configure xorg on widescreen tv
shanenin replied to shanenin's topic in Linux & Unix Tips and Tricks
I wimped out. I spent till about three in the morning trying different xorg configs. Nothing was seeming to work. I was reading about a lot of people who got their tvs to work(with a lot of effort) but were still having overscan problems. Windows fit everything perfectly without effort. So I think I will just use windows. I still love linux, and will use it everyday but will run windows with this tv. I am going to use this software. http://www.gbpvr.com -
configure xorg on widescreen tv
shanenin replied to shanenin's topic in Linux & Unix Tips and Tricks
It is giving me some problems(I can't get X to start). I think it may be a modeline issue. I am pretty sure I will be able to get it to work -
when I wroote a plugin(with python) for freevo, I made an installer. It probably took me much longer then 45 minutes :-) http://www.python.org/doc/dist/dist.html

Sweet, I like it :-) did you use py2exe? I think that is how bittorrent is made into an executable. You should see if you are able to use distutils to make an installer.

configure xorg on widescreen tv
shanenin replied to shanenin's topic in Linux & Unix Tips and Tricks
thanks. that is some great info. the tv is 720p the resolution is 1366x768. I forgot that the gentoo wiki has an article for just about anything. What a great resource. -
Thanks. I appreciate the offer, but I guess I can test scripts ok on my local apache setup. I was curious if their was a way to run php scripts in a regular shell, like you can with python.

I just purchased a new LCD tv. It has dvi input. I would like to run linux with xorg. If I use dvi out, instead of vga out on my video card, does my xorg need to be configed differently? for example, if you set up a pci or agp of the same video card, you do not have to config them differntly. I was hoping a dvi video card would config the same as a vga card.

As far as I can tell I can only test my php scripts by running a webserver on my computer. Is their another way to test the scripts?

It is a westinghouse brand. I also thought rca was a good brand, but frome my research their quality has dropped. For three dollars extra a month, I think we can add HD channels to our cable service. I can't wait until monday(pick up a new box)

I ended up buying a 32" lcd for $1000. this is the brand, I bought mine at bestbuy, but here is is listed on amazon http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0007XQ2L...5Fencoding=UTF8

I almost purchased this from walmart this evening. It would not fit in my van so I had to return it. What do you guys think about it? 52 inches of hi-def seems like a great deal for under $1000. This model has dvi inputs, so does that mean I can hook a computer into it without any hassle? Any input on this stly of tv would be appreciated. http://www.walmart.com/catalog/product.do?product_id=3757031

you mentioned in another thread the mouse problem was kernel related. Do you have an idea of what needs to be chaged with this kernel?
-
just a thought, since you have a via chipset you will need these things(among others) enabled in your kernel device drivers >> ata/atapi/mmf/rll support >> via82cxxx chipset support >> Use pci dma by default >> Generic PCI bus-master DMA support for your network card you will need support for this device. device drivers >> network device support >> ehternet 10-100 >> Via-rhine support
-
Just curious, what are your goals(reasons) to recompile your kernel?
-
if you could, it would be good to get a defualt ubunutu kernel config file. I Will do some searching, I will see what I can find in the morning.

I figured out the problem. I had used nvu, I thought I was in source code mode, but I was not(was in wysiwyg mode), so the actual code of the file was shane@mainbox ~ $ cat mytestpage.html <!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01 Transitional//EN"> <html> <head> <meta content="text/html; charset=ISO-8859-1" http-equiv="content-type"> <title>my-test-page</title> </head> <body> <!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd"><br> <html xmlns="http://ww

I am trying to make a simple test page. I have written the following code with a text-editer. I saved the file with this name mytestpage.html <!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd"> <html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml"> <head> <title>this is my test page</title> </head> <body> <p> this should appear </p> </body> </html> when I navigate to this page using my web browser it just displays all of the code above. I was expecting it to just displa

you missed the original. It was just a single page that I did quickly with mozilla compozer. This is a completly new sight. I suppose i should post the old sight for comparison.

I do not think a usb adapter would even make a difference. If it was a usb mouse i may have thought the problem would be a usb module not getting loaded; that is not the case. I am not sure how much control the Deskop enviroment(kde, gnome) has over the mouse, but you may want to see if a different one works(it might give you ideas).

I am sure this has been answered somewhere in this five pages. Is this a usb or ps2 mouse.

Is There An Excel Type Program, Freeware ?

Do most of you run XP as an administator? I make my children run with limited accounts, but both my wife and I run as admins. I would not think of doing this on my linux box(but yet i do it on windows). I think A may have to change this policy soon. edit added later// I suppose it is much easier with linux to get administartor privelges, just one command and a password. With windows I need to logout, and log back in.

It apears the newest gentoo, verison 2006.0 , now comes with an installer. Download it, and give it a try. http://www.gentoo.org/ I do not know a whole lot about it, but I am pretty sure most stuff will need to be confiugred. Just like slackware, most stuff will not be set up for you. Their will still be some work involved with getting everything to work properly. That is a good thing, you will learn alot in the process :-)

I usually shut mine down at night. If it is on, I tend ot want to keep checking things. Then I never get any sleep.
