What 'unimplemented' means exactly is a question for others as I lack any more knowledge. However, I suspect . . . Are there other RAGE MOBILITY cards in the 1gen clamshell iBook? If so, why can't I find any info on earlier incarnations anywhere? That Apple doesn't support this decoding feature with the X DVD player is clear, but does the OS actually prevent other apps from using it? Can it perhaps be turned on somewhere? Does there have to be a VDplayer in the machine in order for the hardware (graphics card) MPEG-2 decoding to become activated? that it's a hardware thing and so cannot be turned on by any software. The gen 2 clamshells have the ATI RAGE Mobility 128, same as Pismo, and so _should_ support ADP under X. Anyone care to confirm this hypothesis? I can do that, but only with S-VCD as there is no dvdplayer. Or I could use an image perhaps. So I'm not clear on your answer to the big question: Under X, does ADP launch and play something/anything in a gen 2 (FW) clamshell? You mean you did try X + ADP and it successfully launched? Or you haven't yet but are willing to try it? If it did launch OK, even without a DVD-ROM installed, then any standard DVD ought to play if you install a DVD drive. ADP checks only for playback support AFAIK, and not for the presence of a DVD drive(?). K, hold on, I'll test this last question myself: grabs Lombard (333 under OS9 w/DVD PCcard), pulls DVD EBM, inserts CD EBM . . . OS9's ADP launched fine in absence of DVD-ROM drive. For completeness, I suppose I should do the same with a Pismo under X . . . sigh grabs Pismo 400, pulls DVD EBM, inserts CD EBM . . . Yep, X's ADP launched fine in absence of DVD-ROM drive.

Re: ibook SE
Larry, The third generation iBooks were Indigo for 366mhz and Graphite for the 466mhz SE. But the Key lime was available in both speeds, 366 and 466SE. This info was on the little fold-up brochures provided by Apple (I have one somewhere, but can't find it) and is also reviewed in the December 2000 MacAddict (p. 16, where it says Key Lime glows in the dark under a black light!) I think the second generation also had an SE, the 366mhz in Graphite. IIRC, the standard iBook was 300mhz in Blueberry and Tangerine (in both first and second generation).

iBook SE battery stops charging
A puzzle: iBook SE (Graphite clamshell) battery is relatively new (less than six months) and as recently as last week was holding a charge for at least an hour. Suddenly -- last day or so -- it doesn't take any charge at all. New AC adapter, too, and the charge light (where the AC plugs into the iBook) is constantly green. But the battery remains at 0% and the computer goes dead the instant we unplug the AC. iBook FW Battery Update software (booted in System 9, even though we normally use OS X) tells me that it is not required for this computer. Suggestions? Thanks and best wishes, Charlie Meyerson -- G-Books is sponsored by http://lowendmac.com/ and...

Re: iBook SE battery stops charging
Have you tried resetting the power manager? Sometimes this works. Unplug the AC adapter, pull the battery, and depress the reset button at the hinge on the right side. Gary Charlie Meyerson wrote: A puzzle: iBook SE (Graphite clamshell) battery is relatively new (less than six months) and as recently as last week was holding a charge for at least an hour. Suddenly -- last day or so -- it doesn't take any charge at all. New AC adapter, too, and the charge light (where the AC plugs into the iBook) is constantly green.

Re: Poor Quality Video Out on iBook SE (2nd Ed)
Ian - I feel your pain. Twice in large family gatherings I tried to hook up my PB to do a slide show on TV and got only a scrolling display. Turned out to be set to a European PAL (50hz) format instead of the local NTSC (60 hz). Figured it out, but not in time for the two shows, or to avoid Mac jokes. TV sets are not 640x480, they are approximately 512x392 (I'm not sure about that last number). When I choose that format off my menu for DVD playing on the TV, it looks fine. Using a direct S-video cable into your TV (if you have the input) will be a marginal improvement, but mostly unnoticeable. I always use the S-video to RCA adapter with no ill effects. I can't comment on the games, because most of mine default to 640x480 on the primary monitor and won't let me choose to show them on a TV. Crappy video on a projector is most often because someone uses the S-video hookup instead of the monitor video cable. If you still get bad results with the monitor video cable, do a side-by-side with someone else's laptop (PC and/or Mac, same cables, same program, same image, etc.) and report the results. I missed your original post, but would be glad to try to help if you can offer more info. - Jeff Lentz --- Ian Jones [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: I gotta say that I have had this iBook for a couple of years and I noticed the poor Video Out quality when I first connected it to my TV to play Myst: Exile.

Poor Quality Video Out on iBook SE (2nd Ed)
My iBook screen is perfectly clear, but has ALWAYS (since purchase) translated to a fuzzy, barely readable image through the AV Out onto a TV screen or through a digital projector. However, a DVD plays quite clearly through AV Out, so I guess the cable is OK. Happens under OS 9.2 as well as OS X. Anyone know what the problem is here? It is weird to have the blurry DVD Player controls on the TV or projection screen when the movie itself is quite clear. Ian -- G-Books is sponsored by http://lowendmac.com/ and...

Re: Poor Quality Video Out on iBook SE (2nd Ed)
It could also be that your iBook is sending a signal more than the TV can handle. If the iBook is set to 800x600 the TV is made for 640x480. So try setting the iBook to 640x480. -Thomas Nigel wrote: It's because the resolution on TV's are so shitty.

Are you using the S-video connection or the monitor connection? If you are using the S-video, would it not be sending a lower quality image than the digital image to the monitor? I haven't had any experience yet with these things, but I would use the monitor connection if I could. -- -Jon Glass Krakow, Poland mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Remember, democracy never lasts long.
