I just installed 5.4 and was really amazed at how well put-together it was compared to 5.3. Little things like recognizing ISO-8859-1 is in use on the console and using + - and | for boxes, and the wonderful preconfiguration for most of GNOME really impressed me. One problem I've had though is with Totem. Actually, I've had a few problem= s. First of all, it can't seem to find any optical drives. The drop-down box is greyed out. It looks from reading older list postings that I'll need to use the SCSI mode CD driver to make this work in FreeBSD. Is that right? Second of all, I get weird random bugginess. When I play more than one song in Totem, it freezes five seconds into the second song. The same thing happens if I'm repeating one song. Also, sometimes it seems to corrupt video memory; I have to do a cold reboot to get anything higher than 640x480 afterward, otherwise I just get a black screen that wont fix itself when I switch to a virtual console, and I have to reboot. The first time this happened I freaked, thought I broke my LCD. If anyone has any suggestions that'd be great. I'm gonna try to find some other advice on totem with gstreamer online. Thanks.
