No kidding. What a wonderful little tool. Especially the a-i option. > Athlon64 3800+ X2 : Finally [EMAIL PROTECTED] at an affordable price. > > Couple of things which are of small annoyance: > 1.

I know the libata developers are working on adding support for sending low level commands to sata disks for things like smart monitoring and spin down and such. I am fairly sure it isn't supported yet. > 3. Sound cannot be captured directly from the PCTV Pro using btaudio - > because of "bad wiring"? Ehm, input muted on sound card maybe? No idea. > 4.

Well if the headset follows usb sound standards for the audio part, it will work fine. Any buttons on it are likely proprietary and would need a driver written to handle them. That probably isn't a standard part of the usb audio specification. > 5. My Plextor DVD-burner hickups sometimes usning mkisofs/growisofs - reports > busy device or something like that. Do you have the latest firmware on the drive? My plextors work great, although I did have a hickup early on with one of them when using older firmware. A firmware update fixed that. Fortunately that can be done from linux. > A couple of questions: > 1. I'm thinking of buying a SATA controller to put in one of the PCI Express > X1 slots. Chipset is SiL3132. Is the support OK in recent kernels? It is not supported in 2.6.8 or 2.6.12. It has experimental support in the libata patch for 2.6.13-rc7 though. Not sure if it is included in any released kernel yet. > 2. I'm thinking of changing the PCTV Pro to a Hauppauge! WinTV PVR500 MCE. > Anyone know if the support in ivtv is OK for this card? Well so far I have heard great things for the 250 and 350 in ivtv. If the 500 really is just 2 x 250 on one card, I would imagine ivtv should work with it to, but I have not heard from anyone with a 500 card yet so I don't know.
