hello, first post. regarding the next LUG meeting. does anyone know when and where it might be? i would like to meet some of you people in RL. 8~)
also, i am interested in volunteering for the WSF stall. and i assume the LUG meeting would be the best place to discuss it.
another qtn: i have been wanting to get a broadband connection for sometime now. what would you people recommend? local cable guy, or a big firm ..etc? What connection do you use (and why)?

And here. Though there are a few X related problems. I had to recompile the kernel to get it working, so I might have screwed something.
Mplayer or any other player can use XV as video output plugin, it displays a blue window when I do. X11 works but then I cant scale, so no full screen.
Cant export DISPLAY anything from other computers.
And I remember selecting low latency and modified scheduling options during compiling but its still not as responsive as the kernel shipped with mandrake 9.2. [Am using gentoo-source kernel which is patched 2.4.22 I guess].
There is good possibility I RTFMed a bit more and founding time to recompile my kernel will solve these problems, but am currently quite busy with other stuff, so if you think there is some quick solution to any of the above problems please let me know.
TIA,

Use -vo sdl. Or, while using -vo x11, use -zoom.

Firewall config? Check your iptables. /etc/hosts.[allow|deny] ?

2.6.0-test11 rules! :-P

SDL too doesnt work. Blue window. X11 with zoom is too slow for my system, give full screen but cant watch a movie like that. Any Idea why SDL/XV are not working?

Remember doing emerge and subsequently emergee unmerge shorewall. Riight now there are no hosts.allow/deny files. What else I can look under to make sure there is no firewall problem. I seriously doubt the sanity of my XF86Config settings as it took me 2 days of mucking arnd with to get the X functioning properly. I wonder if there is any possibility to set the config in a way to not listen for tcp connections by default?

remerge mplayer with +sdl in your USE flags. Should solve it.

do a "ps ax" or equivalent. Look for firewall like processes(iptables etc), or any process/daemon which you don't know the reason for it being there.

/* crude, fix-it-all method */
remove your XF86Config. Run xf86config as root again. You may want to take a "stock" XF86Config file from somewhere and try that out. The vesa driver usually works with everything, if all else fails.

Its there in /etc/make.profile/make.defaults and I have not used -sdl in make.conf. I dont think that will help.

Nopes, but I found this:
11664 vc/1 S 0:00 xinit /home/upadhyay/.xinitrc -- -nolisten tcp -deferglyphs 16

Umm... thats how I generated it in the first place. But this vesa thing looks interesting. I guess I have enough reasons to restart my X, I was trying to avoid doing that just to see how long my KDE3.2beta1 runs before crashing, and in last 5 days not a single app has crashed! Wonder why they are not releasing this amazing piece of work.
Thanks a lot dude.

Read that as "cant".
