Sort'a, but no ;) I didn't have problems installing qt4linux,
but it wouldn't play my .mov's ... errors out. mplayer gets a lot
closer, running the .mov, no errors, but the screen is solid black, no
sound at all. I can use codeweavers wine to run Windoze'
QuickTimePlayer.exe The picture quality is equal to, maybe slightly
better* than Winblows, but the sound is garbled.
*probly a driver difference, I use the open source 'nv' driver with
Linux, the Det4 27.20's under Windoze98 for a GeF2 DDR400
http://www.mplayerhq.hu/homepage/ (mplayer) say's it supports QT
since 0.60, but then also says "Codecs: any codecs allowed, both CBR
and VBR. Note: most new mov files use Sorenson video and QDesign Music
audio. These formats are completely secret, and only Apple's quicktime
player is able to play these files (on win/mac only)."
PS, I even tried copying some of QT's (completely secret;) .dll's
into my Linux codecs dir, /usr/lib/win32/ Didn't help ;(

Both together .... with some minor problems. Running some apps
under 3.0 will change their config for 2.2.x. I didn't bother with 3.0
very long. Switching back to 2.2.2, it didn't take long to put the
mis-configured apps back to normal (eg, kmail). 3.0b1's far from ready
yet, and I didn't like some of the new graphics. YMMV ;)
If you do upgrade to 2.2.2, I suggest usin Texstar's rpms.
http://www.pclinuxonline.com I used these with 8.1. I'm now usin
Mandrake's that come with 8.2 (on 8.2b1).
