| 04:26.57 | Gnuman | does anyone know what package to install to get wxWidgets? |
| 04:28.32 | Gnuman | and I also have a few ??'s on bettering my graphis performance on my mini. . . |
| 04:34.48 | Gnuman | OK, I found wxWidgets. . . dselect seems to have skipped over it. . . |
| 04:36.35 | Gnuman | OK, OSG is building happily. . . |
| 04:36.45 | Gnuman | (sheeesh) |
| 04:37.16 | Gnuman | not bad really. . . I only had to add two dozen packages to my system. . . |
| 04:40.18 | Gnuman | Does anyone have information on how to get the best OpenGL performance out of my Mini (ATI Radeon 9200 based)? |
| 04:40.59 | Gnuman | and why in the specs it says I have 32Mb video RAM, but lspci reports 129mb? |
| 04:41.07 | Gnuman | err, 128Mb |
| 04:45.02 | pahartik | Gnuman: "lspci" reports memory region where device is reachable at |
| 04:46.05 | Gnuman | and in brackets, how large that region is. . . |
| 04:46.18 | Gnuman | let me grab the output, if that is OK? |
| 04:47.57 | Gnuman | <PROTECTED> |
| 04:47.57 | Gnuman | <PROTECTED> |
| 04:47.57 | Gnuman | <PROTECTED> |
| 04:48.26 | Gnuman | I see no mention of a 32M memory region. . . |
| 04:49.35 | Gnuman | Oh, pahartik, do you know any ways to tweak teh xorg.conf to get better video performance? |
| 04:50.17 | Gnuman | am I off the deep end here? |
| 04:52.57 | pahartik | Gnuman: Looks like normal frame buffer hardware |
| 04:58.57 | pahartik | Gnuman: Are you having problem with video output with "xv" interface? |
| 05:00.05 | Gnuman | I do not seem to be getting hardware acceleration. . . |
| 05:00.23 | Gnuman | gkxinfo shows direct rendering. . . |
| 05:00.42 | Gnuman | and I'm using teh fb, yes |

| 18:49.12 | Gnuman | can anyone here help me get more video performance out of my Mini (PPC G4 1.42Ghz, Radeon 9200 32Mb RAM) |
| 18:50.42 | Gnuman | two issues: One is that I get glacial framerates when running OpenGL apps. Teh other is that if I turn FB off, I get no video at all |
| 18:51.20 | Bor_Ed | it's a slow chip but first stop is to check if the acceleration is enabled... glxinfo tells that |
| 18:52.10 | pahartik | Gnuman: Define "turn FB off" |
| 18:56.45 | Gnuman | pahartik: when I do thatn (Option "UseFBDev" "false" ) I get no video. . . |
| 18:57.13 | Gnuman | Hmmm, this is worse that it was before. . . |
| 18:57.23 | Gnuman | now I get no gl at all. . . |
| 18:59.10 | Gnuman | give me a sec |

| 19:22.38 | fiddleswrk | are there anyother guis except kde and gnome? |
| 19:23.04 | Bor_Ed | ~20 |
| 19:23.41 | pahartik | fiddleswrk: XFCE is another desktop environment |
| 19:24.07 | Bor_Ed | xfce is a decent gui for resource limited setups or 'classic' looks |
| 19:26.26 | pahartik | fiddleswrk: But if one prefers less "bloat", one can use window manager without full desktop environment |
| 19:32.08 | fiddleswrk | ooo |
| 19:32.10 | fiddleswrk | ook thx |
| 19:33.28 | fiddleswrk | oo i like xfce |
| 19:33.40 | Bor_Ed | it's decent |
| 19:34.03 | Bor_Ed | good ol' cdm or os/2 desktop looks |
| 19:34.12 | Bor_Ed | cde even |
| 19:34.24 | fiddleswrk | yah |
| 19:34.31 | fiddleswrk | this will look nice on an ibook |
| 19:34.55 | Bor_Ed | it ain't that heavy either... ran 4.2 on 486sx25 with 16M ram |
| 19:35.30 | fiddleswrk | woah |
| 19:35.38 | pahartik | fiddleswrk: I have used XFCE since getting my iBook G4 |
| 19:35.48 | fiddleswrk | i have a 700mhz 640mb ram g3 |
| 19:37.54 | Bor_Ed | it'll run gnome too... I have gnome on 233MHz integrated peecee which runs some game servers |
| 19:38.10 | Bor_Ed | 256M ram and all :) |
| 19:40.09 | fiddleswrk | nice |
| 19:40.29 | fiddleswrk | does xfce have any disadvantage to gnome |
| 19:40.30 | fiddleswrk | ? |
| 19:40.37 | Bor_Ed | I'll switch xfce to it when I have time but that can wait |
| 19:41.10 | Bor_Ed | xfce ain't quite as integrated as gnome, file manager ain't loaded on the gui load so it takes a sec or 2 to load such etc |
| 19:41.59 | fiddleswrk | kinda sick of gnome i have it on my 733 p3 with fcore 5 |
| 19:42.16 | Bor_Ed | feedora anything gets that feeling |
| 19:42.16 | fiddleswrk | i want something customizable |
| 19:42.20 | fiddleswrk | haha |
| 19:42.30 | Bor_Ed | been there... |
| 19:43.23 | fiddleswrk | gonna go with debian on the ibook |
| 19:43.40 | fiddleswrk | once my adapter comes >< its just sitting there |
| 19:43.46 | fiddleswrk | all dead |
| 20:24.46 | fiddleswrk | how is xfce with debian |
| 20:25.00 | fiddleswrk | seems liek its not stabel from the website |
| 20:49.06 | mick_work | fiddleswrk: i use debian on my ibook - it is great |
| 20:49.10 | mick_work | no idea about xfce |
| 20:49.13 | mick_work | i use kde |
| 20:49.35 | mick_work | everything worked w/ some tinkering |
| 20:50.24 | fiddleswrk | hmm im thinking debian and gnome |
| 20:50.29 | fiddleswrk | i like enlightenment |
| 20:50.37 | fiddleswrk | as well |
| 20:58.12 | fiddleswrk | think ima go with enligtenment |
| 20:58.15 | fiddleswrk | it looks sweet |
