bvc Posted March 18, 2004 Report Share Posted March 18, 2004 Have you tried Harddrake? If it doesn't allow you to switch the default and, since I don't have ml-10 installed you'll have to help me to be able to help you. For alsa sound..... I don't recall the name, but there'sa folder, not file, in /etc/called something like modules, or module.config or something. In it you'll find a few files and/or folders. Find a file called alsa and post it, /etc/modules.conf. The best and easiest it to disable the onboard from the bios, if one of them is an onboard soundcard.

Ghil Vertefeuille Posted March 18, 2004 Author Report Share Posted March 18, 2004 (edited) ok so the sound is okay now... but the videos still looks awkward... Edited March 18, 2004 by Ghil Vertefeuille Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bvc Posted March 18, 2004 Report Share Posted March 18, 2004 Most bios is accessed by pressing Del, F1, or Esc when you first boot the pc. The manual will say how. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ghil Vertefeuille Posted March 18, 2004 Author Report Share Posted March 18, 2004 ok when I try to view some movies (in any video program, xine, mplayer) the image is greyish with some violet... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bvc Posted March 18, 2004 Report Share Posted March 18, 2004 hmmm....I have no clue....I've never had a prob other than video's/dvd's in linux just plain stink compared to win. Missing the win_codecs pkg? Not using xv for the driver? I don't know. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aRTee Posted March 18, 2004 Report Share Posted March 18, 2004 There is a known problem that the hue is set wrongly - could you try with totem, just play a video, then do preferences or settings, video, set hue slider to the complete left...?

Tuxiscool Posted March 18, 2004 Report Share Posted March 18, 2004 Quoted from Mandrakesoft Wiki pages here. Problem: Totem displays black and white video files with nVidia graphics cards. Solution: Adjust Hue setting in menu Edition -> Preferences -> Display tab -> Color balance. The hue slider should be pushed to the far left.

Uiler Posted March 18, 2004 Report Share Posted March 18, 2004 ok it's working better than 9.2, really faster and all but... how do I import the windows fonts? how can I set up URPMI (easyurpmi doesn't have 10.0) edit: XMMS won't play at all....he just freeze :S that's all I can remember for now lol 1. Try drakfont. If it doesn't work, use KDE font installer in the KDE control centre. Actually use KDE font installer anyway, the drakfont UI makes me tear my hair out and I don't think it worked anyway. 2. No idea. 3. If starting xmms from a menu option or an icon, remove "soundwrapper" in front of the xmms command. 4. Bad colours in video: Your hue is set in the centre. Move hue setting to far left.

bigjohn Posted March 18, 2004 Report Share Posted March 18, 2004 (edited) Well, I don't tend to watch movies - so I haven't got a clue. The font thing is a little annoying though - the "get windows font" option that was available under 9.1 (dunno about 9.2, I never bothered with that). To have to go back to "the old ways" of getting the windows fonts is a bit of a pisser, but if I want to get them installed, that's what I'm gonna have to do I suppose. One thing that I've noticed about listening to audio cd's though, is that I always had to open kscd and change the config from using the default device from the default /dev/cdrom to /dev/scd0 (I should explain that I have a dvdrom device and a cdrw hence having to nominate the /dev/scd0 to get any sound out of it - because as far as I am aware, that's the only drive that's got the audio lead to the sound card - I'm probably just too lazy to open the box, to see if my soundblaster live! 5.1 digital has 2 audio inputs!). For now I've been able to just tell kscd to use /dev/cdrom1 - I suspect that the dvdrom device is just /dev/cdrom. regards John p.s. for scoopy, I use that avatar, because I seem to spend so much time using linux, but going round in circles (ok, squares in this case) - but I'll make it smaller if I can work out how, that might make it a little less instrusive :) Edited March 18, 2004 by bigjohn Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ghil Vertefeuille Posted March 18, 2004 Author Report Share Posted March 18, 2004 ok thanks, the hue fixed it all ^^ Now for XMMS...I'll check back to that :P Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
