Re: chromium-browser from experimental has included h.264 by default?

Why? Debian ships decoders for H264, so it should work out of the box, without third party repositories. From the ffmpeg README.Debian: Currently the following video encoders are disabled in the ffmpeg package: H263, H264, MPEG2 video, MPEG4 and MS-MPEG4. No *decoders* are disabled in any the ffmpeg package!

Once i686-bigmem packages for 2.6.31 get autobuilt (KMS wasn't compatable with PAE prior to this release), I'll follow up to 521596 if config changes seem to be necessary after all. As I mentioned on the intel-gfx list. For KMS on Intel you'll need to boot with video=i915:modeset=1 Also, make sure you're using 0.93.4 or later of initramfs-tools.

Re: HD TV as Monitor

It has a connector for a computer monitor input, and I have been trying to get a computer hooked up to use it as a monitor with little luck. If the machine runs Windows it will use the monitor correctly as a display. If I run Damn Small it will display, but the bottom portion of the screen is below the bottom of the TV screen. Ubuntu, Knoppix, and Debian all produce Mode Not Supported messages on the TV but produce no display. If I try to use the Debian Install disk to create a new system, the boot up stuff displays fine, but when it gets to the first installation screen the text is diagonally ripped and unreadable. On one of my laptops, even in windows there is no display. (I assume that the graphics card in that machine doesn't support the screen modes necessary. On the machine where windows works, I assume the graphics card is capable, and I only need a functional MODE line in the config file. At work we use wide screen TVs as monitors in meetings where groups need to view the screen, but then we only have Windows machines there... Does anyone have any idea what the mode line should look like for these devices? Hi, You will probably need to manually specify a mode line, something like this: http://marc.info/?l=freedesktop-xorgm=123126270614013w=2 (This question is probably more appropriate on debian-user or the xorg mailing list) -- Cheers, Sven Arvidsson http://www.whiz.se PGP Key ID 760BDD22 signature.asc Description: This is a digitally signed message part
