Divx and DVD playback

2003-09-21 Thread AnotherLinuxGuy 
what is the best of the best when it comes to a program that does
playback of divx and DVDs? i have heard Xine and Mplayer, in Xine i get
no sound, i use esd or dsp i think, its on a compaq armada m700 laptop,
and in mplayer i get a segment fault right off the bat, but they dont
have a deb package and i just downloaded their rpm and used alien to
convert it, so i wasnt to hopefull in the first place.  does anyone have
any other suggestions on programs that "just work" right out of the box?

Onboard Promise RAID WAS:Re: compatible FS between linux and windows

2003-08-29 Thread AnotherLinuxGuy 
Ok, thanks for all the help with the FS question, now i have a new one,
i have an Asus A7V333 board and it has the Promise Chip onboard
PDC20276, i have 2 80gigs hooked up and when it boots it goes into the
fasttrack133 bios where it RAID 0 the two drives, i formatted them in
FAT32 so both win and lin could read and write to them, but i booted
knoppix just to see what it would look like, if i could actually write
etc, and it didnt find it automaticly, what device would this be using?
