00:03.14 | kevin | oppd |
00:03.18 | MrGrim | they were helpful to me |
00:03.21 | Ertain | It's just that every time I try to compile this program, I get errors out the wazoo. Something about the KURLRequester widget not being defined properly, when in fact it has. It has been included, yet when I read up on the error, it isn't the definition in the source file. |
00:03.26 | kevin | glx is not supported with compsite |
00:03.47 | MrGrim | kevin: you have a commenting line in your driver section to fix that |

00:06.50 | kevin | i have it set to one |
00:06.52 | kevin | but commented out |
00:06.56 | kevin | should i turn it back on? |
00:07.24 | Lord-Phoenix | kevin: if you want to try composite with glx then yes, although it may be unstable |
00:07.34 | MrGrim | kevin: I told you to uncomment it |
00:07.37 | MrGrim | isn't that what you just did: |
00:07.40 | MrGrim | ? |
00:07.45 | kevin | no |
00:07.48 | MrGrim | .. |
00:07.50 | kevin | i just commented out the extention section |
00:07.53 | kevin | of composite |
00:07.54 | kevin | lol |
00:07.54 | Lord-Phoenix | MrGrim: i thought he said he was commenting out composite |
00:07.55 | MrGrim | heh |
00:07.56 | kevin | at the bottom |
00:08.01 | kevin | what |
00:08.07 | kevin | that did the tricki |
00:08.10 | kevin | it fixed glx |
00:08.18 | MrGrim | you said glx won't work with composite, and I told you you have a commented out line in the drivers section to fix that |
00:08.26 | Lord-Phoenix | MrGrim: stop it ;P |
00:08.26 | MrGrim | that would be the allowglxwithcomposite line |
00:08.45 | MrGrim | so you can have both composite and glx |
00:08.57 | kevin | ohh haha |
00:09.03 | kevin | sorry i was so anxious to get this working |
00:09.03 | Lord-Phoenix | kevin: for glx to work, you need either composite off, or composite && AllowGLXWithComposite on |
00:09.06 | kevin | i must have over read that |
00:09.49 | MrGrim | and on a completely unrelated note |

00:16.36 | kevin__ | i want to try out all these kde toys |
00:16.43 | MrGrim | I had 1.5G's of RAM, but I gave a 512 stick to a friend |
00:16.46 | MrGrim | still need to replace it |
00:17.00 | Lord-Phoenix | kevin__: although IMO it works best with static screenshots, rather than XComposite unless you have lotsa ram |
00:17.13 | kevin__ | does it refresh |
00:17.14 | kevin__ | tho |
00:17.17 | kevin__ | ? |
00:17.25 | Lord-Phoenix | MrGrim: s'all good, uneven ram can be weird anyway |
00:17.37 | MrGrim | Lord-Phoenix: no see I'm back in the stone ages |
00:17.42 | kevin__ | 1.5gig is uneven? |

00:18.01 | MrGrim | 1Ghz tbird w/ pc100 RAM |
00:18.08 | Lord-Phoenix | kevin__: if you tell it to use Xcomposite then yes, if you use static screenshots, i think so just not as often |

00:19.42 | Lord-Phoenix | kevin__: not sure |
00:19.48 | MrGrim | Lord-Phoenix: so since I have no dual channel there is no "uneven" for me |
00:19.53 | MrGrim | 1, 2, or 3 sticks it's all the same |

00:20.35 | Tm_T | canllaith: dunno, just to be sure ;p |
00:20.48 | MrGrim | in order to upgrade you have to buy two sticks of ram instead of just one |
00:20.49 | Lord-Phoenix | MrGrim: well it still impacts, although probably not bad if your not o'c ing |
00:20.58 | canllaith | it has 1.5GB in it atm - 2x 256, 2x 512. Lucky lots of slots |
00:21.04 | MrGrim | I oc, but only the multiplier |
00:21.11 | MrGrim | of the cpu |
00:21.19 | MrGrim | multiple sticks only has a very minor impact on latency |

00:34.45 | canllaith | gregday_: I put a 7200RPM seagate into the iMac DV+. Makes swapping much less painful. |
00:34.46 | Lord-Phoenix | when iPod can play flac, i'll think about it |
00:35.05 | Lord-Phoenix | i want a Cowon iAudio X5 |
00:35.11 | gregday_ | Lord-Phoenix: that will happen right after it can play ogg, which is about 10 minutes after NEVER |
00:35.12 | MrGrim | Lord-Phoenix: ahh .. yes the ipod is kind of a limited device in my eyes too |
00:35.20 | MrGrim | Lord-Phoenix: have you looked into the iAUDIO m3? |
00:35.31 | canllaith | Yup, which is how i like it. All it does is play mp3. That's all I want. |
00:35.51 | Lord-Phoenix | MrGrim: yeah, its nice, but the flac support is a little patchy |
00:35.56 | canllaith | gregday_: amarok can now shuffle music back and forth |

