I installed the Pinnacle Studio DV tonight and applied the kernel patch and rebuilt. Kernel built no problem, rebooted, loaded the three modules and got no complaints. I take it this means that Linux liked it? I don't have any software yet, so I didn't even plug in the camera. It would be nice on the site to actually have a list of cards known to work. Or did I miss it? Honestly, I am not sure if I will stay with this. As far as Linux has come along (I started when 1.2.13 was current), X still has a LONG way to go. I have some really annoying problems that honestly I don't have the time to figure out anymore. Find this how-to, that faq, consult this newsgroup and that mailing list since it's not in the how-to or faq, etc. Unless I can figure these things out, which I would love to since I miss running Linux at home, I might have to just end up installing Win2k over my NT partition since 2k supports 1394. Jamie Zawinski really has some valid points, though he is a bit disgruntled. :) Anyone have an extra SGI Workstation they want to get rid of? ;-) Also, that offer of free Solaris 8 x86 from Sun is sounding really tempting. Sorry for the rant, I just hate anti-climactic situations, which getting X running again has definitely been. -Ken -- ha...@he... AIM: ScopusFest |
