Audio encoders optimized for altivec (I have a G4)

2002-04-23 Thread David Stanaway
Hi, I was wondering if anyone could recommend an encoder for me? I use grip as a front end, and tried oggenc from vorbis-tools but I can only encode at half realtime! I have only used mp3 encoders before on intel systems, so maybe this is just a sign that ogg is a more complex transformation tha

Hi, I have a titanium Powerbook G4. This laptop does not have a key that sends "delete". It has a "delete" key, but Linux uses it as Backspace. Mozilla's mail/news reader wants to use a "delete" key for deleting a message. How can I fake a delete key? -- John -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to

Wacky 16bpp colors (KDE)

2002-04-23 Thread Michael D. Crawford
You need to use 15 bit color depth. I had the same problem. My Mac's not on right now or I could get you the XF86Config-4. Try configuring it yourself for 15 bit, and if you can't I'll boot it up later and post my config. Michael D. Crawford GoingWare Inc. - Expert Software Development and C

Wacky 16bpp colors (KDE)

2002-04-23 Thread Rich Johnson
Hey folks-- XServer insists on rendering "solarized" colors in 16bpp mode. My experience has been that this usually results from bad color maps. I've tried just about everything I can think of, but without success. I've searched the archives, but couldn't find a thread discussing this problem.

2.4.18 SMP custom kernel woes

Hi I'm having trouble getting a custom-compiled kernel to work on a G4 450Mhz SMP Mac. I first tried the 'kernel-image-2.4.18-powerpc-smp' package, but this didn't work as I needed the AIC7XXX driver compiled in, not as a module, due to my root fs being on an Adaptec scsi card. kernel-image

This is a good trick but does not always work. It's a good argument for having full mirrors. I realize we can't impose too heavy requirements, but it would be very useful to be able to identify sites which are incomplete and sites which carry the full mirror of that particular release. -Lars

Sure, a link from the install notes to the CD FAQ would be good. A short paragraph with the highlights plus a link would be even better. Keep in mind that (at least 3 years ago) your average web page has 20 links. So the likelihood that a new person will 'click their way forth' to the right pag
