+title: DivX is My Friend
+---
+
+I found a really great <I>Star Trek: The Next Generation</I> DivX site;
+I've been grabbing episodes since last night.  Check it out 
+<a href="http://members.tripod.co.uk/Kristok/episodes/tng/">here</a>.
+Speaking of DivX, the next generation of the DivX ;-) codec is available,
+but this time with source. See <a href="http://www.projectmayo.com/opendivx/">Project Mayo: OpenDivX</a> for more information.

+<a href="/projects/pheh/">Pheh</a> 0.2.1 is out.  I've got v0.2.2 sitting
+here on my box; it's almost ready to go.  The only problem is, I upgraded
+to the SGI GLU headers so compile the latest CVS Evas, and I must have
+gotten a broken snapshot, because now no GLU-related stuff works correctly.
+Oh well, I'll fix it soon enough.  0.2.2 adds webcam and native 
+<a href="/projects/cam/">Cam</a> bookmark support.  I'm still working on
+sane keyboard support; I might hold off v0.2.2 until that is ready to
+go.

+I've been having a horrendous time with kernel 2.4.  Here's
+the problem;  I've got a GeForce 2 MX TwinView and the KT133 chipset.
+Now, kernel 2.4 has KT133 AGP support via agpgart, and the 
+NVidia driver has #ifdefs so it doesn't use it's own AGP support. So,
+in theory I _should_ be able to compile the kernel with KT133 agpgart
+support, reboot, and compile the NVidia drivers (which would exclude
+it's own AGP driver).  Alternatively, I could compile 2.4 without
+agpgart, and compile the NVidia driver, which would use it's own (working)
+KT133 support.  Fortunately for me neither of those two options
+works; I get a hard lock after my ssh-agent dialog closes.  Before
+you ask, yes I've applied the linux-2.4.0-PR patch; 0.9-5 won't
+compile under 2.4 without it.  I've also tried the TNT2 M64 POST 
+patch (someone in #nvidia thought it might help), and various other
+crap.  The only thing I haven't tried yet is upgrading from XFree86
+4.0.1 to 4.0.2.  At this point, I suspect that may be the problem,
+but I'm sticking with 2.2 for the time being.
+<br /><br />
+
+On a more positive note, I tried out both SVGATextMode (132x60) and
+fbcon.  Wow! FBCon looks great -- totally smooth fonts in 
+console; absolutely amazing -- but it's a bit on the slow side.  
+I like SVGATextMode a bit more at the moment.  It's not noticeably
+slower, but there's a _ton_ of console space.  I actually felt a bit
+cramped once I got back into X.  
+<br /><br />
+
+Finally, I've heard rumors about the new Nvidia Linux drivers having
+multihead or even xinerama GL support.  Needless to say, I've been
+checking the 
+<a href="http://www.nvidia.com/Products/Drivers.nsf/Linux.html">page</a>
+about 1000 times a day waiting for it to come out.  Then again, the
+drivers were supposed to come out before christmas, so who knows...
