Suse7.1, Nvidia Drivers freeze on KDE logout
by Jasmine Davis 13 Feb '02

13 Feb '02

Hi all, I have recently updated my video drivers to the NVidia Release including the GLX. On system boot-up, the XServer starts & KDE works without error. Then when I logout of KDE, the XServer restarts, I get the NVidia screen & then the window freezes. Once that happens the system video is frozen & no virtual consoles are available. The only way to get in to restart is through SSH. The XServer log shows no errors but stops at this point: (==) NVIDIA(0): Write-combining range (0xe6000000,0x1000000) (II) NVIDIA(0): AGP 2X successfully initialized The XServer is 4.0.2 NVidia Drivers : NVIDIA_GLX-1.0-2313.suse71.i386.rpm NVIDIA_kernel-1.0-2313.suse71.i386.rpm KDE Version 2.2.2 The XServer config file was generated from scratch using Sax2. If anyone can help, I thank you in advance.

12 Feb '02

Hello, Just one question. Aviplay is not provided with SuSE7.3PPC (well with PC version). Is it a way to watch .avi divx compressed files with SuSE7.3PPC (aviplay, xine, ...?) Thank you -- Alain Barthélemy

mplayer ????
by Alain Barthélemy 09 Feb '02

09 Feb '02

Hi, Well, I finally installed mplayer because everybody told me it was a lot, a lot, a lot better than Aviplay. The installation (version 0.60) went all right (on SuSE 7.2 Intel Pentium III 640Mhz). I make a test /cdrom/my_file.avi and ... 1) the playing of the movie is always interrupted (sound and image) 2) impossible to increase the image size Follows all the "bla-bla". With Aviplay I have a better quality (zoom 2x and fluid sound and image) Thus what's wrong?

Hello Just a question! Can anybody explain to me why I cant play .avi+.divx videos when I install xine from the suse cd? When I use downloaded rpms (other source) and install xine with those it plays anything you throw at it. What exactly would be the reason I payed for 7cds if I have to download the program from a third source to get it to work?

Well business as usual. Everything is great! I did update the system with a 170MB download. I still think that I probably got another system than everybody is bragging about. By default my suse tries to open .avi files with aktion. Unfortunately there is no aktion installed. If you do a lot of reading thru manuals you find out that you are supposed to copy the dlls for aktion from your windowssystem. Now what do you do if you dont have windows plus what dlls would that be? Dont get me wrong - suse is a good value and a nice system. But if you want to beat out Billy you gonna have to do better than this. Looks to me like Linux is still in the stages where you better know how to write your own software. Unfortunately I dont know how to do that. I cant even get the font for email changed anymore.

Hi Gerry, Try my web site devoted to Linux multimedia, http://linuxplay.freeyellow.com you will find info / link on the audio page. BTW, for those looking for the Linux equivilant to Cubase, I have managed to find a package called "Brahms", the package is featured on the home page of my site. Best regards to all, Gary

how to see image on aviplay
by bartydeux 01 Feb '02

01 Feb '02

Hello, I had many computer problem and I lost a hard disk on my laptop where I could see divx (.avi) compressed file with aviplay. Now I installed a new hard disk + SuSE 7.2 + what I think are the aviplay packages. I type the instruction aviplay => I open the .avi file => the GUI appears => i hear the sound but no image This is the messages that appear: apparently there is a missing dll in /usr/lib/win32 Stupid question (I forget what I did last month): where do I get the divx codec to download and to install in /usr/lib/win32? (a .zip file I suppose?) It is for aviplay. alain@portable:~ > aviplay Available CPU flags: fpu vme de pse tsc msr pae mce cx8 sep mtrr pge mca cmov pat pse36 mmx fxsr xmm 648.024 MHz Pentium III (Coppermine) processor detected Initializing registry Initializing cache Cache: Adding stream 0, table 4112F008 ( 182497 entries ) Cache: Adding stream 1, table 80DB158 ( 18250 entries ) Cache: Creating cache for file descriptor 8 Successfully initialized stream 0 Chunk table size 182497, format size 40 Successfully initialized stream 1 Chunk table size 116530233, format size 30 Successfully opened /media/cdrom/mylene_farmer.avi. 1 video streams, 1 audio streams Length 182497 File /media/cdrom/mylene_farmer.avi successfully opened 2 streams Audio in MPEG Layer-3 format src [wFormatTag=85, nChannels=2, nSamplesPerSec=44100, nAvgBytesPerSec=15963, nBlockAlign=1, wBitsPerSample=16, cbSize=12] dst [wFormatTag=1, nChannels=2, nSamplesPerSec=44100, nAvgBytesPerSec=176400, nBlockAlign=4, wBitsPerSample=16, cbSize=0] AviReadStreamA::SeekToTime DirectShow_VideoDecoder: FATAL: Could not open DLL Win32 loader: FATAL: Could not load library VideoDecoder: FATAL: Unknown codec 33564944 = 'DIV3'!
