  1. Re:Stability? Huh? on XFree86 4.0.1 Released · · Score: 1

    May I suggest the sane alternative of disabling the GL screensavers in your .xscreensaver, xlock or whatever, The drivers are reasonably solid and good, but running GL screensavers is asking for trouble.

    I'd found that If I left My machine a long time with GL screensavers, it would have COMPLETELY locked, so disable them.

  2. Re:not x-platform.... on Movies Online? · · Score: 1
    This unfortunately, is down to the companies with the proprietry (sp?) codecs unwilling to support the linux platform, see: http://xanim.va.pubnix.com/xa_unsuppor ted.html

    Mr Poldipec's wonderful Xanim supports a wide variety of Codecs already, see: http://xanim.va.pubnix.com/linuxELFx86 g21.html

    (or your appropriate platform, not everyone is stuck with these fscking x86 machines).

    Instead of complaining, do as Mr Poldipec suggests, send an email to the more uncooperative companies telling them how it is in their interests to support the rapidly emerging/growing linux platform.

    # Doesent enlightenment do something like this?

    yes, but /something like/ is as far as it goes.
