http:\/\/www.foundmagazine.com\/<\/a>) arrived in the mail. I read the whole thing cover to cover and enjoyed it a lot. It’s really werid to see little bits of other peoples lives like that. The next one isn’t due out for another six months or so, but that’s the way zines generally go, not as regular as normal mags. TMCM is the same way, but they try and be somewhat regular. I think I actually like Found better than TMCM. It sometimes feels like TMCM is trying too hard to be ‘indie’ and does have some political leanings that seems a bit out there for me. Found just is what it is, and doesn’t try and overcommentary. We’ll see what Found can do with their second issue (assuming they manage to get it out) and what it is like.<\/p>\nSat Jan 19 23:04:10 PST 2002<\/p>\n
So, after compiling xc and installing it to alt-X11R6, I tried to get the ATI drivers working. Below are the commands that I figured I would need to get the whole thing working.<\/p>\n
sync mv \/usr\/X11R6 \/usr\/X11R6-RH ln -s \/usr\/alt-X11R6 \/usr\/X11R6 rmmod radeon cd ~\/GATOS\/drm-kernel insmod .\/radeon.o \/sbin\/modprobe videodev cd ..\/km make test sync # fbtv, v41-conf scantv startx xawtv<\/p>\n
At least it didn’t crash the machine, but the drm-kernel mods or the ati.2 mods caused X to no no longer start, complaining about missing symbols or something similar. I basically have given up for now and pulled the ATI out of the linux machine and moved it back to the windows machine. I did put the Matrox G450 in the Linux box so that I could get better resolution and color over the built-in graphics and it’s performing well. I may even play around with dual-head sometime, but that’s for another day.<\/p>\n
After replacing the ATI in the WinXP box, I had a nice time playing a little UT and watching a little TV. I like having at least the basic functionality back, even if it is the wrong box. I think what I need to do is to get another hard drive (which I was planning on doing anyway) and replace the system disk in the WinXP machine with the new drive running linux so I can really experiment with the ATI drivers and not worry about crashing or messing up the configation on the main linux server.<\/p>\n
Speaking of pooh, I’m having some issues with the sound. I disabled the onboard sound to try and get the Equanox sound card working. I’m thinking this wasn’t such a bright idea. I had orignally thought that the sound issues in some of the MP3s were related to bad hardware, but the act of letting kudzu remove the configuration for the 815’s audio seems to have confused many other things, most critically the mixer. Also, the same audio artifacts, particularly in some of the .mp3’s seem to still be in the audio. Natasha’s Ghost seems to be the worst. It could be that the decoder has some problems, as they seem to play OK other places, but I really should double check on the WinXP system sometime, as I haven’t actually listened to that file on any other machine.<\/p>\n
If that is the case, then pulling the PCI audio would be a good thing to do, as that would also free up a PCI slot, possibly enabling a PCI-based video capture card. It seems that the Hauppage cards are much more popular and may be better supported. If that actually worked, then I could get dual-head displays and PVR support which would be incredibly, incredibly cool.<\/p>\n
But for now it’s time to concentrate on some more short term goals, like getting a basic home site up, practicing playing the guitar and getting song sheets set up for Bible study in two weeks.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
