  1. TV on The Rocky TiVo-DirecTV Relationship · · Score: 0

    It's pretty simple. TV is a tool used by your corporate masters to condition your little minds into being complient tools of their consumer market.

    As one who dosn't watch one regularly I am always astounded that people let _anyone_ treat them like the morons that the TV makes them out to be.

    Hmmm must be the transistors. I have Matrix 1 s and Sonic Frontiers tube Signature preamp and Sonic Frontiers tube monoblocks and yup 192 don't cut the mustard, flacs, especially 24 bit are nice. CDs no matter how carefully reproduced suck. You need a little vinyl for nice sound.

    But I have a girlfriend, so it must be the transistors ;).

  9. Re:great on Linux Kernel 2.6.11 Released · · Score: 0

    You need to turn off ide-scsi in your kernel. Then just use whatever the device is. I can burn to my scsi cd burner and my ide dvd burner using /dev/sr0 and /dev/dvd, which is a symlink to /dev/hda.

    Even the scsi burner works fine using it's device rather than 0,0,4.

    Use hdparm to insure DMA is set for the burner.

    You need to find CD-ROM/DVD Filesystems in File systems and turn on iso etc, udf can be turned on here too.

    You need to reconfigure your kernel from scratch when switching to 2.6, a lot of 2.4 definitions have changed. An old config from 2.4 won't do.

    2.6 kernel utilities are also required.

    Yeah what's fun for me is not fun for many, I do understand. I got into Linux because I fell in love with computers.

    Back then 'user hostile' was normal and a lot of us still like it like that. Apologies to the evangalists but I don't really care if Joe Sixpack has a hard time. I don't think Linus does either ... sorry ;).

    Not only does linux 2.6.10 up not need ide-scsi for burning it also does much improved packet writing. You need new utilities, get dvdrecord a fork of cdrecord works great with 'dev=/dev/dvd'.

    You need prolly an mm patch for UDF file support and pktsetup but once it's done packet writing now rocks.

    It'll be the new DRI that broke. Very likely because no one is going to reverse engineer what needs to be sussed for the new DRI. Yell at ATI if you want something done. If ATI wants to keep it's secrets the developers just lose interest after a while. Nividia is far more supportive of the Linux kernel effort than ATI.

    You don't need ide-scsi any more, since about 2.6.9, one of the release candidates. Just use /dev/dvd or whatever.

    ATI is not very supportive of Linux and we only have time to reverse engineer some of the propritory crap.

    Get a Nividia card for Linux.