00:36.15 | MrGrim | Lord-Phoenix: have you played w/ one irl? |
00:36.17 | gregday_ | canllaith: yeah but im just not used to it yet.. im still more comfortable using one tool for one job, dumb as it is |
00:36.18 | Lord-Phoenix | MrGrim: but since the X5 has had flac support from the get go, its totally sweet |
00:36.26 | canllaith | I couldn't get gtkpod to ...... do anything |
00:36.27 | ama | they use bsd code, and reap all the benefits to open source |
00:36.28 | MrGrim | Lord-Phoenix: X5? |
00:36.32 | Lord-Phoenix | MrGrim: not yet, i really want to |
00:36.35 | gregday_ | canllaith: ive only ever hooked my ipod up to the mac once |
00:36.37 | ama | but when it comes to supporting an open source system, they fall silent |
00:36.44 | Lord-Phoenix | MrGrim: new one out |
00:36.49 | MrGrim | by iaudio? |
00:36.52 | MrGrim | jukebox? |
00:36.53 | canllaith | ama: so? No law says they have to do it and they fufill the requirements of GPL and LGPL when they use it. |
00:36.55 | gregday_ | ama: dont start that here, please... for the sake of everyone's sanity,, dont |
00:36.59 | Lord-Phoenix | yeah, hang a sec |
00:37.08 | canllaith | You might as well bitch that the tide goes in and out |
00:37.12 | MrGrim | iaudio stuff is very, very slick |
00:37.13 | ama | im not talking about laws |
00:37.17 | ama | im talking about respect |
00:37.20 | MrGrim | I'm surprised they are not very well known |
00:37.35 | Lord-Phoenix | MrGrim: its wicked that the M3 has the screen on the remote |
00:37.48 | Lord-Phoenix | MrGrim: i mean, i never want to rip my player out to see the screen |
00:37.56 | Lord-Phoenix | MrGrim: http://www.ascent.co.nz/mn-product-spec.asp?pid=339456 |
00:37.58 | MrGrim | Lord-Phoenix: HELL YES |
00:38.10 | MrGrim | EVERY other person I've talked to about it has mentioned that as a negative aspect |
00:38.16 | MrGrim | I think the remote is freakin awesome |
00:38.34 | Lord-Phoenix | MrGrim: thats like the best feature.....apart from flac and ogg of course :) |
00:38.44 | Lord-Phoenix | MrGrim: also http://www.cowonamerica.com/products/iaudio/x5/ |
00:38.53 | MrGrim | good to meet another iaudio fan |
00:39.05 | MrGrim | whoa HOLY SHIT that's a big price tag |
00:39.21 | Lord-Phoenix | MrGrim: the 20GB version is about $300 cheaper |
00:39.26 | ama | those things are overpriced |
00:39.40 | MrGrim | Lord-Phoenix: hmm I still would prefer the m3 |
00:39.44 | Lord-Phoenix | MrGrim: http://www.ascent.co.nz/mn-product-spec.asp?pid=339453 |
00:39.45 | ama | someone needs to mass produce them for 100 bucks |
00:39.54 | gregday_ | for the record, as a recent Mac owner (~1 year) (ibook, powerbook, mini...) and a linux geek of over 6 years now... i find KDE's interface, usability, feature set, freedom, and speed to be far above what the OSX Aqua desktop offers. just sayin. |
00:39.58 | MrGrim | I don't like the concept of integrating a video player and picture viewer in my music player |
00:40.11 | ama | me either |
00:40.13 | MrGrim | gregday_: amen |
00:40.24 | gregday_ | MrGrim: you dont wanna watch a movie on a 2" screen? what's your problem dude |
00:40.32 | Lord-Phoenix | ama: i don't see iPods going for $100 either...and they don't play jack, let alone ogg/flac/video/etc |
00:40.39 | MrGrim | rofl gregday_ |
00:40.50 | MrGrim | gregday_: well, one thing that'd make it worthwhile is svideo and digital audio outputs |
00:40.55 | ama | yeah that wont happen any time soon |
00:40.59 | Lord-Phoenix | MrGrim: i agree, however it is cool that the player is that powerful |
00:41.05 | ama | apple is making a tonn of money off those things |
00:41.06 | MrGrim | gregday_: you can take movies to a friends house, plug it into his tv's front ports |
00:41.15 | gregday_ | Lord-Phoenix: dont play jack? ah actually there is a release of the JACK audio interface for OSX that you can pipe sound through when playing back songs on the ipod through itunes :P |
00:41.18 | MrGrim | that'd be kinda neat |
00:41.46 | Lord-Phoenix | gregday_: heh :) its a good thing i wasn't being literal :) |
00:41.56 | Lord-Phoenix | MrGrim: here is where things really get silly http://www.headphone.com/ |
00:41.56 | MrGrim | if it was affordable |
00:42.15 | gregday_ | i was also really, really, really surprised to see an OpenAL framework in Tiger. i didnt think _anyone_ was supporting it yet |
00:42.21 | Lord-Phoenix | MrGrim: my flatmate and i are really lusting after some of the headphone and headphone amps here |
00:42.39 | MrGrim | hmm the color interface for playing music on the x5 looks sweet |
00:42.47 | MrGrim | damn |
00:42.54 | MrGrim | if I ever had a spare grand to spend I'd be really torn |
00:42.59 | MrGrim | dell 2405fpw |
00:43.01 | MrGrim | or iaudio x5 |
00:43.11 | Lord-Phoenix | MrGrim: yeah, i'm gonna work towards getting one once they've come down in price a little |
00:43.19 | Lord-Phoenix | MrGrim: dell 2405fpw? |
00:43.24 | MrGrim | 24" lcd |
00:43.26 | ama | why not just hum the music in your head you would save alot of money |
00:43.28 | MrGrim | 1920x1200 resolution |
00:43.39 | MrGrim | 16:10 aspect |
00:43.42 | ama | i would never buy a flat screen monitor |
00:43.46 | MrGrim | it is an absolutely gorgeous screen |
00:43.49 | ama | until they cost no more than 100 dollars |
00:43.49 | MrGrim | I had the chance to see one irl |
00:43.56 | MrGrim | I swear I about <censored> myself |
00:44.00 | sarah03 | Hm. I'll keep the mp3 player that I currently have. |
00:44.10 | ama | why not just buy a used emachine monitor |
00:44.10 | MrGrim | ama: I wouldn't buy a $100 crt |
00:44.12 | Lord-Phoenix | MrGrim: how much? and whats the response time on that baby? |
00:44.18 | ama | thats what i got, and it works |
00:44.25 | MrGrim | ama: the monitor is my pc's primary method of output |
00:44.30 | ama | i dont need any fancy overpriced monitor |
00:44.32 | MrGrim | and my pc is my primary source of entertainment |
00:44.36 | MrGrim | I want a damn good monitor |
00:44.49 | gregday_ | the dell2005fpw is also sweet for under $500 |
00:44.55 | gregday_ | if you look in the right places |
00:44.56 | ama | if i threw my monitor in the air, and you threw yours when they collided mine would break yours |
00:45.01 | Lord-Phoenix | ama: i like my eyes.....so i treat them nicely |
00:45.03 | MrGrim | Lord-Phoenix: I'm not sure of the exact #, but it uses that panel type that has very good grey to grey |
00:45.05 | sarah03 | ama: You'd be surprised just how much easier a more expensive monitor can be on your eyes. |
00:45.07 | MrGrim | the spec # is a bit high |
00:45.16 | gregday_ | ama: well isn't that the test of a truly good monitor? how it fares in aerial combat |
00:45.17 | MrGrim | but according to reviews because of th epanel type it performs quite well |
00:45.24 | ama | indeed gregday_ |
00:45.29 | sarah03 | gregday_: lol |
00:46.03 | MrGrim | my pc stays in my bedroom.. so it doubles as my dvd player and tv too |
00:46.10 | MrGrim | a 24" 16:10 lcd would be awesome for dvd's |
00:46.17 | MrGrim | not to mention the massive desktop space w/ 1920x1200 |
00:46.22 | Lord-Phoenix | MrGrim: coz we're talking $3500NZ for the average 24" lcd screen here |
00:46.24 | MrGrim | and for gaming... I bet it'd rock |
00:46.43 | ama | crts are better anyway |
00:46.49 | MrGrim | Lord-Phoenix: well one of the big things w/ the introduction of the dell unit is dell continued their habit of offering high end screens for rediculous low prives |
00:46.51 | Lord-Phoenix | MrGrim: oh....you know i've been talking NZ$ right? |
00:46.53 | MrGrim | on a relative scale |
00:46.54 | ama | lcd's dont last that long, and suffer from bad pixels |
00:46.54 | sarah03 | MrGrim: I'd find it useful. I wouldn't need a dual-head configuration for my desktop to feel right anymore. :) |
00:47.05 | ama | the colors are not as vibrant |
00:47.09 | MrGrim | Lord-Phoenix: oh.. no :P |
00:47.10 | ama | get a good crt |
00:47.13 | MrGrim | I've been speaking usd |
00:47.19 | ama | but never pay more than 100 dollars for a monitor |
00:47.23 | ama | or your being ripped off |
00:47.27 | ama | *are |
00:47.44 | Lord-Phoenix | ama: your eyes must hate you |
00:47.48 | sarah03 | ama: When you're talking about cheap used CRTs, I don't think you've got much room to speak. |
00:47.48 | MrGrim | ama: we get it, you don't give a fuck how well your display performs |
00:47.54 | MrGrim | I, however, do |
00:48.11 | MrGrim | and I'm sure others here do as well |
00:48.13 | gregday_ | ha ha ha |
00:48.19 | gregday_ | $100 |
00:48.46 | ama | i dont have your fancy ipods or 500 dollar monitors |
00:48.49 | Lord-Phoenix | a $100 blowjob would get me further than a $100 monitor probably |
00:48.52 | ama | i still have kde 3.3.0 |
00:48.58 | Tm_T | =) |
00:49.02 | canllaith | $500 ? good lord. What kind of cheap monitor is that? |
00:49.06 | canllaith | :P |
00:49.18 | MrGrim | ama: perfect geometry, a return policy from dell that saves you from dead pixels, extremely easy on the eyes, very sharp image, very large screen area, and quite acceptable color reproduction for a lcd |
