Yoz,


does anybody know if there are some neat drivers for my radeon (afair 9300), linux SuSE 10.0?


As far as I got, ati only provides stuff for XFree and X.Org, and afair the gnome desktop runs on top of metacity.


If you experienced linux-sysops  think I am talking crap or something, exusez moi, I am new on that os (2-3 weeks due redmond-death-trip >> [LINK http://greenhybrid.net/] )



And could you give me some hints for the start (I really need a l33t media-player for my meditation sessions)



thx in forward


gh

This is your formal notice. Please turn in your geek badge immediately.


rule #1: a proper driver you'll have for each and every piece of hardware you rely on.


ATI has never bothered writing a decent linux driver for any of their hardware. Never. Ever. Every bisextile year, someone from their marketing department comes and says that, really, no shit, they're going to do something about it.


Nvidia provides, and has been providing for years, <censored> binary drivers. But they work with all hardware, old & new, and provide the same features as their windows counterpart.

Draw your own conclusions.


There's a plethora of bloated media-players. For video, vlc does the job. And then if you're into bling-bling, amarok may play mp3.

So what to? Writing my own driver? Really, ... no.  

Looks like I have to live with the slow-scroll-functionality in codeblocks. Btw what ide are you running gcc with, tbp? Which desktop? (like I mentioned, I run gnome, but also like the minimalistic no-desktop-at-all-but-x-windows screens (one was window-maker afair).


Thx for the tip on the media-players, will try them at home.

anjuta in general looks pretty kool and seems to own some functionality, but the editor window is hell of a bug, too crazy, reminds me of a sys-error in neo's 'teh matrix'


After I finally found where to setup the editors font in c::b I think I'll stay there, not bad if you have setup a project and want to hack-port it to another os (like I did some days ago with my tracer from redmond-crap-os to linux).
