Digital Camera 'DigiPix'

2000-03-18 Thread Tim Fairchild
The local school recently bought a cheap digital camera, a digipix axis from Hanimex Australia. Comes with some kids software 'fotobee' for windows. The idea is a cheap simple camera the kids can use then upload the image to the school PC's for projects. Seems to be a local Australian product? t

Hi. Trying to get X working with Open PT80 video (SiS 6326). It's listed as supported by XFree-SVGA, (I have 3.3.5) but doesn't seem to be 100% Okay, so it will 'work' to some extent. Seems to be useable (but far from perfect) at 24 bit and 800x600. Other modes are a total wipeout. Text becomes
