Dunno about avi files.... What are the dll's for? Can't you use a native
linux program to play those files? I don't know about X's drivers on Sis
videocards. In my personal opinion Sis sucks and I'll never use of their
chips, but that's just my opinion. I can play some .avi files with Noatun
which came with my KDE 2.2.2, I do still have problems with DiVX .avi files,
but my collegea saw some linux DiVX codec or something..... I'll have to look
it up some time. The DiVX lib I found at noatun.kde.org doesn't seem to do
anything at all, but perhaps I'm not doing the install correct. Don't
remember precisely, but I didn't see anything in the file to link the lib to
noatun and I don't believe it does so on it's own..... Perhaps the codec is
just old and maybe it plays only old type of DiVX, a lot has changed in that
world. Personally I have no experience with Xine. Did you buy your SuSE
distribution? You're supposed to get 3 months of installation support :-) and
this appears as an installation problem to me.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 o nboard)
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.

If I buy a decent card they slap 100% importduty on it because some
poor politician needs another villa at the beach.
The xine I got running now will play about anything you throw at it
-except Quicktime.
The dlls are codecs from different sorces (Intel/Windows/divx). I think
About any movieplayer for linux uses them for playback - seems to
be some grey zone in the licensedepartment.
As far as Installationsupport is concerned - I am waiting for an answer
from SuSE for about 5 days now.Iguess thats why it comes with 3 month
support - they really need the time to get back to you. Stupid me - should
have downloaded the whole thing instead of paying for it.
