On the 5.3 box, they worked just fine. On the 5.4 box, they don't display any video. Instead, they display a black and red checkerboard. I get the same behavior from xine and plaympeg, so I presume that there is some common library they use that is causing this problem, but the only video stuff that the two ports have in common according to "make all-depends-list" is X. Both systems running X.org. The 5.3 system had an old nvidea card in it (Diamond 550, I think). The 5.4 system has on-board SiS video. Searching google, the FreeBSD bugs database - for bugs with xine and plaympeg - and the FreeBSD web site all turned up nothing. I'm sort of at a loss as to how to go about debugging this problem. Any clues on things to try to figure out what's busted would be greatly appreciated.
