I just upgraded to FreeBSD 6.2-STABLE, after running 5.3 for years. My primary reason for upgrading was to take advantage of new features in xine and mplayer, and to get flash functionality out of /usr/ports/www/linux-flashplugin? Maybe I shoulda waited? Now I get "Segmentation fault (core dumped)" when I try to run xine, vlc, or mplayer. Funny thing, though, is that kmplayer (from KDE 3.5.6) works. Only when kmplayer starts up it immediately runs mplayer in a second window (not the kmplayer window) and it runs fine! When I close kmplayer, mplayer closes, too (uh ... duh!). However, I used to be able to use kmplayer's ability to capture an mms:// stream via a web page, and that is now gone. I'm not sure if it is relevant, but hald also crashes with "Segmentation fault (core dumped)" when I run it (on boot or manually) from /usr/local/etc/rc.d/hald Another thing I see is that artsd consumes 90-98% CPU (on dual-core system), yet kde thinks it can't start the sound system (even though sound works from audio cd's and videos played via kmplayer). KDE tries repeatedly to start the sound system, and launches a new artsd process for each try .... I recognize that this is mosly KDE stuff, and much of these rely upon /usr/ports/devel/ffmpeg (rather than /usr/ports/multimedia/ffmpeg), but it only started after upgrading to 6.2-STABLE, so I thought I'd try here first, to see if anyone has similar experience and any pointers. There are no relevant bugs at bugs.freebsd.org, or at bugs.kde.org ... so I'm kinda fishin', I guess :) Clearly this is not critical, nor am I suffering from significantly reduced functionality. But if anyone is of a mind to point me in the right direction, I'd be much obliged. lane
