All,
As usual it never rains but it poors. I have a number of questions,
and
was wondering if anyone else on the list could help.
- Is it possible to configure linux to turn an ATX pc off when you
run
halt?
Configure APM in the bios to do so and it should work.
APM?? whats APM?
- Who was the person on mondays IRC who had started a open tshirts
project?
Missed that put me down for an xxl
- Does anyone know if and what is happening on 29/04/01 with
regard
National linux day? We only have 29 days left to plan!
Mark Ray was getting a room booked. We must do some publicity etc. though, I suggest we meet to discuss on IRC tomorrow night.
very good idea. Does someone want to take owner ship of this? (tomorrow as in the normal monday meet of tomorrow the sunday meet?)
- And finally, I currently refuse to buy a DVD player(as in Hi-fi
seprate) for a number of reasons, most notably I feel that region coding is an infringment on my rights. But I do feel alot happier
with
the idea of playing DVD's from linux with the DeCSS(or similiar)
code.
Can anyone advise on what I would need to play DVD's full screen(or even better 16:9 on a normal screen) with normal stereo sound out
the
sound card.
Plenty of de-regionalized stand alone players on the market. Is your DVD drive firmware fixed or can it be de-regonalized by a flash upgrade? Mine can't so I'm stuck with region 2. :(
I don't yet have a DVD drive as I wasn't sure If I could get a multi region one or not. Can you? if so which ones are any good?
I'd also be interested in trying out full screen DVD anyone got it working?
When I find out how I'll put it on my web site.
Thanks
D
Cheers, BJ
