Everybody knows most things just drop a lot of frames when displaying video on the screen. Dropping a (at the current point of time) invisible video stream is not cheating, I even wouldn't consider using a hack that did not do so.

I had 3.0 working with the same config files that don't work with 3.01 Gold. I don't think it's your config stuff. I think it's time to fire off an e-mail to netscape.

I thought the original poster said the problem was that Netscape refused to recognize a mime type and instead wanted to download the file to disk? This is the problem I am having here, but only with 3.01, not 3.0. IOW, Netscape does not bring up the helper application to play the mime file type. It acts as if it was never entered, even though it is plainly in the file.

Wacky enough to do the same sort of thing with a cube on a Commodore64... obviously, they were anim files, not Quicktime. "64K?!?! My God! How will you ever fill that up?!?". 8-). Just the knowledge that sneaky is available makes it a little less impressive on a PPC604, though. The old debate between whether you should throw fast hardware or clever software at a problem, I guess... (PS: the correct answer is "both". 8-)).

Can you post details on how to get a hold of one of these cards? I could be convinced to buy one, as long as it gets into vic some time or another. This will be going into a new ASUS P55T2P4 as soon as I remember to place the order ... :) Doug White | University of Oregon Internet: dwhite@resnet.uoregon.edu | Residence Networking Assistant http://gladstone.uoregon.edu/~dwhite | Computer Science Major From owner-freebsd-multimedia Tue Jan 28 13:40:05 1997 Return-Path: Received: (from root@localhost) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.8.5/8.8.5) id NAA12356 for multimedia-outgoing; Tue, 28 Jan 1997 13:40:05 -0800 (PST) Received: from MVS.OAC.UCLA.EDU (mvs.oac.ucla.edu [164.67.200.200]) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.8.5/8.8.5) with SMTP id NAA12338 for ; Tue, 28 Jan 1997 13:40:02 -0800 (PST) Message-Id: <199701282140.NAA12338@freefall.freebsd.org> Received: from UCLAMVS.BITNET by MVS.OAC.UCLA.EDU (IBM MVS SMTP V2R2.1) with BSMTP id 8827; Tue, 28 Jan 97 13:40:04 PST Date: Tue, 28 Jan 97 13:39 PST To: Richard Tobin From: Denis DeLaRoca Subject: Re: OSS CC: multimedia@FREEBSD.ORG Sender: owner-multimedia@FREEBSD.ORG X-Loop: FreeBSD.org Precedence: bulk On Tue, 28 Jan 1997 16:17:22 GMT, Richard Tobin said: > What is the current state of the Open Sound System port to FreeBSD?

The sound is fine unless I have another window scrolling text (as in "while [ 1 ]; do ps -ax; done"). At that time, the sound seems to stop playing (the sound process starves?). I've tried the sound card at IRQ 5 and 7 (always DMA channel 1), with and w/o the 'shared DMA channel' set on the card. Nothing else is using the IRQ or DMA channel that the sound card is on. I've been setting the LPT device to the other IRQ [5 or 7]. I've also tried setting "options SBC_IRQ=5" in the kernel config file (and rebuilding/ installing it). I have DMA channel 1 and IRQ channels 5 and 7 set for "Legacy ISA" in the BIOS config (yes, there are four PCI devices in there: de0, video, PCI IDE, and USB port), so nothing should be stealing the IRQ or DMA channel.

The way 3.0 *was* working was that you could click on a link to a .html file on any page and it would play. It recognized the mime type and the helper it needed from the file "extension" (.mid). The doswindows version still seems to do this. I think Netscape may have broken something when they did 3.01 gold for FreeBSD. You can set up a test page on your own machine. Put a midi file somewhere, then make a simple test page with a link to it, using a local file on your machine as the test page (file://...). When you click on the link to the midi file, it should play. I had this working just fine on 3.0, but when I went to 3.01 gold, it quit. Something I *never* got to work was "background". Some web pages have background midi sound tracks using background=somefile.mid up in the body section of the document. These never played on the FreeBSD version of Netscape, even though I could click on a midi file link and it would play. Also, a wierd querk I have noticed with the midi setup (I'm using playmidi in the FM mode) is that some of the tracks seem to be an octave too low musically. Have you noticed this? -Jim Durham From owner-freebsd-multimedia Wed Jan 29 19:11:05 1997 Return-Path: Received: (from root@localhost) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.8.5/8.8.5) id TAA14364 for multimedia-outgoing; Wed, 29 Jan 1997 19:11:05 -0800 (PST) Received: from po1.glue.umd.edu (root@po1.glue.umd.edu [129.2.128.44]) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.8.5/8.8.5) with ESMTP id TAA14355 for ; Wed, 29 Jan 1997 19:11:01 -0800 (PST) Received: from channel.eng.umd.edu (channel.eng.umd.edu [129.2.98.186]) by po1.glue.umd.edu (8.8.5/8.7.3) with ESMTP id WAA13261 for ; Wed, 29 Jan 1997 22:10:47 -0500 (EST) Received: from localhost (chuckr@localhost) by channel.eng.umd.edu (8.8.5/8.7.3) with SMTP id WAA00740 for ; Wed, 29 Jan 1997 22:10:46 -0500 (EST) X-Authentication-Warning: channel.eng.umd.edu: chuckr owned process doing -bs Date: Wed, 29 Jan 1997 22:10:46 -0500 (EST) From: Chuck Robey X-Sender: chuckr@channel.eng.umd.edu To: FreeBSD-multimedia@FreeBSD.org Subject: MIDI keyboards Message-ID: MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: TEXT/PLAIN; charset=US-ASCII Sender: owner-multimedia@FreeBSD.org X-Loop: FreeBSD.org Precedence: bulk I have become the proud owner of a cheap midi keyboard.

Everything else checks out, or so it appears. The only thing I can think of is that accelX is stickier about video output that XFree is.

Excuse me for coming up with this question again but it seemed that I didn't get an answer yet to my question of Nov 96 re: similar subject. Or I must have missed it. Sujal? Amancio? If not, has anyone incorporated them into 3.0? In other words: Is there a chance to get vat working with a GUS (plain ~) under 3.0-current in full duplex mode? --Chris Christoph P. U.

Unless somebody has finally created a keyboard input module for rosegarden ( 2.0 is the last release i have seen, and it does not do it, wish it did, cause otherwise rosegarden is totally ready for [prime time.. ), u are limited to jazz or tclmidi. Tclmidi is written by mike durian and a guy named greg wolodkin wrote a simple sequencer in tcl ( i would use it, except i *despise* tcl. period. ) for the tclmidi package. Needs special midi driver, but mike tells u how to install it in the readme. i would not reccomend jazz because it does not have a freebsd driver and it requires xviews, which i might hate more than tcl, but i am not sure. somebody(tm) needs to write a keyboard driver for rosegarden....
