afterwards you can encode with "mencode", which is part of: neko_mplayer-1.0rc1.tardist or use the builtin codecs, which are quite old.

RDP will run just fine :-)

It's a nice machine - it has the formfactor of these new netbooks. but consider: getting spare parts will become harder for old mac notebooks - if it breaks.

Must be for the newer machines like Fuel or Tezro - it has no XIO connector, but PCIe (or PCI-X?).

I see that a lot of users are using big and fast hard-drives in their O2s. So the O2 is capable of cooling them sufficiently at last. (which I did not expect)

Yes, the modules from Kingston and SGI are the double stacked ones, which are comparatively robust.
The ICs on the DATARAM modules look like those for notebooks, they are soldered side by side via ball grid array.

Seems like they're indeed very delicate.

Wrote on the subject of errors after patches at March 24, 2010, 10:53 a.m...
I guess it has something to do with the new kernel, that has been compiled after installing the newest IRIX patches. Starting Quake3, I get the following error:

Code:
Octane2 2% ioquake3
ioq3 1.35_SVN1323M irix-mips Apr 19 2008
Zone data failed to allocate 24 megs
recursive error after: Zone data failed to allocate 24 megs
recursive error after: Zone data failed to allocate 24 megs


It's Quake3 Version: 1.35 SVN 1323 from Nekoware.

Strange.. Perhaps one of you know what's this about....

update:
seems like IRIX does not like nekoware any longer (all the commercial stuff runs..)
Code:
Octane2 1% abiword
Segmentation fault (core dumped)
Octane2 2% audacity

I downgraded to fontconfig 2.3.2 and the apps start again w/o core dumping.
But now I've got such squares instead of characters. fontconfig is still messed up - got to repair that.

So Fontconfig2.8 of nekoware_beta is broken and should be removed from distribution.

not yet - I simply deinstalled all beta nekoware and the problems vanished - the characters are now displayed correctly.

@PymbleSoftware: I will spend some time on this topic - it's very interesting, and there are still some unsolved problems.

@hamei: The problem is: what caused the problems first? Unfortunately I made an "unhappy patchday": updating Nekoware and installing SGI patches all at once together. rather doing it one after one and checking for errors.

The downgrade to fontconfig 2.3.2 resolves the problems with nekoware that depends on it, but ioquake3 and fgfs(flightgear) still panic.
dbx says: libc from sgi0007202 causes it. After removal of this patch, dbx says "syssgi.s" is the cause. but such a file does not exists. Unfortunately, even after uninstalling all patches, this error persists.
Perhaps I have to invoke a recompiling of the kernel, since removing the patches in swmgr did not revert the kernel rebuild that took place after installing them.

IRIX Patch 7235: IRIX ntp 4.1.1 patch 08-Mar-2010
IRIX Patch 7234: named fix for IRIX 6.5.[28..30] 06-Nov-2009
IRIX Patch 7233: networking updates for 6.5.30 15-Oct-2009
IRIX Patch 7232: OpenSSH security patch 03-Aug-2009
IRIX Patch 7217: OpenSSL security patch 09-Sep-2008
IRIX Patch 7207: TimeZone processing change and 2007 zonefiles update 16-Jan-2008

were the installed ones.

Hehe :-D

Well, they somehow made my system behave strange - when logging in for example, it takes a minute for the desktop-icons to appear... and flightgear does not want any longer...

If this "search-engine-gfx-algorithm" really works and this is not a fake, then the guys have a code that is worth more than millions.

Enjoy!