00:49.19 | MrGrim | hell |
00:49.27 | MrGrim | the dell 2405fpw lcd prolly has better color than your sub $100 crt |
00:49.34 | ama | you believe dell? |
00:49.37 | canllaith | Prolly, they're getting very good now |
00:49.40 | MrGrim | and where did you get this "don't last long" thing from? |
00:49.44 | ama | its probably a hassle to return it |
00:49.47 | MrGrim | at worst you have to replace the backlight after a few years |
00:49.52 | canllaith | I have a 7 year old LCD here |
00:49.58 | sarah03 | ama: I don't know what you're talking about regarding LCD panels not lasting long. |
00:50.03 | canllaith | No problems. |
00:50.04 | ama | they probably will need to have you make a grid and pin point each of the dead pixels |
00:50.11 | gregday_ | it should be noted the Dell widescreen monitors are the exactly same components (aside from case) as the apple displays |
00:50.20 | ama | and if you miss one, your warrenty is voided and you dont get your monitor or money back |
00:50.21 | canllaith | gregday_: oh really? How interesting. |
00:50.24 | sarah03 | The LCD panel in the laptop that I'm currently using is probably a good 7-8 years old. |
00:50.25 | MrGrim | ama: you are being paranoid, I have spoken to many people who have taken advantage of dells generous return policy |
00:50.27 | MrGrim | and had no complaints |
00:50.30 | gregday_ | canllaith: yep, i believe the screen is from LG actually |
00:50.44 | MrGrim | ama: lcd pixels don't degrade w/ age.. the can't lose brightness because they don't emit light |
00:50.53 | ama | yes they do |
00:50.55 | MrGrim | the only part of an lcd that goes bad w/ time is the backlight |
00:50.57 | canllaith | sarah03: indeed, I have a few laptop panels like that. Nice screens too they made back then |
00:50.59 | Lord-Phoenix | hmm...i have to say though, LCD vendors are like the "man" |
00:50.59 | ama | then how can you see if it dosnt emit light? |
00:51.09 | sarah03 | ama: That's what a backlight is for. |
00:51.11 | MrGrim | BACKLIGHT |
00:51.13 | MrGrim | you moron |
00:51.13 | MrGrim | christ |
00:51.18 | gregday_ | canllaith: the dell 20" is around half the price of the apple one, but in a slightly uglier dell casing, but it does do rotation, has 4 usb ports, dvi, vga, svideo, composite.. picture-in-picture... lots of things the apple ones dont do |
00:51.19 | Lord-Phoenix | this whole you can't return them without 15 dead pixels thing is bullshit |
00:51.20 | ama | hahahaha |
00:51.21 | sarah03 | An LCD panel doesn't emit any light. It's a panel which simply changes color. |
00:51.29 | ama | you didnt say that MrGrim, until later |
00:51.32 | sarah03 | The light behind it is what causes it to light up. |
00:51.40 | MrGrim | [19:51] <MrGrim> the only part of an lcd that goes bad w/ time is the backlight |
00:51.41 | canllaith | gregday_: Nice. Very nice. I might have to look at those |
00:51.50 | ama | dunno it must have been alot of money for a lcd 7 to 8 years ago |
00:51.51 | MrGrim | [19:50] <MrGrim> at worst you have to replace the backlight after a few years |
00:51.59 | MrGrim | I mentioned it more than once |
00:52.01 | MrGrim | and a bit ago |
00:52.04 | *** join/#kde bobwhoops (~eric@69.37.213.194.adsl.snet.net) |
00:52.04 | gregday_ | dell's warranty policy is absolutely awesome on their flat panels |
00:52.10 | MrGrim | ama: I also kindly assumed you actually know how lcd's work |
00:52.11 | MrGrim | you know |
00:52.13 | MrGrim | before bashing them |
00:52.14 | sarah03 | canllaith: Yes, the older LCD panels are typically pretty decent, all things considered. They don't have the greatest color reproduction. |
00:52.18 | sarah03 | But beyond that. |
00:52.22 | ama | i do |
00:52.26 | canllaith | ama: so ? Who cares if it's a bit of money if it works 8 years later flawlessly and will also work flawlessly another 8 years later? |
00:52.43 | ama | a claim like that is highly suspect canllaith |
00:52.53 | canllaith | ama: lol come here and look at it you fool. |
00:52.58 | MrGrim | ama: except it's not suspect |
00:53.03 | MrGrim | because lcd's are not that new of a tech |
00:53.05 | MrGrim | and they DO last that long |
00:53.16 | canllaith | The one I'm using right now is 5 years old. |
00:53.32 | sarah03 | LCDs are new technology kind of like electronics. |
00:53.33 | Lord-Phoenix | the low end philips lcds are HORRIBLE, i'm not sure about their professional ones |
00:53.38 | canllaith | The colours are rather warm, although for graphics work better too warm than too cold.... |
00:53.51 | canllaith | Lord-Phoenix: We have a 20" philips LCD here and it's quite nice. |
00:53.53 | sarah03 | </sarcasm> |
00:53.55 | MrGrim | whereas my 5 year old lcd is losing brightness at an astonishing rate.. and this crappy fd trinitron has convergance issues on the edges due to its edge |
00:54.09 | MrGrim | the "lines" at 1/3 and 2/3 down the screen are now curved |
00:54.17 | *** join/#kde spiderworm (~spiderwor@ip68-3-31-10.ph.ph.cox.net) |
00:54.19 | MrGrim | and crt's only have the POTENTIAL for better color reproduction |
00:54.23 | sarah03 | My 5 year old NEC monitor only has one issue, and that's that one of the buttons on it finally broke. |
00:54.39 | Lord-Phoenix | canllaith: i'll believe it, i know philips usually have .... well a vast gulf between their upper and lower ranges |
00:54.41 | canllaith | Lord-Phoenix: although, I think the LCD on my 12" laptop is a bit crisper. I have no complaints about the high end philips though. |
00:54.47 | gregday_ | monitors? you're all suckers. my teletype and line printer has never failed me and never will |
00:54.48 | MrGrim | cheap crt's are not as good as expensive ones, and old ass cheap used crt's are probably worse than modern lcd's |
00:54.55 | sarah03 | gregday_: lol |
00:55.10 | gregday_ | also provides automatic hardcopy logging... of EVERYTHING |
00:55.11 | canllaith | Lord-Phoenix: yup. I have one of their lightframe CRT monitors (just the entry level 17" one, I think it retailed for around $600 new so it wasn't expensive compared to their graphic design range) |
00:55.21 | canllaith | It's very very lovely. |
00:55.35 | MrGrim | ama: I'm also guessing your cheap used crt hasn't even been calibrated |
00:55.37 | MrGrim | or has it? |
00:56.03 | canllaith | I got it at an auction for $70 and then took it in to have the knobs fiddled with. Best $70 I ever spent. |
00:56.06 | MrGrim | haha, gregday_ you rock |
00:56.16 | Lord-Phoenix | canllaith: i have a philips Brilliance 202P4 that i got from a friend of a friend for $600 when he went LCD |
00:56.22 | canllaith | Nice. |
00:56.30 | Lord-Phoenix | canllaith: 1600x1200 never looked so good |
00:56.41 | MrGrim | my monitor is a viewsonic professional series pf790 |
00:56.47 | MrGrim | 19" fd trinitron |
00:56.49 | Lord-Phoenix | i'd go 1920x1440 but i'm not that masochistic with my eyes :) |
00:56.50 | MrGrim | and I regret ever buyin git |
00:56.59 | canllaith | This one will only do 1152x864 at a refresh rate I can actually focus on without killing my eyes. |
00:57.09 | MrGrim | fd trinitrons age extremely poorly |
00:57.16 | MrGrim | if I ever buy a crt again it will be a shadow mask |
00:57.24 | canllaith | That's interesting to know MrGrim ........ so I guess I don't want to think about second hand ones of those? |
00:57.39 | Lord-Phoenix | this does 1920x1440 at 85Hz, and i won't go lower than 85Hz, but there i find fonts a little small |
00:57.47 | canllaith | Fair enough |
00:57.56 | MrGrim | canllaith: prolly not, my experience consists of my monitors poor aging, and discussions w/ cg artists and monitor repair techs |
00:58.03 | MrGrim | for what that is worth |
00:58.06 | MrGrim | but I'd avoid them |
00:58.14 | Lord-Phoenix | so i just use 1600x1200 and turn font size down as much as i can stand |
00:58.17 | gregday_ | too bad OSX is really only usably at around 1280x or higher |
00:58.36 | MrGrim | canllaith: you know the lines in fd trinitrons that are used to hold the phosphors in place? |
00:58.38 | canllaith | gregday_: heh my iMac DV is one of those little CRT ones at 1024x768 |
00:58.40 | canllaith | MrGrim: yes |
00:58.44 | MrGrim | little wires behind the screen |
00:58.49 | MrGrim | canllaith: on many models they will start to sag |
00:58.56 | canllaith | I have to physically restrain myself from using those wires to line things up in photoshop. |
00:59.03 | MrGrim | causing color and convergance issues all around the edge of the screen |
00:59.08 | canllaith | yuck. |
00:59.11 | Lord-Phoenix | MrGrim: haha, i knew a guy once who didn't know about the lines on the trinitrons and spend 2 days on a graphics assignment trying to 'fix' the problem :) |
00:59.15 | gregday_ | canllaith: dont you find the dock, menubar, titlebar controls... getting in the way? |
00:59.17 | MrGrim | my also requires extremely exccesive gamma correction |
00:59.20 | canllaith | gregday_: yes |
00:59.20 | MrGrim | after only 5 years |
00:59.58 | *** join/#kde N17R0 (~n17r0@amf-zlh-90d6.adsl.wanadoo.nl) |

