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.
