I just wanted to pick up the attitude of the other guy a little higher up the list. My problem is that even if I do a complete install fo the distribution ( did Conectiva and SuSE ) a lot of things just dont work. Conectiva put avifile in the /usr directory dlls not included. They go normally in /usr/lib/win32 - but not with Conectiva they have to be annexed to avifile. With SuSE they go in /usr/lib/win32. So basically it seems to me that the distribution should either provide a working program or if you only get half or it at least dont fuck around with the defaults. If I install Xine from a SuSE CD I cant run any videos at all. If I download Xine and install it things work fine. I really dont care because I use my machine for timewasting purposes but for a regular user that is used to Billies stuff things like this will be a major turnoff. My real problem is that I have a shitty motherboard (everything onboard) with SIS730 graphics. The monitor is a AOC 5Esomething. Works fine with 800x600 at 75Hz. Problem is that I cant get that right now. What I do get is 1024x768@62Hz or 75Hz depending what Setupprogram you believe (SuSE 7.3 Fine shows 62Hz Yast2 shows 75Hz). If I cange to 800x600 I can setup 85 / 75 or 60Hz. But unfortunately noting changes. The screen flickers worse than with 1024x768.
