amdpcsdb customizing

[Vighy]

I appreciate the whole persistent config idea, but I do have to question whether the database approach may be completely against the Linux philosophy of KISS. I think plain-text human-readable config files are great for keeping things configurable and under the user's control. It's easier to diagnose problems that way, too. I guess this makes sense for a proprietary driver setup.

have you read it?

data-base is used in a generic meaning... base that holds data

it's just a plain file with options and values...

and let's say.... if you think linux has really the KISS philosophy... ubuntu is not linux

Ah. Thank you for the correction Vighy. I see the options and values, but I also see a whole slew of numbers in there that don't mean a thing to me. At any rate, I think it makes sense to keep the proprietary driver's settings out of xorg.conf.

As for Ubuntu... well, it does carry the GNU/Linux kernel, and all the applications that run on it, but as far as the philosophy of user control and simplicity is concerned, I can't say I agree with the Ubuntu way of doing things. But, to each his own, I guess.

This is just one line !!!
But my god, that is very very spooky looking indeed.
I mean xorg.conf my be a pain to setup, but at least its structured cleanly and human-readable. I can't count the times I needed to go in there and fix something, but at least I could do so, from a text console.
But this database is just a mess. Oh wait, were supposed to use amdccccccccccc...isn't it great to have such a wonderful tool around?!
*Irony off*, but seriously amdccc sucks, under linux as much as under windows.

The opensource world definitely should NOT follow in those kind of footsteps when designing their sollution. IMO

If you don't like amdccc, feel free to use aticonfig. It has command line interface, so, it can be used from console.

Consider it like a "mysql" client but to amdpcsdb database.
