[linrad] Re: [Was: Re: 96000 Hz sampling from stock laptop] SVGALIB

[W6WO <charter.net; ron-skelton@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

The Dell Inspiron 8000 laptop uses an ATI Mobility M4 video chip set 
which I was told has some proprietary characteristics.  The audio 
uses an ESS Technology Maesstro-3i. I had no luck with either Linrad 
or a QRSS program called GLFER , this was about 18 months ago.  I am 
running Mandrake 9.1.

No problems with similar programs running under Windows so I am very 
grateful for Winrad.
