Not usually, but people have packaged X'4 for stable too. I installed it on a tsw machine recently and it worked happily, although two packages had dodgy dependencies against X'3 and had to be recompiled. -- MJR

Xdefaults

A while ago we where discussing X and .Xdefaults and I discovered that some people might want some of my settings for X If you type use KDE it can be anoying the way you X applications look and feel is modified by apply changes to all X windows deleting some of your changes to the ~/.Xdefaults file. (I now use ice which is well customised now maybe I should post my theme some time to themes.org or even here) at the end of the ~/.Xdefaults file on my account you will see the line <Quote> #include "etc/X/Xresorces/Main" </Quote> This prevents programs overwriting my Xdefault which I set So fav I have only set up a couple of programs The links to a file called Main which further links to setups for 4 applications and looks like <Quote> #include "XTerm" #include "Nedit" #include "Netscape" #include "Ddd" </Quote> The files XTerm Nedit Netscape and Ddd have appended I hope this will improve the look of your X enviroment, The support for wheel mouse in Xterms and Nedit is now an essential for me.

It's fairly easy if you read from debianplanet.org and are prepared to recompile a few packages. Or if you mean "unstable" by "latest", yes, it probably has X4. Yes, Xine is a good player. -- MJR

Retail theropy - AC3, DVD and linux
by David Freeman 07 Jul '01

List, I feel the need for some new hardware. I was thinking for some time of getting a new graphics card, the Geforce 2 MX powered ASUS cards look nice. But I also decided I would get a DVD drive. This leaves me with some questions. 1) Is it worth getting TV out on a graphics card? for a desktop machine? 2) How well is the geforce 2 MX supported on Linux? 3) Are DVD rom drives fixed as a single region? if so how do I unfix it? 4) Do DVD rom drives have a S/PDIF output on the drive? 5) Can any one recommend a cheap sound card which will give me 6 channel sound output from the DVD drive and allow me to output it to my surround amp? 6) What dvd decoding software would people recommend? I think that was all. Thanks D PS did rabbit go down today Mark? PPS Owen, did I send my last email to you or the list? ===== -------------------- "We all know Linux is great... it does infinite loops in 5 seconds."

You need the pcsp patches. They have to be tidied a bit to work with 2.2.19 last I checked, but it can be done. If I was clever, I'd compile a new version of the patch myself. -- MJR
