<0> my macbook pro stopped booting os x :(
<0> It just hangs during boot. The windows partition still works on it though
<0> it's strange.
<0> It's actually faster than my desktop, but it runs so hot, I can't really use it in my lap.
<0> I still use my desktop for pretty much everything
<1> damn
<1> I want a macbook pro soooo bad :)
<1> Im still on my g4 powerbook :P
<0> hehe
<1> Im not sure if I'll upgrade to the new desktop system they're announcing on the 7th or to a new macbook pro first
<2> That should be good enough for a laptop, usually
<0> I love it
<1> Maloeran - not when you're paid to do GL work
<0> It put it to shame though I think
<1> the gfx card doesn't cut it
<0> It can run fear quite well
<2> Do you really have to do that on a laptop though?
<1> yes
<0> It's a better card than my desktop has :P
<0> The thing is, I keep it over by my tv most of the time
<2> It's just curious to have high-end laptops that just cook your lap and burn their batteries in 1-2 hours on full use... :)
<0> hooked up to the stereo and all that.
<0> I can use the remote that comes with it to play itunes stuff through the stereo, and I can also stream video over the network to my hd tv
<1> cool, hows that work?
<0> That much works great! it's the perfect media computer ;)
<0> and then I can just unplug it and do whatever if I want
<1> but how do you stream to your tv?
<0> I play the video over the network
<0> from my desktop
<1> yes
<1> okay
<1> gotcha
<1> and thats fast enough?
<1> hrm
<0> I'm not that happy with the player I'm using though
<0> yeah the 100 base T line is, but the wireless isn't fast enough.
<1> I'm considering using xbmc and streaming to it
<1> okay
<1> thats good to know
<0> yep ;)
<0> actually though
<0> my wireless router is old
<0> it's back from my ibook days
<1> ah
<0> It's only 11bmit
<0> mbit
<1> oh :P
<0> so that might not apply to you.
<0> I pretty much have a whole little docking station over by my tv though with the dvi cable, the network cable, wireless keyboard and mice, and all that.
<0> power.
<0> so the cable isn't really that big of a deal to me
<0> I haven't seen much progress being made on the drivers though
<0> for windows I mean
<0> maybe I just don't know where to look,.
<0> And here's something I've never quite been able to figure out: Lots of digital media has support for 5.1 channel stereo, but it's really hard to actually play that through my home stereo
<0> I have an optical cable that works in the headphone / optical port
<0> but it doesn't seem to encode properly.
<0> I mean for DTS or whatever.
<0> I don't even have any broadcasting Maloeran.
<0> but I do love my tv
<0> It's just so nice, and clear and bright. I'm completely sold on DLP
<0> especially for hooking up a PC to it.
<0> since LCD and Plasma burn.
<2> The only thing my television renders is the output from the nes and snes, so I suppose image quality is less of an issue
<0> But yeah, my biggest complaint about the macbook is that it's too hot.
<0> they did a really crappy job with the thermal paste
<0> there's people that have taken them apart and fixed it themselves, but I don't want to risk it, and void the warrenty.
<2> The heat has to go somewhere, with the kind of computing power they put in the things
<2> Oh? I see
<0> the problem is they put a huge glob of the thermal paste on
<0> and it conducts to the chasis
<0> so it's transfering the heat from the cpus to your lap :P
<2> Ugh :)
<0> the fans hardly ever kick in too because the exhaust pipe doesn't properly recieve all of the heat, since your lap does so much of the work.
<0> and the thermometer reading is on the exhaust pipes.
<0> They should have done a recall offered a fix if you send it in, but I think they didn't want the negative publicity with a recall.
<0> OR* offered ...
<2> I'm not fond of laptops anyway. I care about processing power, and the number crunch / cost ratio is horrible
<0> TBH it's a damn perfect media computer though
<0> very quiet, and very powerful.
<0> I bet those mac cube things would work well too
<0> nice and compact.
<0> later.
<2> See you later
<0> Anyway... It froze while I was watching a show, and it hasn't been able to start back up =(
<0> I got a couch delivered today. Very cozy.
<0> woah, that was freaky, I got a link to my project from a completely unrelated search on google.
<0> I guess that's cool actually.
<3> Anybody know of any articles/tutorials on creating 3d box covers with opengl?
<1> 3d box covers?
<1> .. what?
<4> maybe he means quilting?
<4> maybe looking for tutorials on cloth shaders??
<1> maybe
<5> damnit
<5> cant figure out how to optimise my display list
<6> hey all
<5> hi
<6> i am having a bit of a problem, i am on linux, and my app seems to be making the Xserver consume 99.5% of the cpu
<6> i have been debugging my code, and there are a few... abnormalities
<5> put in delay(2);
<5> maybe that will help
<6> sometimes when drawing a single quad it can take up to 300ms
<6> yeah, I am not blocking the CPU
<5> http://www.codercorner.com/Strips.htm
<6> is that meant for me?
<7> almost sounds like a hw problem :P
<7> or possibly a driver issue
<6> possibly
<6> anyway, http://www.rafb.net/paste/results/C15WDo71.html
<6> am i doing anything stupidly wrong here?
<7> no
<7> should work fine
<7> have you tried it with mesa?
<6> that is what i am using i believe
<7> ok, that will be kinda slow, but 300ms is kinda extreme
<6> yeah, and it is only sometimes
<7> does it always take 300ms, or just sometimes?
<7> ah
<6> 95% of the time is fine
<6> here is my startup code, you will have to forgive me, i don't understand the code completly, but i thik everything here is right
<6> http://www.rafb.net/paste/results/V5yEYp47.html
<6> if there is anything stupid or unnessessary, please let me know
<7> try SDL_OPENGL instead of SDL_OPENGLBLIT
<7> and SW surface
<7> without SDL_RLEACCEL
<6> no luck
<6> one thing also, i don't have working DRM, but someone told me that it isn't required, only makes things somewhat faster
<6> anyway, i must go for aboyt 15 min, if you see something obvious, tell me, otherwise don't bother yourself too much
<7> it looks fine
<8> hmm...
<6> ok, thank you
<6> i am beginning to think it is a driver issue
<7> I noticed one thing
<6> yeah?
<7> try setting 8 bits per component
<7> instead of 5
<7> for red, green and blue
<7> 555 surface might not work too well on a 32bit surface
<6> yeah, thanks
<6> didn't fix it though, xserver still getting raped
<6> it is really ****ed
<6> i am getting constantly 1fps, but my program is looping 100 or so times
<6> a second
<6> on the 100th time, a random drawing of a quad takes a m***ive amount of time
<7> do you swap the buffers after you draw?
<6> yes, religiously
<6> well, one time each cycle
<7> and you use SDL_GL_SwapBuffers of course...