01:00.00 | canllaith | gregday_: http://www.hoult.org/~canllaith/foo/pink.png |
01:00.03 | MrGrim | those are my gamma values |
01:00.19 | canllaith | That there is all I use it for, really. It sits there blaring music and running chat programs, and I do real work on the linux laptop |
01:00.20 | MrGrim | blue lost brightness a lot quicker than red or green |
01:00.29 | MrGrim | for a while all my darker colors had a nasty red tint |
01:00.31 | sarah03 | Hm. I've had one CRT that I've been particularly happy with. They aren't made anymore, AFAIK. But that was a long time ago, so... |
01:01.04 | MrGrim | canllaith: so I am stuck with a dark and blurry 19" trinitron w/ bad color and convergance problems |
01:01.07 | MrGrim | after a mere 5 years |
01:01.11 | sarah03 | Said monitor was an old NEC MultiSync 5FG. Which someone tossed by a dumpster. |
01:01.25 | sarah03 | Worked pretty decently, as I recall. |
01:01.37 | gregday_ | canllaith: a screenshot just isn't complete without `top` |
01:01.37 | MrGrim | I suppose all crt's darken w/ time as the phosphors age |
01:01.39 | sarah03 | But I was about 11 at the time that I picked it up and found it to work, so... |
01:01.40 | MrGrim | but 5 years isn't THAT lon |
01:01.41 | MrGrim | g |
01:01.42 | canllaith | There is a 17" trinitron on a shelf here, I don't like the picture on it much though |
01:01.59 | canllaith | gregday_: heh well, something was hogging my cpu and making it run like a dog. Turned out it was OSX ;) |
01:02.08 | MrGrim | lol canllaith |
01:02.10 | sarah03 | It died about 8 years ago. |
01:02.32 | MrGrim | I had a screenshot w/ pearpc, zsnes, pcsx, and vmware running once.. |
01:02.34 | MrGrim | that was fun |
01:02.34 | gregday_ | canllaith: i take it you're not on tiger yet? |
01:02.37 | sarah03 | Had a nice crisp picture, right until it just up and decided that it wasn't going to work. |
01:02.52 | canllaith | gregday_: no we're still in panther here. Not upgrading to a .0 release too hastily |
01:02.53 | MrGrim | sarah03: I have bad luck w/ monitors |
01:03.11 | MrGrim | the one I had before this was an optiquest v95.. it's picture went bad in a very weird way |
01:03.17 | gregday_ | canllaith: well since you have Grab.app open, one nice little feature of TIger is the screenshot hotkey cmd-shift-3 now saves to PNG rather than PDF (what were you thinking apple) |

