Hi Daniel > Hi, as they say in the other list the new chip is CONEXAN Fusion 878A, > you can take a look at this to check. > > If you have a 848 or 878 you are lucky because they are the good (and > the old) ones, so you have something misconfigured. I already wrote in my first posting, that on my card there ist the "Connexant Fusion 878A" chip. So that means, that the chip is currently unsupported, doesn't it? Thanks & Greets Sam

Hi Daniel > in the spanish suse-list someone had the same problem Thanks for your answer. I'll check the spanish newsgroup... > Your card is quite new, isn't it?

DRI isn't supported, TV in isn't supported, nothing seems to be with the exception of the base card itself. If you plan on doing TV stuff go to mythtv.sourceforge.net (or maybe myth.sourceforge.net) and check that out. Some where in the list of things you'll get turned on to another TV in/out project, freevo I think, and they have a good hardware database to use. But in short mostly any card with a brooktree interface (bt) will work also somem, if not most, of the Hauppage cards will work. I say most because you don't want to use the USB stuff, from what I can tell. I'm thinking of chucking my ATI all in blunder card for nVidia and a Hauppauge PVR 250 and using MythTV. HTH

TV-card
by Rene Luijckx 01 Jan '04

01 Jan '04

Hi everybody, I'm using KWinTV in combination with a Pinnacle-Rave TV-card. The following problems occur: - after running the scan wizard I still have only 1 channel, - that channel is random, - I cannot find a menu-entry to choose my camera (composite or S-video input). Is this the right program for this card ? Greetings and best wishes for 2004. Rene.

IDE Cable & Audio CD
by Mike Béla 08 Dec '03

08 Dec '03

HI! I can listen audio CD-s under (SuSE) Linux only if the CD-ROM driver is connected with my soundcard by an (analogue) audio cable. Is it possible to listen audio CD-s without the connection just mentioned, only with the aid of IDE cable connection??? (This method was practicable under Window$ XP.) Best regards, Béla

My problem fixed :) I just downloaded the update AMD Athlon kernel from SuSE YOU and everything works fine. Marc try to do the same if you have the AMD Athlon kernel. A big thanks to the SuSE people for updating the kernel :)

VIA 82xx Sound chipset and SuSE 9.0
by Filippos Papadopoulos 27 Nov '03

27 Nov '03

Hi to all. I have a QDI motherboard with VIA chipset. I have a terrible problem with SuSE 9.0 Pro. Although it recognizes my sound chipset as VIA 82xx AC97 codec, it doesnt play any sound ! Not in KDE, not in the CLI, not even with mpg123... I also get some strange kernel messages about ALSA, in the logs. The funny stuff is that i had to change my kernel to the one shipped with SuSE 8.2 and it happily plays sound. Does anyone has the same problem ? Thanks.

Update on Helix Player
by Rob Lanphier 25 Nov '03

25 Nov '03

Hi everyone, A couple months ago, I sent out mail helping a couple folks out with getting RealPlayer 8 for Linux. Now, I want to tell people "don't use that, we have something new and shiny!" Here's an update on the Helix Player initiative from RealNetworks. We're working on an open source, multi-format player (w/a couple of proprietary components, notably for RealAudio and RealVideo playback). We posted our first milestone release last month, and we've started posting nightly builds. Details for downloading this are here: https://player.helixcommunity.org/ The good: * Video playback is vastly improved over RealPlayer 8 and the RealOne Player Alpha that's currently available on * Includes Ogg Vorbis support * Includes SMIL 2.0, along with JPEG, GIF, PNG, and RealPix. This allows for some really impressive presentation capabilities (transitions, alphablending, etc). To show off what can be done using only the open source components of this player (e.g. no RealAudio and RealVideo), I put together the following presentation, which can be played with the Helix Player: Playback: http://rtsp.org/2003/demos/oggsmil/oggdemo.smil Download: http://rtsp.org/2003/demos/oggsmil.tar.gz What this doesn't show off is the ability to do transitions between video presentations or alphablend a translucent logo on top of a video, but you can at least start to see why it's cool. The bad: * The installation of this player isn't perfectly streamlined, but not rocket science. * Not all formats are supported yet. RealText and RealFlash are notable omissions that are on the plan. Windows Media is not on the plan. * Some hangups with SMIL...for example, we've got some bugs with path handling that keep us from showing off the battery of content we've developed to really show off SMIL * It's still pre-release quality. There's lots of quirks, but those are fewer by the day. All said, we're pretty proud of how it's shaping up. However, development, testing, and documentation are all in short supply, so we can really use your help. We really want to work with the community to make Linux a great multimedia desktop system.
