Re: Building a Computer
For TV/Movies, you cannot beat the tv output quality from a matrox card, although their output support is s-video/composite. I would like to have this clarified: You mean obviously with TV-output here analog tube-TV? Rather than today's flat panels which have HDMI and which get 100% perfect output from nVidia? We have nVidia in our home theater PC (which is running Ubuntu) and it is connected with HDMI to the HD-video projector. Another video source is Playstation 3, which surprise surprise, outputs its picture digitally through HDMI. The picture is perfect obviously because it is digital and every pixel gets displayed as it should (from both the computer and PS3). Is someone still using displays without HDMI these days? If I go to a shop and look around TV-models, I can hardly find any model which would not have HDMI. So at least in my vocabuary at least, TV output = DVI = HDMI. And Matrox has no use for this purpose. Who wants to use component video these days. It hurts my eyes if I look picture from my old DVD-player with component video.

Re: Studio install woes...
I was going to say the same thing with respect to the network device as well - most certainly a module issue between the kernels. Check the difference between the loaded kernels in the generic and the rt. As for the Tascam, can't speak directly to that - I don't own one... I still have yet to try to get the M-Audio Firewire 410 working (haven't tried yet - that may be a Christmas project)... Here's a great site for help with wireless modules: http://linuxwireless.org/ Hope that helps...

Re: Building a Computer
Is someone still using displays without HDMI these days? If I go to a shop and look around TV-models, I can hardly find any model which would not have HDMI. So at least in my vocabuary at least, TV output = DVI = HDMI. On what world do you live? I would suggest to look at what people actually own and still use, not what we will someday buy when out current set-up breaks down.

Perhaps try installing the linux-rt package, and the correct drivers for your graphics card I believe it's an NVIDIA chipset. I think I checked when I was booted in rt and it said it was using the NVIDIA drivers. (I didn't load these so I guessed they came with the machine and the generic kernel. There are two different nVidia drivers. There is the open source 2d only nv driver, and the 3d binary driver called nvidia. The closed binary only driver has a kernel module that needs to be loaded, you can check to see if it is loaded with this command: lsmod |grep nvidia If you get nothing back then the module is not loaded. Generally you have to do something to get the proprietary driver installed, and you have to install it into every kernel that you have. This is the problem inherent with binary only drivers, and is now the reason that I now only use Intel (their drivers are open source and included with the default kernel, which means that you don't have to do anything to get them to work, this is true of their video, wifi, and lan drivers too). Active Accounts said: I was going to say the same thing with respect to the network device as well - most certainly a module issue between the kernels. Check the difference between the loaded kernels in the generic and the rt. I didn't check the network drivers, ran out of time. I'm not sure how to check the differences between the loaded kernels...where does the stuff that's loaded around the kernel get defined? I'd have guessed they'd both use the same file to define the drivers, screen res, and such. But each kernel has its own copy of the drivers. lsmod is the utility to tell you what modules are loaded. Drivers can be built as modules that can be loaded and unloaded, or built directly into the kernel. Modules are what most distros use. I am assuming that you are using the Ubuntu Studio RT kernel and not something you downloaded from somewhere else? Philipp said: Do you use binary drivers for video with the generic kernel? You might need to install them for the rt-kernel as well. But beware, they might cause problems. This is very true. Often the nVidia and ATI binary drivers don't play well with RT kernels. See above, how do I tell? What file defines this...sheesh, I guess I'm gonna have Maybe you did not install the restricted modules? aptitude search linux |grep -w ^i Should list the kernel related packages that are installed. to dig up more of my unix past life than I was hoping... As opposed to...? Personally I enjoy leaving batch/wsh behind. There is more than one model of the tascam, the older one should work, the newer one (122L ? not sure..) doesn't. This is a older model.
