Any good DVD rippers apart from DRIP?

Hi, I was just wondering if anyone has found a good DVD-ripper/ DivX MPEG4 encoder combination. I was playing around with DRIP for a while but I couldn't get it running. It just keeps crashing, freezing and segfaulting... Any ideas? I'm not against command-line tools, but I would prefer not havin

Can the scsi emulation kill the hard drive?

Hi, It's been a while since I tried to use my CD-burner under Linux. I remember that the last time ended in some strange error messages saying that parts of the /var directory are unreadable. This made the whole Linux setup unusable. I had a similar problem with my debian box a few weeks ago. Unf

XFree 4.1 and DRI stability

Hi Debian Users, I just got the whole DRI thing working and to try it out, I installed Q3-Arena. I'm running an 2.4.8 SMP-kernel and XFree 4.1. on a Voodoo3. The thing is, that this configuration is extremly instable. I can reproduce crashes (complete system halts!) at any time. I was wondering w

Quake3 hangs after GL Initialisation

Hi, I have a woody/sid running on XFree 4.1 and a 2.4.7 SMP Kernel. My soundcard is a SB64 PCI (es1371) and the grafic board is a Voodoo3 3000. I had DRI properly configured and everything was working fine. Q3 ran at decent framerates and with sound. But when I started playing around with the vi

How do I get the DRI working on XFree 4.1.0?

Hi, It's been quite a while that I'm trying to get DRI working on my Voodoo3. But I can't find a solution to the following problem: The X-server output says that DRI is up and running. The tdfx driver is loaded and everything looks fine. But when I start glxinfo, it tells me that only soft render

Search engine on lists.debian.org broken?

Hi, Has anyone had any problems searching the user mailing archive recently? Since several days, I always get 0 results whatever I enter as search string. Is it broken or am I just too stupid? __ Do You Yahoo!? Make international calls for as l

DRI error in Xfree 4.1.0

Hi, I have a little problem running DRI in Xfree 4.1.0 on a debian woody with kernel 2.4.7-SMP and a Voodoo3. I get the following message: (II) TDFX(0): [drm] drmOpen failed (EE) TDFX(0): [dri] DRIScreenInit failed, disabling DRI. Does anybody know why I get this error? Is there any known SMP pr

sndstat - no such device

Hi, I have a little problem with my sound configuration. I have an esd sound deamon up and running fine for all apps that use it. But the normal dsp device doesn't seem to work properly. First I had problems getting the sound-module es1371 loaded automatically by kerneld. So I loaded it by defaul

Xv-problem on xfree 4.0.3

Hi, I'm running Debian testing/unstable with an 2.4.7 kernel and xfree 4.0.3. I have a Voodoo3 running in my dual celeron 400, so I guess that Xv should be running fine. But when I start the xine dvd player, I get the following message: XvShmCreateImage returned a zero size - probably best to tr

Sound Module not loaded (was: Modules gone after Kernel update to 2.4.7)

Hi, thanks for the link. I updated some more packages and finally everything works, except one little detail: The sound modules are not automatically loaded by the esd sound deamon when a sound application uses it. XMMS quits saying "device /dev/dsp does not exist". Obviously, the device exists

BTTV on Debian and Kernel 2.4.7

Hi, I just installed my first debian distribution: a Potato r3 with some updates (kernel 2.4.7 and xfree 4.0.3). Under SUSE-Linux I had my TV-Card (Terratec TV+) running perfectly. SUSE installed everything automatically, which means that I have no idea what to do. In addition to that, the kernel

Modules gone after Kernel update to 2.4.7

Hi, I recently upgraded my Kernel from 2.2.19 to 2.4.7. Everything worked fine at the first glance. But when I try using functins that are available vie kernel modules, I get a message saying "xxx not supported by kernel" (or something similar). A modprobe ends with a mesage saying "Cannot find mo

New device names after kernel update from 2.2 to 2.4

Hi, I have a general question about the possibility of updating from 2.2.18 to a 2.4.x kernel without reinstalling everything. A lot of things changed in the new release and I just wanted to know if updating in this case means a complete new installation or if it is just another make, dep, clean,
