.99.2), and compile it yourself.  (I think
you will also need the latest libdc1394.  Maybe this version will work
better.  I guess there is some chance you will also need a later version
of the IEEE1394 code: http://www.linux1394.org/download.html (which
means recompiling your kernel, and I don't know if there will be any
problems with their IEEE1394 code and the PPC, be careful).

I am really stabbing the dark here.

I note that the iSight device in your devices file has 3 units
directories.  I guess one is the video, one is the audio, and I don't
know what the third might be.  Perhaps this is confusing matters.

It is a shame this is not easier.  I was really considering getting an
iSight, so I hope you get it working.

Good luck!

It is kind of confusing (There are four Node changes up there).

Are you using a firewire harddrive already?  If you are not (or can do
without it for the moment) maybe you can rmmod sbp2 before putting the
iSight in?  Maybe then it will be okay.

If that does work, the obviously it is some bug in sbp2.

Are you joking?  I have heard that it is a pretty good feature for
audio recording and other applications that need as close to real-time

Why do you say it is a crappy feature?
