| 16:07:15 | sorphin | I never claimed to be respectable tho |
| 16:29:17 | scanline | thinks sorphin bugging prpplague about ibmpos and kergoth about digi is some constant of the universe |

| 16:50:06 | sjhill | prpplague: nah, uClibc and uClinux stuff |
| 16:50:13 | sjhill | prpplague: why, you need MIPS glibc stuff? |
| 16:51:48 | prpplague | sjhill: naw, i just heard there was glibc exploit |
| 16:53:43 | sjhill | didn't know about that..course i'm 3 days behind on my mailing list reading too |
| 17:09:59 | prpplague | sjhill: same here |
| 17:10:35 | prpplague | sjhill: while i was away on that install, eveyone changed tons of stuff on the projects i've been working on so i'm playing catchup |

| 18:39:57 | prpplague | ibot: seen CosmicPenguin |
| 20:58:40 | prpplague | any nano-x experts in here today? |
| 21:00:20 | sorphin | nope |
| 21:00:46 | MonMotha | hedh |
| 21:00:47 | MonMotha | he |
| 21:00:48 | MonMotha | h |
| 21:00:49 | MonMotha | grr |
| 21:19:44 | prpplague | what about just plain x11 experts? |
| 22:10:25 | MonMotha | anyone know any good docs on interfacing flash memory? :) |
| 22:13:00 | prpplague | on interfacing on the hardware side? |
| 22:23:17 | prpplague | wahooo, i actually converted a nano-x app to x11 |
| 22:27:48 | MonMotha | prpplague: yep |
| 22:28:46 | prpplague | MonMotha: the only docs i have are at the office |
| 22:28:52 | prpplague | MonMotha: i'm a newbie too |
| 22:29:09 | MonMotha | prpplague: heh, not as new to it as I am I assure you |
| 22:29:16 | MonMotha | and I don't mean the really dense flash like the tux has |
| 22:29:21 | MonMotha | I'm just talking little 1Mbit jobbies |
| 22:30:52 | prpplague | MonMotha: ya well, i'm a hardware idiot, i know all the theory, but i haven't got any practical experience |
| 22:33:11 | MonMotha | hey, you've got a one up on me |
| 22:33:16 | MonMotha | I know virtually none of the theory :) |
| 23:26:40 | prpplague | Morn: sure was thinking about ordering the gap series on audio tape |
| 23:26:52 | Morn | cool |
| 23:26:58 | prpplague | Morn: i really would like to listen to that on the way to work |
| 23:26:58 | Morn | It's a good series |
| 23:27:04 | prpplague | Morn: agreed |
| 23:27:09 | Morn | if you do make a mp3 copy for me :-) |
| 23:27:14 | prpplague | Morn: its not your typical scifi |
| 23:27:17 | prpplague | Morn: deal |
| 23:28:23 | prpplague | Morn: you know i still identify with angus, even though his morals were weak, i sure find his passion for his ship admirable |
| 23:28:56 | Morn | I can see that |
| 23:29:49 | prpplague | Morn: don't suppose you were ever in the military? |
| 23:34:34 | Morn | I was, the navy |
| 23:34:37 | Morn | Electronics Tech |
| 23:35:18 | prpplague | Morn: ahh well, i was army, i can relate to when angus was imprisioned, it was almost like boot camp |
| 23:42:43 | Morn | arg! |
| 23:43:01 | prpplague | Morn: re |
| 23:43:24 | Morn | if I enable dma support on my dvd writer (connected via a ata/133 card) it locks up linux |
| 23:43:37 | file | then don't |
| 23:43:43 | file | if it hurts Linux, don't do it |
| 23:43:54 | Morn | if I don't it's impoosble to watch a dvd |
| 23:43:58 | Morn | all kinds of stuttering |
| 23:44:03 | file | fix it then |
| 23:44:23 | file | :) |
| 23:44:34 | prpplague | Morn: it only occurs when you enable it? |
| 23:44:53 | Morn | right |
| 23:44:58 | Morn | right now it's in pio mode |
| 23:45:10 | Morn | both devices on the ata/133 card are in pio |
| 23:45:16 | prpplague | Morn: hmm, same bus? |
| 23:45:31 | Morn | one hard drive, one DVD writer |
| 23:45:39 | Morn | I have an pci add on ata/133 |
| 23:45:46 | prpplague | Morn: ahh |
| 23:45:50 | Morn | the onboard ide drives are in dma mode |
| 23:46:00 | Morn | but neither of the ones on the pci board are |
| 23:47:13 | Morn | it seems there is support in 2.5.40 for my card specifically |
| 23:47:23 | Morn | but damned if I can get a decent kernel compile out of that tree |
| 23:49:41 | Morn | pio_mode write-only 0 255 w |
| 23:51:52 | Morn | hmmm cat /proc/ide/cdm64x shows no drives |
