Native Sorenson Playback Comes to Linux

Pivot writes: "With the release of Xine v0.9.11a, it is now possible to play back Quicktime movies encoded with the Sorenson SVQ1 encoding natively. There are still some minor issues with sound, and still no support for SVQ3 encoding, but overall this is a major achievement. Downloads are at xine.sf.net. I wonder what apple will do about this." Note: you may have to cut and paste that "movies" link into a new tab or browser.

Resolution changing has been in X for as long as I've used X, and what the hell is the big deal? Even if it wasn't, it takes a grand total of 2 seconds to restart X.

Configuration is, manual, but works just fine as far as Im concerned. X can't just guess on everything... Use RedHat or some other boxed solution if you want a program to easilly configure X.

There IS VNC support... It's been around for quite some time. Why don't you quit your bitching and whining and actually look for it yourself! IT will take a minute or two of your own time. That means it will save you time, and everyone else's time replying to you... But then you wouldn't get the chance to whine about it to an unsympathetic anyonymous crowd.