01:10.22 | MrGrim | Lord-Phoenix: the default is 5, I typically use 8 |
01:10.32 | Garibaldi | any idea how to fix that? |

01:11.05 | Lord-Phoenix | MrGrim: yeah same, don't worry though, theres always firmware releases, and if needs be, a clever script will do the job |

01:12.31 | rendie | im using kde 4.5.0 slack |
01:12.36 | Garibaldi | Get a popup - "KMail encountered a fatal error and will terminate now" |
01:12.43 | canllaith | worried? Why worried? :\ |
01:12.52 | Lord-Phoenix | MrGrim: no i don't think so |
01:13.11 | canllaith | Lord-Phoenix: the low resolution is kinda annoying, but it's a reasonable tradeoff for portability. I wouldn't replace my desktop with a laptop, but it's nice to have. |
01:13.33 | MrGrim | Lord-Phoenix: it catalouges (sp?) music on samba shares and plays it back.. mp3, wma, and wav files |
01:13.44 | MrGrim | Lord-Phoenix: it's a stereo component |
01:13.58 | MrGrim | Lord-Phoenix: it's discontinued, but it was a bit unique in how it worked.. |
01:14.01 | Lord-Phoenix | MrGrim: does it have a website somewhere? |
01:14.18 | MrGrim | Lord-Phoenix: I'd do a google search for audiotron, and turtle beach might still have info on it |
01:14.21 | Lord-Phoenix | oh :( sounds cool though |
01:14.44 | gregday_ | rendie: kde 4.5.0? |
01:14.46 | MrGrim | Lord-Phoenix: anyways, I'm writing samba plugin to decode ogg and flac on the fly server side and present it to clients as a wav file |
01:15.02 | rendie | gregday_, yea made it myself |
01:15.07 | MrGrim | Lord-Phoenix: so the audiotron can play ogg and flac by being tricked into thinking they are wav |
01:15.14 | rendie | im one of the devs...its in alpha stages |
01:15.31 | gregday_ | ..........right |
01:15.41 | MrGrim | Lord-Phoenix: the audiotron also supports tags in wav files (not mp3 tags.. it uses an existing but widely unused standard in the wav format) |
01:15.55 | rendie | i am right, thank u for pointing that out |
01:15.56 | MrGrim | Lord-Phoenix: but it can also read a pre generated index file that can contain tag info |
01:16.21 | MrGrim | Lord-Phoenix: I was hoping you'd have heard about it and owned one so I could finally have a tester :) |
01:16.36 | canllaith | ack. I turn coloured nicks on and immediately it makes MrGrim pink. |

01:23.19 | Garibaldi | MrGrim: same here |
01:23.39 | MrGrim | Lord-Phoenix: listen to this then you might enjoy it.. what I had to do to get on the fly ogg decoding to work w/ the audiotron |
01:23.42 | Garibaldi | and at any rate, I've had this going for almost 2 months. I'd think if it were a 'ricing' issue, I would have had the problem originally |
01:23.46 | Lord-Phoenix | MrGrim: mostly though, i'm a comp-sci student which mean part-coding anyway |
01:23.49 | Garibaldi | but this just started today |
01:24.18 | MrGrim | Lord-Phoenix: apparantly the audiotron has practically no headroom in cpu power.. it has JUST enough to do what it advertises it does |
01:24.23 | Lord-Phoenix | are we talking funroll-loops here? |
01:24.31 | MrGrim | Lord-Phoenix: my first implementation had the decoding of the vorbis stream in the read vfs routine |
01:24.46 | sarah03 | Garibaldi: I haven't a clue why - but that's mostly because I don't use kmail. I haven't really ever found a GUI mail client that I like, though. |
01:24.52 | MrGrim | Lord-Phoenix: apparantly the small delay that added to the read loop caused skipping in the audiotron |
01:24.59 | MrGrim | as precious cpu cycles were wasted waiting for the decoder |
01:25.08 | MrGrim | or the read routein to exit |
01:25.09 | Garibaldi | sarah03: mutt? :-) |
01:25.13 | sarah03 | Garibaldi: pine |
01:25.21 | Garibaldi | ugh :-P |
01:25.25 | Garibaldi | don't care for pico |
01:25.32 | MrGrim | Lord-Phoenix: so I ended up using a forked process and a mmap area to communicate between the two |
01:25.38 | MrGrim | and moved the decoder to the forked process |
01:25.46 | MrGrim | so I could slim up the read routine as much as possible |
01:25.55 | MrGrim | anyways... it made the entire implementation rediculously complex |
01:26.01 | MrGrim | but it succeeded in eliminating the skipping |
01:26.06 | sarah03 | Garibaldi: Old habits die hard. Pine was my first actual mail client, and will probably be the one that I end up using until I find one that I like better. |
01:26.08 | Lord-Phoenix | MrGrim: heh, nice :) |
01:26.56 | Lord-Phoenix | MrGrim: programming on limited devices is not fun....had some issues like that recently when working with lego robots, though not that bad thank god :) |
01:27.03 | Garibaldi | sarah03: I use mutt 'cause it lets me use vim as the editor |
01:27.08 | Garibaldi | use to use elm |
01:27.19 | MrGrim | Lord-Phoenix: it's not ideal yet.. what I currently do is mmap a file in /tmp and do a full on decode of the entire stream to the file as fast as the forked process can do it.. and the read routine has a tiny loop to make sure it's gotten far enough in the decode to play the area of the wav to read is requesting |
01:27.20 | Garibaldi | but I like kmail for a gui env |
01:27.28 | Garibaldi | (if I can get it working again) |
01:27.35 | MrGrim | I have an idea for a buffering system that'll keep the read routine slim |
01:27.47 | MrGrim | and not use up so much virtual address space, and not need a file in /tmp |
01:28.21 | MrGrim | I just haven't gotten around to implementing it yet |
01:28.27 | sarah03 | Mm. Well, the phone just came back. |
01:28.30 | MrGrim | it should be really slick when I do tho.. |
01:28.57 | MrGrim | Lord-Phoenix: I enjoyed this... that module is the first time I dived this deep into linux coding.. first time I ever used fork or mmap or waitpid etc. |
01:29.10 | MrGrim | Lord-Phoenix: and the solution, tho complex, will be quite eloquent when I finish it |
01:29.15 | Lord-Phoenix | MrGrim: heh, i'm probably the worst at that sort of programming |
01:29.41 | MrGrim | I just wish I knew one other person with an audiotron that uses a samba server |
01:29.43 | MrGrim | and wants ogg support |
01:29.50 | MrGrim | so I could have at least one tester |
01:29.50 | Lord-Phoenix | MrGrim: i like to keep my architecture and design as nice and clean as possible |

01:30.33 | can|mac | oh, you have DSL now sarah03 ? :D |
01:30.37 | MrGrim | Lord-Phoenix: well I love a challenge... and working within samba's inability to handle multithreaded modules and making the read routine as slim as possible was quite a challenge |
01:30.44 | MrGrim | and I think I came up with a very neat solution |
01:30.49 | sarah03 | can|mac: 3.3Mbit downstream, 832kbit upstream. :D |

01:38.48 | Lord-Phoenix | MrGrim: http://www.ascent.co.nz/mn-product-spec.asp?pid=338285 |
01:39.01 | MrGrim | Lord-Phoenix: silentpcreview.com has links to some highly efficient and extremely silent psu's |
01:39.04 | MrGrim | don't remember the brand |
01:39.12 | MrGrim | but they hit efficiency in the lower 90th percentile |
01:39.17 | sarah03 | I've only got a wee itty bitty 300W PSU in my system right now. |

01:39.21 | Lord-Phoenix | MrGrim: oh, its an amd64 system, but that power supply is completely unneccesary, i got it because for a while i thought i was having power troubles |
01:39.25 | MrGrim | so they need little cooling |
01:39.30 | MrGrim | and so are very quiet |
01:40.01 | MrGrim | sarah03: I had an old generic antec 300 watt psu in my system... I WAS having power issues with it |
01:40.10 | MrGrim | power issues that liked to eat dimms |
01:40.27 | MrGrim | I went through 3 512 sticks before I found the problem |
01:40.31 | sarah03 | MrGrim: Can't say I've had any power issues with my machine; more CPU fan issues. |
01:40.48 | MrGrim | fortunately the last 2 cpu fans I had made noise before failure |
01:41.02 | sarah03 | My CPU fan never quite failed. |
01:41.07 | MrGrim | tho I had a gou fan fail w/ warning once |
01:41.12 | MrGrim | I thought my monitor was going bad |
01:41.12 | Lord-Phoenix | MrGrim: my next purchase is likely to be....let me find it |
01:41.17 | MrGrim | blur and bad color etc |

