Hi,
Can someone change my account name to "Elsipkitch9809"? Thanks

Thanks for posting that, I saw the ivtv webpage before, but I hadn't found that forum yet. And I found out part of my answers. While I'm still not sure about the pvr's audio problems (which it doesn't look like there are many of, or that they are similar at all to the windows ones--most of them look ...

I'm not sure I really need TV out at all, I don't know what I would use it for since I'm trying to get rid of my regular tv in lieu of something like this. Plus, the 350 is kind of on the expensive side, with the 150 being much cheaper (I saw one advertised at $54!). When you say that the default ...

Also, I've been reading that the pvr150 has had some audio recording problems (like the volume can't be controlled, it gets too loud or soft). Can anybody confirm this in linux (if its just a driver issue and not a hardware thing)? If it is hardware (or in a good portion of the batch out there ...

Well I found this interesting differentiation between the cards:
http://www.diy-pvr-dvr-htpc.com/index.php/Difference_Hauppauge_PVR150_PVR250_PVR350_PVR500
and it does seem that for all intents and purposes, the pvr150 is the same as the 250, except its cheaper. So I'll probably get that one ...

That one looks pretty good (the pvr150), especially since it's cheaper than the pvr250.... although looking at the official hauppauge pages, there doesn't seem to be any major differences between the two cards, but maybe I'm missing something obvious. I could probably afford the 250 since I've seen ...

Hi,
I'm looking for suggestions on a card or external device that will enable me to both play video games with no lag (the tv tuner part--though not HD stuff since I'm mainly referring to composite and Svideo), and a PVR that will help me record and encode on the fly movies from my vcr and cable and ...

I know this is a dead post but I found a way to convert dmgs under linux and wanted to post it up in case anyone else is having trouble.

I couldn't use the perl version of the program; even though I am 100% sure my dmgs mount correctly and are not corrupt, it would never work. However, downloading ...

Hi,
I've been searching and searching for a reason that this could be happening, but I have no idea and no one I've read about has even reported something like this, so I'm hoping someone can point me in the right direction.

Basically, when esvn starts all the menus, etc, work, but as soon as I ...

I did that before, but I remember I couldn't get much related to the monitor, just a lot of unrelated stuff and ads towards a computer with the same name or something Guess I'll try again this weekend though.

Yeah I don't know jack about this monitor, since its a very old hand-me-down from some pavilion. But I couldn't seem to find the exact specs so I just set it at conservative levels until some later time. I didn't think it would affect my fps though...

In any case, I went out and got a geforce fx ...

Whoops, I guess I didn't look hard enough before, since this has already been done
http://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=90476

They have one for 0.1.0 there, with much better ebuild syntax than mine

Oh well, at least someone's still working on emelfm2 udpates

Oh, as far as the style, I just used the default one without any configuration :P

I think the click and drag thing has been swapped out, yeah, I do remember doing that. I guess its drag n drop now, or maybe you can configure that. I'll have to take a looksee. I liked the idea of a trash can, since ...

Okay, it crashes a bit still, but only very occasionally when I'm changing permissions, and it doesn't seem to give an explanation and it actually does do the perm change. But crashing rarely is still better than not being able to use it at all :P

But I also noted that drag n drop has been put in ...

It doesn't have a gazillion new features, but I like the addition of a trashcan, as well as some other nice gui additions up front. It also looks nicer, but maybe that's just me :P

Oh yeah, and thanks for the note on portage. I think I'll submit the ebuild to bugzilla so we have at least more than ...

Slightly better version of the ebuild:

# Copyright 1999-2005 Gentoo Foundation

# $Header: $

inherit eutils toolchain-funcs

DESCRIPTION="A file manager that implements the popular two-pane design based on gtk+-2"
HOMEPAGE="http ...

Well, the config change didn't change much, however, I made a new ebuild for the latest (0.1.1) based off of the old ebuild and it works really great. In fact, it looks like ten times better than the version I last used, and it has more functionality that I had to implement myself last time (like a ...

That's wicked cool, thanks :)

Personally, I'm just psyched to find out that there is a way to just run the flash player standalone app ;) Most of my flash usage is in watching movies I download, so that actually solves the problem for my 64 system. And now that there's a way to link that to my ...

The ebuild itself doesn't lend itself to any obvious things I'm doing wrong. I have nls enabled, but it doesn't even check for it, just sets a compile flag. Very small ebuild.

I don't notice a huge difference in our emerge info aside from some use flags. I'll keep trying at this, as I also can't ...

I saw your thread about emelfm2 but I don't think its the same issue since I can't click on anything without that happening. Especially the config button.

If I double click on an icon, it can crash randomly. If I try to configure it, it crashes definitely.

I'll try to find out an action that ...

Hi,

Emelfm2 just dies after hitting... well anything. The easiest way to show this is to hit on the configure button. Wham, emelfm2 dies with this message:

This probably reflects a bug in the program.
The error was 'BadLength (poly request too large or internal Xlib length erro'.
(Details ...

Alright... I found some more really frustrating information about the support for my graphics card..

Okay, so direct rendering says "yes" and it's supposedly working, even though glxgears output is really really low. So I try enemy territory and it kindly informs me that I don't have any kind of 3d ...

I just realized after reading this post:
http://forums.gentoo.org/viewtopic.php?p=2694488#2694488

that my problems with fps seem like they might be a result of having a slow memory interface... I'm at work so I can't check but I think I do have a 64-bit interface to memory..

I'm getting 817 again ...

Did you solve this problem? I'm having close to the exact problem (except I was using open source drivers) now with my radeon 9250. I'm just getting very low numbers for glxgears, but direct rendering is *technically* working.
