Success with ati drivers
by DCZX 17 Jun '06

17 Jun '06

I finally got the display working correctly! Here's what I did: 1. Downloaded newest Linux driver from ati (.run file) 2. Installed Musix 0.49 3. As root, ran installation utility. 5. As root ran: aticonfig -initial -input=/etc/X11/xorg.conf 6. Rebooted Musix. 7. On Reboot, some question in spanish about rebooting comes up. Answer "no". 8. Set refresh rates in Kcontrolpanel. 9. Make musica! =) I know the ati drivers aren't 100% gnu open source and all, but the open source drivers aren't good enough for Radeon cards until ati releases some more code. __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?

049 ISO Problems
by DCZX 16 Jun '06

16 Jun '06

I've downloaded 049 twice and burnt it and each time, when I try to boot it on my pc, I get an error: "checksum mismatch, rebooting, sorry." or something like that. Is there something wrong with the iso on gnu.org? thanks __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Tired of spam? Yahoo!

refresh rates continued
by DCZX 13 Jun '06

13 Jun '06

Ok, so I'm using a CRT. I edited xorg.conf and got it exactly setup right. I was amazed when I rebooted and everything was back to 60hz again and 1024x768!!! I think somehow the "autoconfigurano" or autoconfiguration is resetting xorg.conf every time I boot up! Is there a way to stop this? thank you __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Tired of spam? Yahoo! Mail has the best spam protection around http://mail.yahoo.com

refresh rates continued

Well, kcontrol lists my resolution at 1024x768 and my refresh at 101hz. However, the monitor reports it's at 60hz and it flickers. Strangely, there are no other refresh options in Kcontrol, it's locked at 101hz. Is something wrong? thanks __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Tired of spam? Yahoo!

Sorry about my last posting... having trouble with e-mail today I guess. Anyway, I just wanted to make some humble suggestions for programs to include with Musix.. I think they're all Opensource/Free ok.

VPO has not license statement? it is not GPL?
by Marcos Guglielmetti 10 Jun '06

10 Jun '06

Hi Atsushi Ueda I see: http://orgue.com/linux_organ/index-e.shtml I want to include VPO into Musix GNU/Linux, but I dont see any license statement, it's VPO GPL? There is no COPYING file into the source code too: we need that kind of things... there are copyright laws that makes the things copyrighted automatically even if there is no copyright notice. Well, that's all, I hope you could make it GPL so we can include it into the Musix distro, thanks! -- Marcos Guglielmetti * Director del desarrollo de Musix GNU+Linux, 100% Software Libre * Descarga el CD de Musix: (www.musix.org.ar) (www.pc-musica.com.ar/musix) * Videos, programas y otras cosas en: ftp://musix.ourproject.org/pub/musix/ * Reporte de errores a: https://www.musix.org.ar/wiki/index.php?title=Problemas-Bugs
