Hi, kgi4bsd is now finally working for me. I=B4ve re-installed the sources and patched them again (I=B4ve copied them all in /usr/src and applied every patch with 'patch -p2 <*.diffs', not as described in the 'NOTES' file with 'patc= h -p5') Thanks for your help an patience. |

Although kgi seems not to be = very happy about my hw,it seems not to be able to handle mode switching/listing= with my gfx card. >which mode? Well, that=B4s tricky.

GGI and GII compile fine (and /usr/local/lib/ggi/display/kgi.so is present= ). I tried to play a simple .MPG file and it looks like mplayer (freshly comp= iled MPlayer 1.0pre5) could play it (using the GGI backend), but fails why GGI is unable to find= a supported video mode. In the hope, that it=B4s interesting for you, I=B4ve attached the mplayer = commandline output, dmesg and my /var/log/messages file. :-) |