01:41.40 | Dhraakellian | sound system isn't wanting to start |
01:41.41 | sarah03 | The CPU fan just got to the point that it was incapable of cooling my processor effectively. |
01:41.49 | Lord-Phoenix | MrGrim: i almost lost my mobo to a cpu cooler that was shorting my mobo out |
01:41.57 | sarah03 | Bearings failed. |
01:41.59 | Dhraakellian | hmm... |
01:42.44 | MrGrim | Lord-Phoenix: damn that pus is overkill for a dual dual opteron system with 3 optical drives and 4 10k rpm hdds :P |
01:42.48 | MrGrim | psu* |
01:43.18 | MrGrim | sarah03: ya .. I've replaced the fan on mine twice.. I know how it goes |
01:43.43 | MrGrim | enermax's are reliable |
01:43.46 | can|mac | Yup yup |
01:43.52 | sarah03 | I popped the fan off of a P4 CPU cooler that was floating around and tossed it into my Athlon box. |
01:43.52 | MrGrim | tho not as efficient and quiet as I'd like |
01:44.08 | can|mac | Yeah it could be a bit more quiet. It's much quieter than the crappy 300w that came with this case. |
01:44.21 | Lord-Phoenix | MrGrim: yeah, tell me about it |
01:44.33 | MrGrim | sarah03: the nice thing about my heatsink is it's designed for your standard 92mm case fan :P |
01:45.06 | MrGrim | don't even need to take it off the cpu thank god |
01:45.23 | MrGrim | I freak every time I have a need to change or simply remove my heatsink for a bit |
01:45.28 | MrGrim | so worried I'm gonna fuck up the core |

01:45.49 | sarah03 | I'm not worried so much about it because I could spend $20 on a new processor. |
01:45.56 | sarah03 | At most. |
01:45.59 | MrGrim | one time in an effort to get the clip off I was using a knife to press down on the tab that you use to get the clip off |
01:46.02 | MrGrim | and the knife slipped |
01:46.09 | MrGrim | I have a huge chunk taken out of my mobo where that happened |
01:46.17 | sarah03 | That's what Thunderbird-series Athlon processors go for these days, I imagine. |
01:46.29 | MrGrim | I still thank the heavens for my dumb luck |

01:46.45 | MrGrim | cause the mobo still works flawless :D |
01:46.46 | Lord-Phoenix | MrGrim: be afraid, be VERY afraid....last time i had my cpu out, i dropped it, and bent 3 of the pins!!!! F*CK |
01:47.05 | MrGrim | Lord-Phoenix: bent pins are only bad if you break them bending them back :P |
01:47.16 | Lord-Phoenix | MrGrim: thank god for tweezers && needle-nose pliers is all i can say O_O |
01:47.23 | sarah03 | I've managed to bend pins on my CPUs before.. usually I find that I can bend them back with a credit card or such. |
01:47.38 | gregday_ | the edge of a flathead screwdriver will do it too |

01:48.10 | MrGrim | and pray like hell when you turn it on |

01:48.19 | gregday_ | can|mac: the P4 heatsinks likewise scare the bejeezus out of me |
01:48.20 | Lord-Phoenix | gregday_: 939 pins is a lot, and they were positioned so to would be hard to use a screwdriver like that |

04:48.42 | eean | Quinn_Storm: hehe, that's an off-topic question for #kde |
04:48.53 | Quinn_Storm | ah, didn't realize there was a #qt |
04:48.56 | eean | kde api questions go to #kde-devel :) |
04:49.02 | eean | didn't realize that either |
04:49.26 | eean | if your developing a kde app, they don't mind them in kde-devel either |
04:49.44 | Quinn_Storm | ok, cool, I'm working on hacking at kopete |
04:49.55 | eean | great |
04:50.06 | Quinn_Storm | I'm trying to make it retain away status when it auto-reconnects |
04:50.14 | eean | oh, that makes sense |
04:50.28 | eean | can you make it compile on my computer? :D |
04:50.45 | Quinn_Storm | what's your system, eean? gcc ver, kde ver, etc.? |
04:50.52 | eean | 3.4 |
04:50.57 | eean | kde svn |
04:51.00 | eean | amd64 |
04:51.04 | Quinn_Storm | ah, I don't know about against kde svn on amd64 |
04:51.17 | eean | it tries to compile some linux headers as C++ I think |
04:51.21 | Quinn_Storm | I am compiling against kde 3.4 on ix86(32) |
04:51.36 | Quinn_Storm | sounds like it might be an amd64 problem...unsermake or just make? |
04:51.38 | eean | in the video stuff |
04:51.42 | Quinn_Storm | ahh yeah |
04:51.42 | eean | unsermake |
04:51.49 | Quinn_Storm | I think there's a config option to turn off the video stuff now |

04:52.34 | eean | I've been missing the bandwidth kicker applet |
04:53.38 | Quinn_Storm | grr, libkopete is linked against everything so each tiny change to it makes a big relink / recompile (if I change a header file) |

04:54.42 | Quinn_Storm | maybe they set the default backwards to what the help says |
04:55.36 | eean | maybe I should file a bug as a sneaky way of getting help with my compile error :D |
04:55.42 | Quinn_Storm | lol |
04:55.55 | Quinn_Storm | I think the av stuff has been causing compile errors for lots of people |
04:56.03 | eean | good |
04:56.15 | Quinn_Storm | its alpha code...and definately should be off by default in the configure |
04:56.27 | eean | well, its alpha software |
04:56.30 | Quinn_Storm | lol |
04:56.34 | eean | so you can't berudge them for that |
04:56.38 | Quinn_Storm | yeah |

10:18.49 | Dyllan | mustasj, I just get really frustrated when the Kiosk Admin Tool only does half the locking down, then i have to edit the files myself, like konquerorrc and kdeglobals and add extra stuff.

