The most annoying thing is the ENV PATH (…) or MANPATH (…) that are never saved. Everytime I restart my system, I have to rewrite setenv PATH /usr/nekoware… and setenv MANPATH /usr/nekoware… even if I'm in ROOT mode.

Did you put those commands in either your profile or cshrc file, or just type them into the shell?  

If you just type them at the command prompt, they won't be saved and will need to be re-entered in every new shell window.

If you put those commands in /etc/cshrc, they'll be applied to every (csh) shell session started by every user (root or not).

If you put them in .cshrc in your user's (or root's) home directory, then they'll be used for every shell session started by that user.

I do not recommend putting them in /etc/profile or a user's .profile since those files are also used by other shells (e.g. bash, if it is installed) that need different syntax to set environment variables.

Thanks jpstewart :-)

Yesterday evening, I've read the "environment variables"(p97) section of a SGI PDF manual I found on the web called : IRIX Admin: System Configuration and Operation (DOC 007-2859-001)

Everything about  .login .cshrc . profile (in etc/ or in user's home) is explained.

So I add in my .cshrc :

Code:

#more PATH
setenv PATH /myPath1:/myPath2:$PATH

#more MANPATH
setenv MANPATH /myManPath1:/myManPath2

And naturaly, it works perfectly.

Now, according to you, it's more convenient to modify /etc/cshrc that will be applied for every users instead of modify all $HOME /.cshrc of all users …

About MPlayer :
I going to do the same for MPlayer : instead of modifying every /.mplayer/config or gui.conf, I've made a backup of /usr/nekoware/etc/mplayer/mplayer.conf and I modify it to apply one time my setup for all my users accounts.

MKV files usually use H.264. this encoding does not work well on a SGI. Our CPUs are too slow to use the fallback code since there is no assembler version of these instructions

That's what I tought about MKV … nevermind, I don't have many MKV.

Is anyone have remarke that screen saver parameters are disable and never re-enable after using MPlayer ? They are even disable if your turn off "stop XscreenSaver"…

get MPlayer 1.1.1, its gziped.  Once you have it installed do:

Code:

mplayer file.mkv -vo gl_nosw

see if that performs any better

I did a more recent MPlayer release and put the binary up on Nekochan in a thread that's probably gone now...  

I never put the patches up but I have them on my Octane...  I'm getting back into the game and when I get the machine spun up I'll post what I have.  The machine is crashing after a few minutes of uptime and I'm trying to diagnose the problem...

I meant to get this out to Nekochan like 3 years ago...

You'll need the following from Nekoware BETA to build this:

neko_libdca-0.0.5.tardist
neko_libdvdcss-1.2.9-r1.tardist
neko_libdvdnav-4.2.1-r1.tardist
neko_libdvdread-4.2.1-r1.tardist
neko_x264-0.142.tardist

Plus the usual sundries.
