Off topic - mobo recommendations

I'm shopping for a new developer machine for which I'll be using Fedora as the development platform. Its been about about 7-8 years since I built a machine from scratch but since then I've accumulated a lot of parts that ultimately could contribute to a nice box if I had the right motherboard. I'm partial to AMD chips. I'm not a gamer but I do like nice visuals and decent sound. I've got a good video and sound card now but they are both 7-8 years old. I suspect things have changed a lot and almost wonder if newer motherboards don't offer better on board now. I plan on taking advantage of virtualization so I imagine memory and processing speed would be indicated. Over the long run I always seem to run out of PCI slots or USB ports so that would be a premium. Economy is also a bonus. I don't mind paying for performance and extensibility but if I could get something pretty decent at a low cost maybe I could buy a couple and replace another older board I have running. I also like BIOS's that are tweak friendly. Right now the fastest machine in my fleet is an Intel Pentium M 1.4 GHz running on a dell laptop. My desktop (development) is running an old AMD Thunderbird which I don't even think breaks 1GHz and has only .5Gb of onboard memory. Sorry for off topic, just thought this might be the best place to get an idea of what everybody else is using since we all share interest in the same development platform. Flame me directly, spare the list :) Thanks - Tod

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Bonjour, I installed kaffeine. Scan of TV network was OK. I can select a TV network but cannot see any image or ear any sound. If I record the selected program, it is recorded and I can see it using vlc (for instance). What is missing in kaffeine? (f10 version) Thanks. - -- François Patte UFR de mathématiques et informatique Université Paris Descartes 45, rue des Saints Pères F-75270 Paris Cedex 06 Tél. +33 (0)1 4286 2145 http://www.math-info.univ-paris5.fr/~patte -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.9 (GNU/Linux) Comment: Using GnuPG with Fedora - http://enigmail.mozdev.org iEYEARECAAYFAkn9tBcACgkQdE6C2dhV2JUDygCg1QZ+0StWHD1ynIt63U8EdxeK Yx0AoKm6BY491Fsm+5CPXGA0x9+9fNlg =VPiJ -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----

laptop overheating using F9
by ADITYA KRISHNAN 03 May '09

03 May '09

Hi All, I have a HP Pavillion dv2000 laptop running Fedora 9. I notice that running it for more than an hour causes my laptop to overheat. The temperature screenlet displays the CPU temperature to be 80C, which I believe is pretty high and I do not run any heavy applications. I read on some previous thread that appending "acpi=on" on the kernel line of grub.conf solves this problem. But it has made no difference. Let me know is there any particular software i can download for preventing this overheating. Thanks. Aditya

Colors different under mplayer and Gnome Mplayer
by Jonathan Ryshpan 03 May '09

03 May '09

I've been using mplayer to view videos till today, when I decided to try out totem and gnome-mplayer. Both totem and gnome-mplayer play videos smoothly and with good sound, but the colors are different from the ones I get with mplayer. Totem and gnome-mplayer both display the same, but I think the colors in mplayer are correct. Skin tones in totem look bluish. Totem and gnome-mplayer seem to be displaying red where mplayer displays blue and vice versa. Are there any sample videos that I can use to find out what's going on? The videos I've been looking at are in AVI and Windows Media formats. The system is x86_64 running F10 with an Nvidia GeForce 9500 GT with the proprietary Nvidia driver. The colors displayed by all other applications look quite reasonable. Any help would be very welcome. jon
