infinityOS - The Media Distribution
vuzedome:
A little bit more info regarding regarding playback would be really nice, like how hardware decoding is achieved and its hardware limitations.

To enable Nvidia 3D acceleration in infinityOS, first update your package list by entering the following into the terminal:
------------
sudo aptitude update
------------
Restart your computer. Once you're at the desktop, install the drivers by typing in the following command into the terminal:
--------------
sudo jockey-gtk
--------------
After you've restarted, type the following into the terminal:
--------------
sudo nvidia-settings
--------------
Enable every option refering to V-Blank or V-Sync. I also recommend overriding the default antialiasing to 4x. This applies to both kinds.
Close the Nvidia settings.
Type the following into the terminal to commit your settings into the xorg.conf file:
-------------
sudo nvidia-xconfig
-------------
Restart your computer. Your graphics card is now set up to be pretty .

PS If you have a Intel graphics card, 3D acceleration should be enabled by default (though I still recommend running "driconf" to enable V-Sync). ATI cards are officially unsupported as their Linux drivers are sub-par (though I'm not going to stop you from installing the drivers on your own. I just can not help you.).
-------------
A Geforce 8400 or greater (sorry Nvidia only) is needed for the hardware H.264 acceleration. To enable it, first enable the 3D acceleration using the instructions above.
Then in SMPlayer, change the video output method to "vdpau". Play a video (any video) to see if it works.

Was thinking of giving it a try, but since ATI is not supported, gave up on the idea...
I'm aware how bad ATI drivers for Linux are >_>
Regarding topic - Don't double post!

I'm uncomfortable with you calling it fooOS if it isn't your own OS.
I'm wary of you saying that it follows the unix philosophy well if you based it off of Ubuntu.
Sourceforge reeks of 2005, CVS, and people who think the internet is still written in Perl CGI. Anyone left using Subversion has moved to Google Code, and the various DVCS groups each have their own preferred project sites*.
* The best being, of course, GitHub.

Ya I'm only using Sourceforge for the download and web server as they give me 2GB of space (I think Google Code offers only 100MB). Launchpad is where all the bug tracking, question answering, and development will be. Hence, I will be using Bazaar, a much more modern version control system then CVS or Subversion.
Additionally, Launchpad gives me the option of having my own repositories and to copy packages easily off of others. This will be a big part of a yet-to-be announced feature.
About the name. I really only called it that cuz it sounds pretty (and the name Linux intimidates people). As you can see on Sourceforge and Launchpad, my logo is a customized version of Tux. I fully acknowledge my distribution being based on the work of 1000s of others.
