Greetings - long story, but keep in mind, I was up until 3:30am reading the past 6 months of the list, and checking every web resource I could find, but I'm struggling and could really use a livesaver. I'm really close, and keep in mind, I've freed myself from everyday supplication to M$, and it's been a few years in the coming...
In hopes of activating Xv properly and getting xine to run smoothly (which very very nearly worked perfectly), I re-installed X (just like they say on xfree), but have since lost my window manager and session prefs, to a large degree, or at least the ability to start X *with* them, and or modify them *from* X. Everytime I run X, I get tossed into twm, but can run a panel and launch my window manager prefs and such (getting "clamping" errors all the while). Fighting this, I have reinstalled X once again, and the xine results are far worse than before, mpeg2 and avi/divx is now impossible to display without large losses, and or complete failure on the latter files. Running an AMDk6-2 450 w/384M and a Matrox 450 dual-head w 16M I was tweaking the dual head (and some minor frame losses in mpeg2 video) when I got further lost, I was able to get a dual display to work fairly well (bad aliasing on the 2nd display), but could *not* play video on the 2nd head to save my life. I notice that xvinfo reveals either no information about the 2nd screen, or states that it has no card driving it, although I can see that the memory on the card has been split between displays. Questions: 1. Are there any good examples/resources of session files and/or manual tweaks to get my startup (gnome or kde vs twm) fixed? Suggestions? 2. Is there anything specific I should look at when I reinstall X, in order to make it happier with xine? 3. Can the Matrox card even *display* video (mpeg, etc) on the 2nd head? _______________________________________________ Newbie mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] *** To unsubscribe , or change message options, see: http://XFree86.Org/mailman/listinfo/newbie
