AGP radeon on G4 and XFree86?

2001-05-10 Thread pfile
Now that i got everyone riled up about audio CDs :-) I posted this question on the linuxppc-user, but all i heard was the sound of crickets. Does anyone here have XFree86 4.0.3 working with their AGP radeon card? I'm not having much luck. I can provide details if anyone has any experience with th

I encountered the same problem with xmms-cdread and my TiBook. i read thru the source of xmms-cdread and tried passing different endian flags to the audio routines, but that didnt seem to help. in the end i hacked xmms-cdread to swab() the data going to the audio device. the curious thing was th

I dont know if anyone ever followed up to some questions in late april about how to get audio cd support working on the TiBook. I've done it, here's what i had to do: I posted something like this over on the linuxppc-user list at linuxppc.org, but here is an update. 1) your kernel must be config

horrible system performance using ide-scsi for cdrom on tibook

2001-09-11 Thread rob pfile
I've posted on a similar topic before. the short story is that i could not make the dvd/cdrom drive in the tibook work for audio extraction unless i used the ide-scsi package. while that worked in the sense that cdparanoia could see the drive, system performance during cd ripping is terrible. the

Following up to myself (again) the rest of this story belongs in the "no duh" category. i found that cdparanoia was niced down to 19 on my desktop machine while on the laptop it was set to 0 (using grip, which allows you to set a nice value for the ripper and encoder). i think this may have been
