Re: hdsploader on pcc

Hi peter, I read: this is a bit complicated, due to big/little endian issues, perhaps. I am trying to load the firmware into my hdsp pcmcia card. what kernel version are you using ? I think there was an endianness bug in alsa some time ago, but it should have been at least fixed in the sources

I read: problems after upgrading my RAM to 768 from 256MB. I used a module . . Probably the ram you bought is faulty. Since I don't know of anything like http://www.memtest86.com/ for ppc you probably should put the module in a x86 box and run memtest to see for yourself. regards, x --

fltk, opengl and dri

hi, I have problems running fltk code that uses opengl (opengl hw rendering works fine otherwise) so my question (probably to michel) is this a known issue with mesa and the dri trunk ? Are there any packages I'm missing to get fltk/opengl to work ? should I just build fltk from source ? thanks,
