The collected works of zmttoxics - Page 4

Probably just age.

I would stay away from ZFS on old hardware unless you have lots of ram - it can be quite the pig.

I like the Onyx. Very mean looking. Also very big and big on power and not much use for one, but I would still let it hang out in my house.

How are you liking FF14? Pretty awesome? I downloaded the beta but haven't installed it yet.

I played FFXI for a while, and I though I didn't get far (level 30), I really enjoyed my character so I am going to resub with 11 and attempt to import it. Those graphics are fancy though, I wonder how my character will look...

Well, I went through a lot of working tying my ffxi account to my ffxiv account and getting it all linked to find no benefit at all. Not sure what happened there, but maybe its a release only thing. I made a new character on your server. I didn't quite get the Orange to Red server markings, but all of them had the same symbols so I just picked your server (Wutai). My characters name is Billaba Dia and it looks pretty similar to the old Billaba.

Now is it just me or is this game an excuse to buy a 2010 Mac Pro fully loaded? Damn its laggy at 1920x1200 on my gaming rig (Phenom 9950BE, ATI 5830). I can't tell if its server lag or not. It seems like its hardware related, I bumped it down to high settings on 1680x1050 (1920x1080 does not look right on this HP 25.5" lcd) and that helped a lot but I still get lag in the more popular areas. My server tick icon goes from green to yellow though in those areas, so it could be my crappy DSL at that point. I overclocked my cpu to almost 3GHz from 2.6 and bumped up my gpu 100mhz and saw no performance difference in the game though.

I hope a lot of it is because of the beta nature of the whole (the game being beta, and ati not having support for the game in the drivers).

I am hoping some driver optimization will save the day...

Oooh, I build a machine with 4 of those disks in it. They are surprisingly heavy.

Yeah, they are the next best thing and offer a ton of space. I was considering changing my config to 1x150gb velociraptor as boot and the a 1 or 2TB Black for storage.

I didn't pick it up, when I do I will definitely be switching servers though. My connection to Wutai was full flame so I take it that was bad as it was almost unbearable.

I have a couple iPhones, the girlfriend has an iPhone, I have an MBP, she has small 11" notebook (its not an atom so I guess its not a netbook). We rarely even use the kitchen computer these days because of that so I just can't justify an iPad yet. Now, if there wasn't 3 iPhones between 2 people, I might consider it as it is a solid device.

The nevada beta turned free osol turned dead is back again as Solaris 11 Express.

Let me know if you got gui working from the text install before I do. So far I am not happy at all.

Edit: Screw it. After getting pkg to install everything I could find for the desktop, Xorg -configure refused to work, and attempting to launch gdm hangs. I am going download the live cd and start over... Way to go Horacle.

Cannot find driver for framebuffer.
Any ideas?
And i'm a complete Solaris noob so keep it simple,please.

Oh yeah, Blade 2000 and Creator3d (ffb2+).

I was unsuccessful in my attempt to install gui on top of text install. I used the pkg command to search and install everything desktop related but could not get X to start. This was in a VM of course, so I was able to just start over with the x86 live cd and do a gui install.

I am not overly skilled with the express builds / open solaris, but last I heard a lot of the creative 3d based cards (like the xvr1200) wouldn't be supported in open solaris. So you may be at a loss.

pkgadd -d /path/to/pkg

However, I suspect there will be other packages as dependencies and not just the one with CDE in the name.

Solaris 11: breaking compatibility and making people cry.

/me is not impressed.

That's outrageous, I bet they weren't sold with ‘low-end’ pricing.

Don't get all excited. He meant low end of their product spectrum. As in, the low end mac of Apples line up would be the MacBook or the Mac Mini. Doesn't mean they suck, Apple just sells other better and more expensive things.

x86_64 != IA64

Also, the prism is apparently a very special beast with dual AGP controllers in some cases which is creating its own kind of trouble.

Did you have the special effects on? I have a feeling Osol / S11X still don't have the best video performance. I haven't run it on a physical machine yet so I can't compare...

I use ZTerm on my Macs, it does pretty good. I had to download the drivers for my adapter off the apple website though.

Waiting for Playbook still. I love me some QNX.

That said, if the playbook with a $800 price tag for no reason, I will probably get an iPad2.

Edit: saw I missed a few words in there... haha
