I'm stuck. Mplayer's performance is worse on this laptop than it is on my Toshiba running with a half-speed processor. I have attempted all the suggestions I can find re: getting the performance. The video is slow - so it lags the audio by quite a bit. I keep getting "Your processor is too slow..." stuff. What to do? I built mplayer from ports (not package). mplayer-1.0.r20100117_1 My computer is an HP Pavilion dv4 xorg.conf is set up to run the vesa driver. That's how X -configure set it up. I have no idea what graphics device is actually on this machine. dmesg shows: Copyright (c) 1992-2010 The FreeBSD Project.

"I put down a spider," he said, wondering why the man didn't see; in the beam of yellow light the spider bloated up larger than life. "So it could get away."
