2954 | 31 No, since there have been/are issues with those compilers.<BR> |
32 Use 2.95.x series for reliability (not <A HREF="gcc-2.96-3.0.html">2.96</A>). | |
33 Use the latest gcc 3.0.x (starting at 3.0.2) if you want to use a 3.0.x version. | |

59 <P>But we has idegs (the word 'ideg' is described further in the FAQ). And our | |
60 idegcounters overflow again and again.</P> | |
61 | |
62 <P>Unfortunately MPlayer is out of our control. It's used by lamers, Linux users | |
63 who can't even use windows, and never tried to compile a kernel. They installed | |
64 (with default options) Mandrake or RedHat or Suse, and without RTFM'ing they | |
65 send messages saying 'it doesn't work! help me! please! i'm new to the linux! | |
66 help! oh! help me!'. We can't stop them, but at least we try to force them RTFM | |
67 and to read fuckin' messages of ./configure and mplayer.</P> | |
68 | |
69 <P>And you clever guys come and flame us with gcc 2.96 and binary packages. | |
70 Instead of helping users or making patches to help solve problems.</P> | |
71 | |
72 <P>Half of our spare/free time is spent by answering silly mails here and | |
73 making newer tricks and checks to configure to avoid such mails.</P> | |
74 | |
75 <P>And there is a balance. On one hand are you, clever guys, saying we are very | |
76 bad because we don't like buggy gcc 2.96, and at the other hand there are the | |
77 'new to linux' guys who are showing us gcc 2.96 is buggy.</P> | |
78 | |
2954 | 79 <P>Conclusion: we can't be good. Half of people always will say we are bad.</P> |
2137 | 80 |
81 <P>Maybe we should close the project, make it closed source, commercial, and | |
82 provide install support for it. then we could leave current work, so | |
83 development could go faster, and we earn lots of money with it and buy a big | |
84 house, etc etc. Do you really want it? It seems.</P> | |

223 you must specify the -vm and the -fs switch, and you're done. |
1682 | 224 Make sure you have the right Modelines in your XF86Config file, and |
225 try if the DGA driver (and SDL's DGA driver, see RTFM) works for you. | |
226 It's much faster. If SDL's DGA works too, use that, it'll be EVEN faster! | |
