Honestly, I doubt you even need or want 32 bit color, 24 bit color is often faster. In fact, I generally leave my display at 16 bit color, because I can't tell the differece and it does run somewhat faster. > I tried playing back a mpg file with the KDE installed > media player and the performance was horrible.

Also, I'd reccomend upgrading to XFree 4 if you are still using XFree 3.3.6. XFree 4 is faster for day to day work than XFree 3, and it supports almost as many cards as XFree 3 does (and the unsupported ones are usually ancient). If you can't get Xvideo working, you might want to do a google search for the GATOS project. They can help you with your ATI card. -- \ |_ _|__ __|_ \ __| Jason Andresen jandrese@mitre.org |\/ | | | / _| Network and Distributed Systems Engineer _| _|___| _| _|_\___| Office: 703-883-7755 To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-multimedia" in the body of the message
