So now it time to tune it up and make it scream. Beyond kernel configs and installing all the toys, I really want to get some things tightened up. I have on board sound and while it plays back with no problem the quality is not there. Distortion at semi high volumes and overall mediocre performance. I am assuming the latest VIA drivers are installed? Is this something that I should start looking at? Okay so #2 I have the ATI Rage 128 AGP video card. again it's performing just fine expect I can't seem to get 32 bit color out of it. I am up to 24 before it complains. The only reason I expect 32 is because I see that it's being done in other machines. I tried playing back a mpg file with the KDE installed media player and the performance was horrible. Any ideas on what a high performance multimedia player might be? Thanks!!! To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-multimedia" in the body of the message