10:23.04 | Dyllan | mustasj, Let me give you an example; I have +-200 users. So of course its easier for me to configure 1 profile for everyone. So i use Kiosk tool to apply the Restrictions. Then i create a test user, setup the Control Center, desktop Icons, Panel and everything else just the way i want it. Then i overwrite the kdeglobals and other files with those that the Kiosk Admin Tool created. Wallah, i get a desktop that is locked down and setup just like i want it. Problem |
10:23.04 | Dyllan | e to do and lots of hair pulling. The kiosk tool could be built to do all of that. :) |
10:26.26 | Dyllan | mustasj, Futhermore, i dont use the KioskAdmin tool to actually handle my user profiles, it just generates a nice and easy kdeglobals. I use /etc/skel to handle everything :/ |
10:27.22 | mustasj | I have no experience with kiosk, I would have created a nice desktop, icon, backupground and so on, then put ~/.kde directory to /etc/skel so that all new users would get the same .kde, then I would configure all users to a group called kiosk or something where the restrictions apply |

14:36.40 | lauri | we don't know what they are |
14:37.07 | OrangeSun | lauri: perhaps another question would be: What stage of development is 3.4.1 at? |
14:37.14 | lauri | the tarballs are available for packaging, but are not meant to be public yet |
14:37.21 | OrangeSun | oh.. |
14:37.34 | DortisanA | 3.4.1 is hard masked on gentoo... i don't think all packages are available though |
14:37.34 | OrangeSun | then we have different definitions of "release" :: ) |
14:37.35 | lauri | so it is not announced, not final, and until it is, we could pull it at any moment if a bug is found during packaging (it happens, sometimes) |
14:37.41 | lauri | OrangeSun: no, we don't |
14:37.47 | lauri | KDE has *not* released 3.4.1 |
14:38.03 | lauri | there has been no announcement, and the tarballs are not available for public download |
14:38.10 | lauri | until those two things happen, it is not released |
14:38.16 | *** join/#kde elephant (~elephantm@217.167.222.224) |
14:38.43 | OrangeSun | lauri: But the tarballs are available, and the 3.4.1 in the packs is the "real" 3.4.1 that will be "released" -- that's my definition |
14:38.51 | *** join/#kde xzz (xzz@zappa.halden.net) |
14:39.09 | lauri | where are the tarballs available from? |
14:39.20 | OrangeSun | gentoo? |
14:39.30 | OrangeSun | also I saw packs for mandriva (thacs) |
14:39.54 | lauri | and there are other packages being made too |
14:40.03 | lauri | but until there is an announcement, it's not released |
14:40.09 | lauri | it's not that hard to understand, surely |
14:41.00 | lauri | ftp://ftp.kde.org/pub/kde/stable <-- when there is a 3.4.1 directory here, and an announcement has been made |
14:41.14 | OrangeSun | lauri: I get it. You're stuck on some probably real definition to the detriment of our conversation |
14:41.32 | lauri | OrangeSun: no, I'm just sick to death of people preempting the release |
14:41.39 | lauri | hammering the ftp servers (when it's not *there* yet) |
14:42.04 | lauri | and using whatever the hell gentoo releases and filing bugs and things, about versoins KDE has not released to the public yet |
14:42.30 | lauri | and gentoo isn't the only one to do it, but it's really rude, and it *is* *not* *released* yet |
14:42.44 | lauri | it maybe available, via back channels, that still *is* *not* *released* |
14:43.36 | OrangeSun | lauri: I see you are frustrated, but I think the real answer is "Packages of The Real Thing may be available, but it has not been officially released" |
14:43.37 | lauri | and if KDE pulls the release (and it's happened, later in the schedule than this) , we've skipped whole minor versions before, it may never be released |
14:43.45 | lauri | correct |
14:44.03 | OrangeSun | that's it.. no need to bite my head off.. I didn't make the packs.. |
14:44.12 | OrangeSun | I'm just asking if it's an RC or beta or what. |

18:11.26 | annma | osh: most devels do that |
18:11.28 | osh | annma: Haven't done that since KDE1.x. I recall that being as unfun as compiling X and glibc. Did all that when I was young and ambitious... |

18:15.33 | Dhraakellian | hmm... |
18:15.36 | apow | no kde looked like default install |
18:15.37 | sism | the thing is i dont know wich application that 'handles' the trash and system icon functions |
18:15.43 | apow | like, compiling from source |
18:15.48 | Dhraakellian | the semester is over |
18:15.51 | apow | the same as my gentoo box at home |
18:16.02 | annma | apow: I believe that |

18:16.12 | annma | I don't know what osh does not like it |

18:17.32 | annma | kde ships kdelibs and kdebase as whole tarballs |
18:17.39 | annma | not split |

18:17.54 | Dhraakellian | heh |
18:18.00 | osh | annma: One example? Compare Synaptic and Kynaptic. And I'm just asking for your opinions. All distros have good and bad sides. I'm just trying to find out what strenghts and weaknesses you've found in different distros. |

20:38.53 | Vjaz | Anyways... |
20:38.55 | Blissex | Vjaz: there are KDE FAQs with bits about Konqueror, and also a KDE user guide TNG that has a few more bits |
20:39.10 | Vjaz | The first thing is "rocker" gestures. |
20:39.19 | Vjaz | Like in Opera and some Firefox extensions. |
20:39.23 | Vjaz | Anyone know what I'm talking about? |

20:40.38 | annma | not at all |
20:40.46 | Vjaz | It's basically just a neat way of using the "Back" and "Forward" movements. |
20:40.51 | annma | did you try kde-apps for extensions if any? |
20:41.03 | Vjaz | Hold right mouse button, click with left. That moves back. |
20:41.10 | Vjaz | The other way around moves forward. |
20:41.15 | annma | or do you want to hack the code yourself? |
20:41.21 | desowin | is there any kde polish channel ? |
20:41.43 | Vjaz | Well it's not that complex, so I possibly could, but I would be surprised if no one had already done it. |
20:42.48 | Vjaz | annma: The website kde-apps? I think I hadn't heard of it before (googled it). thanks |
20:42.49 | slayerbob | you mean like how a 7 button mouse uses the side buttons ? |
20:43.12 | Vjaz | Hm... I don't know how a 7 button mouse uses the side buttons. |
20:43.32 | slayerbob | well usually the left-side button is mapped to back, and the right-side button is mapped to forward |
20:43.53 | Vjaz | Ok, well I'm not exactly looking for that. |
20:44.17 | Vjaz | I want it so that if I click with the left button while holding the right button, the browser goes back. |
20:44.35 | Vjaz | And if I click the right button while holding the left button, the browser goes forward. |
20:44.37 | slayerbob | yes i know |
20:44.52 | slayerbob | i was just pointing out that it might be simpler to just buy another mouse :) |
20:46.00 | Vjaz | Oh. I don't know if I can find a trackball with 7 buttons. |
20:46.31 | slayerbob | they are easy to find :) |
20:46.39 | mae | where does one go to view and edit the kde hotkeys |
20:47.26 | Vjaz | mae: In the control center. Under "Regional & Accessibility" |
20:47.36 | mae | tyvm |
20:47.40 | Vjaz | slayerbob: Think so? |
20:47.44 | slayerbob | mae: kcontrol > Regional & Accessibility > KHotkeys |
20:48.02 | slayerbob | Vjaz: well i used to own a computer store and we sold them :) |
20:48.08 | slayerbob | so i know they existed at one time |
20:48.10 | Vjaz | slayerbob: Heh, ok. |
20:48.12 | slayerbob | i presume that they still do :P |
20:49.04 | Vjaz | slayerbob: This reminds me of this article I read about the Apple 1 button mouse. Someone pointed out that the interface in fact did use two buttons. The other one was called "double click". |
20:49.17 | slayerbob | lol |
20:49.27 | Vjaz | slayerbob: This is kind of the same thing. My mouse has five buttons. Two of them are called "rockers". :-P |

