Re: [newbie] Can anyone recommend a good media player?
I'm running 9.0 Both my MPG videos and DivX's play in Xine, but sound only, the video window is just a blue box. I was just looking at the X Movie Player (http://xmps.sourceforge.net/) anyone tried it, is it any good?

[newbie] SB Live + Digital Speakers = No volume control!
Hi I wonder if anyone can help me, I'm using a SoundBlaster Live Value card and some Boston Acoustics Digital 5.1 speakers, the speakers plug straight into the normal line out socket on the soundcard, and (in windows xp) I have to tell it to output digital audio only, otherwise I get no sound. Anyway, Mandrake seems to work okay with my setup, in that I have sound, (which I didn't have in Red Hat 7.3 8) but my volume control doesn't work, sound comes out so loud that I've not really bothered to listen to anything now, even with my speaker volume as low as it can go, sound from MP3's, event sounds etc... are all really loud. Does anyone know of a way to fix this? I believe it's using the ALSA sound stuff, but that's all I know (I'm new to Linux btw!)

Thanks Teddy, I'll give that a go later (in XP at the mo, not brave enough to switch all the way to Linux just yet!) - Original Message - From: teddy wl [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Saturday, October 05, 2002 1:17 PM Subject: Re: [newbie] Can anyone recommend a good media player? if you want compile mplayer on MDK 8.2, because the mandrake use gcc 2.96, its not compatible with mplayer. U should use the gcc 2.95 or 3.x or later. but I still use mandrake 8.2 in my home too, and I use Mplayer 0.9pre6. its work properly. you can installed Mplayer on your linux box. this the way ./configure --disable-gcc-checking --enable-gui on my computer its work properly. try this way Sorry my english. i hope you understand :) Teddy --- Roger Sherman [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: On Sat, 5 Oct 2002, Rob Black wrote: Hi I've got a few MPG, AVI (VFW DivX) files from my windows drive that I'd like to be able to play in Linux, but I can't seem to find anything that will play them, the built in player (Xine is it?) won't play my files.

[newbie] Trying to get GNOME panel to look more like KDE
Hi I've been a Linux user for all of 5 days now, during which time I've installed and deleted Red Hat 7.3, Mandrake 8.2, Red Hat 8.0 and Mandrake 9.0 !! Mandrake 9 is my fave so far, since it's the only one that my soundcard worked in (SB Live with digital speakers) Anyway, my problem is this: I've been using KDE everytime I've used Linux, but after looking at GNOME, it seems faster, plus it has Ximian Evolution, which I rather like (blows Outlook XP away completely) But in Mandrake 9, GNOME looks weird, there's a blank (ish) panel at the bottom of the screen, and another Mac-stylee panel at the top, how to I get all this stuff to the bottom of the screen (like in Red Hat / Mandrake 8.2) ? I really want to sort this out, since I'm so impressed with Linux I can't tell you. For instance, I'm an ASP developer by trade, and am used to Windows NT/2K, IIS, SQL Server etc... But to build a new Windows server from nothing, getting the database server up and running, and installing, for instance, an ASP based web forum, would take at least a day, yet I installed Linux, set-up apache mySQL, created a virtual host, and installed phpBB2 in about an hour! (I'm extra impressed with phpBB, it took like 5 minutes to get going!) Enough of my rambling, but Linux is pretty damn cool :-) Rob. Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft?
