2004.06.26 ~11 Radeon 7200 gatos, packet-cd (pktcdvd) So now I'm trying get back to online FPS gaming after a five-month hiatus due to a curious {video-capture} XOR {hardware-3d} dichotomy (long form short, I became a TV junkie). I finally managed to compile me a new X from the XOrg tree. The final stretch was finding the page of release tags, which finally got me a XOrg tree that actually compiles (fwiw, 'xorg-6_7_0'). For 3D drivers, it was the DRI tree. After some minor fiddling, it got installed, and glxinfo and glxgears seemed happy. Trying to retain video-capture, I dropped by gatos.sourceforge.net. For some reason, all the pages haven't been updated at all. And the CVS module 'ati.2' is outdated as well. Poring through the mailing list archive, I found there's a new module 'ati.4.4.0', presumably the set intended for XFree86 4.4. Well, it compiled cleanly for XOrg-6_7_0, so whatever. Haven't tried actually vidcapping since the kernel module "km" wasn't ready yet. Then I realized I was in ye olde linux 2.4. So it was time to bake a new kernel of the 2.6 variety. I got a DVD+RW burner back in late April. I've been using UDF and packet-writing for DVD+RWs. So I wanted to retain packet-writing under linux 2.6. Though packet-cd.sourceforge.net is the website for linux packet-writing, again it suffers from outdated content (it claimed latest patch targeted linux 2.4.0). Prior visits to the website and it's mailing list turned up a site that actually carries up-to-date patches, but the url is ridiculously long and complicated. On the off chance that google might be helpful, a search for "packet-cd" turned up the very site that carries the "live" packet-cd patches.