20:51.00 | slayerbob | you can double click all of the buttons usually |
20:51.09 | slayerbob | except for the scroll wheel type thingos |
20:51.16 | *** join/#kde nexu (~nexu@2001:888:10:284:bad:a55:c0de:ba5e) |
20:51.26 | Vjaz | Well yeah, but it's easiest to double click with the index finger. |
20:52.38 | Vjaz | And yeah, it's almost impossible to double click the wheel. |
20:53.15 | slayerbob | well... it is more a case of the wheel being expected to multi-click :P |
20:54.11 | Vjaz | Found a four button trackball, but it only has four buttons, no wheel, and it's operated with the index and middle fingers instead of the thumb... |
20:54.32 | mae | are there any plans to make a fully functional pager applet |
20:54.43 | Vjaz | slayerbob: Well I meant actually pressing the wheel down, like you can do with most wheels. |
20:54.56 | slayerbob | Vjaz: that is a separate mouse button |
20:55.06 | slayerbob | this is why normal scroll mouses are called 5-button mouses |
20:55.20 | slayerbob | three buttons (one on the wheel) plus wheel up and wheel down |
20:55.29 | Vjaz | Yes, I know. |

20:58.55 | Vjaz | Found a 7 button trackball by Logitech. Of course, it has different ball operation from my current trackball. |
20:58.59 | Vjaz | It looks *huge*. |
20:59.56 | Vjaz | Whoa, but Microsoft has one that is operated with the thumb. They've kind of embedded the two extra buttons in the two big buttons. |
21:00.23 | Vjaz | I have a bad feeling about that. |
21:01.00 | Vjaz | Dunno where else you'd put the extra buttons. |
21:01.31 | Vjaz | But this probably interests no one, and it is beyond my purpose of looking for the rocker gesture feature. |
21:02.46 | Vjaz | But that's not all! |
21:02.58 | Vjaz | I had other things (at least one thing) I was looking for Konqueror. |
21:03.06 | Vjaz | (couldn't find either at kde-apps, btw) |
21:03.56 | Vjaz | This is something both Opera and Firefox have. I want to write for example "google konqueror extensions" in the address bar to make it google for "konqueror extensions" |

23:40.32 | slayerbob | Tronic: they heard of it - but for top quality stuff a couple of years ago irq sharing was insufficiently developed |
23:40.40 | MrGrim | Tronic: ya... the sblive was picky about how the chipset worked |
23:40.52 | slayerbob | i just made sure i had a nice motherboard to go with it |
23:41.04 | MrGrim | I have a kt133 board which was notorious for not liking sblives |
23:41.11 | MrGrim | a bios update fixed it tho thankfully |
23:41.17 | slayerbob | heh |
23:41.17 | Tronic | slayerbob: Nah, they just didn't know how to do it right. Not even with the original Audigy. |
23:41.32 | MrGrim | I think Tronic is correct tho |
23:41.34 | slayerbob | i had the asus kt133a - worked flawlessly in every slot on that |
23:41.45 | MrGrim | slayerbob: kt133a != kt33 |
23:41.55 | slayerbob | yeah he is - noone knew how to do irq sharing properly back then |
23:41.56 | MrGrim | the kt133 doesn't support 133mhz fsb even |
23:41.59 | MrGrim | even tho it is called kt133... |
23:42.04 | MrGrim | good ol' via and their marketing |
23:42.08 | slayerbob | MrGrim: i know - that is why i got the kt133a - it was the first decent via chipset |
23:42.18 | marcusU | Tronic: OSS/non-Free worked great with my 2.0 and 2.2 kernels, failed with my 2.4, and now works again with my 2.6. The volume levels of my Ensoniq 1370 are great with it. |
23:42.26 | MrGrim | slayerbob: decent being gneerous |
23:42.29 | marcusU | (The volume levels with OSS/Free and ALSA are really screwed up.) |
23:42.42 | slayerbob | MrGrim: well... relative to their previous offerings :P |
23:42.53 | slayerbob | actually i am still using that board in my desktop today |
23:43.07 | slayerbob | oh no wait |
23:43.13 | slayerbob | i am still using the soltek board |
23:43.14 | MrGrim | anyways, iirc the sblive has such problems w/ it because it uses some hack or assumes something about the pci bus that isn't part of the standard... or it abuses the standard |
23:43.15 | MrGrim | something |
23:43.16 | slayerbob | sold the asus one iirc |
23:43.17 | MrGrim | I forget exactly |
23:43.26 | slayerbob | oh no |
23:43.29 | slayerbob | i am forgetting |
23:43.30 | slayerbob | :S |
23:43.49 | slayerbob | Tronic: they required far less resources |
23:43.58 | Tronic | marcusU: Volume levels? |
23:44.06 | slayerbob | the whole point of the sblive! was that it did everything |
23:44.16 | slayerbob | most onboard solutions are powered by the cpu at least partially |
23:44.18 | Tronic | marcusU: You mean having to adjust to 74 instead of 100 to get the full undistorted volume? |
23:44.52 | MrGrim | slayerbob: no excuse for not playing nicely w/ other peripherals :) |
23:45.04 | marcusU | Tronic: Meaning that with ALSA, I have to crank master and pcm volume up to near 100%, which then produces noise from the speakers when I'm not playing anything. |
23:45.09 | slayerbob | MrGrim: well as i said, it did play nicely if you had a decent motherboard :) |
23:45.19 | Tronic | slayerbob: Did everything? Yeah, it resampled to 48 kHz with horrible quality. And also hardware-mixed multiple sounds together in hardware. Woohoo. |
23:45.22 | marcusU | Tronic: With OSS/non-Free, I can just set the volumes to 50%, and it sounds great. |
23:45.43 | MrGrim | no not a decent motherboard... just a motherboard that had a pci bus that was loosely designed so it didn't conflict w/ the sblive's improper use of it |
23:46.40 | MrGrim | Tronic: well it did a little more... I've written a few assembler programs for the emu10k1 dsp :) |
23:46.42 | Tronic | slayerbob: There really isn't much use for Creative-style hardware audio acceleration. Granted, a very powerful FIR engine could be useful, but other than that I don't really see much use for hardware acceleration of sound. |
23:46.45 | MrGrim | it's not capable o fmuch |
23:46.54 | MrGrim | but it does a little more than resample poorly and do hardware mixing |
23:47.03 | marcusU | Okay. Gotta go. Bye |
23:47.18 | MrGrim | Tronic: the point of hardware accelerated sound is in environmental sound |
23:47.18 | slayerbob | Tronic: you have obviously never played bf1942 on the machines of the time :P |
23:47.21 | Tronic | The CPU can very easily mix signals together and realtime resampling is seldom required. |
23:47.30 | MrGrim | not just mixing |

23:51.42 | MrGrim | and it's a royal shame creative buried that approach |
23:51.56 | MrGrim | but, unfortunately there's little we can do about it |
23:52.42 | MrGrim | Tronic: another computationaly expensive task that is nice to offload is positional audio with a two speaker system |
23:53.02 | MrGrim | especially if you have a system capable of positioning sounds above and below the listener |
23:53.04 | Tronic | MrGrim: Most environmental effects of the signals could be pre-calculated easily. |
23:53.31 | MrGrim | Tronic: the size of those precalculations rises exponentially with the complexity of the environment |
23:53.41 | MrGrim | as you have to account for every possible starting and ending point of a sound |
23:54.00 | Tronic | MrGrim: Specific sounds only tend to occur in specific environments. |
