Just one kind of thought. If Linux doesn't work easily with ATI video cards, and if WMA this or that won't play properly, or at all, on Linux, then we should ask: Whose fault is that? Is it the fault of the Linux developers? Or is it the fault of the manufacturers? The answer is pretty dang obvious, if you know the facts.
NVidia cards work great under Linux, because (a) they provide high-quality drivers for their cards and (b) they support open source development of drivers for their cards. As for WMA files, (a) Linux don't do no DRM, and it shouldn't, and (b) if Microsoft released a specification of the format for non-DRMd WMA files, then they'd play within a week or so. So if anyone wants to complain about these issues, now they know to whom they should complain. -- rgheck ------------------------------------------------------------------------ rgheck's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=25803 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=60817 _______________________________________________ unix mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/unix
