They're both in ports/graphics, too. They're opensource (i.e. no linux binaries necessary), and they even uses hardware scaling through either the xvideo extension or SDL (in ports, too), so requiring little CPU, even for fullscreen playback. (Personally I prefer mplayer. YMMV.) > root@aldan:~ (220) ps -alwwx | grep 68256 > 105 68256 1 0 96 0 0 0 - Z p1 0:00,00 (mtvp) This might be a strange idea, but have you tried to "kill -CHLD 1"? This wouldn't be a real solution, of course.
