I upgraded my OS as well as xine and I agree -- it is much improved. I theorize that I could watch "Three Kings" or "Dr Strangelove [...]" very comfortably if I spooled them to my HD first. In fact, in full-screen, top would report a load average between 0.25 and 1.0 and an idleness of about %40. With a brilliant picture and clear sound with no delay, I'd be very impressed. (details follow) At the risk of sounding fervently aligned, my machine also has USB Ethernet and ADSL. I would say that FBSD is a very nice consumer OS. If only we could end this nonsense of speaking in tongues and fumbling around in the dark for fear of prosecution (persecution?). --Mat OS: Binaries and kernel source are from ftp://current.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD/snapshots/i386/pub/FreeBSD/snapshots/i386/5.0-20010125-CURRENT/ kernel: a custom compile based on GENERIC with SMP, Netgraph, USER_LDT and ATA_ENABLE_ATAPI_DMA and less INET6, gif, faith, NICs, msdos, nfs, cd9660 -the GENERIC kernel now contains sounds by default! -I have to keep PNP OS -> NO in my bios or else no sound /boot/loader.conf userconfig_script_load="YES" ng_pppoe_load="YES" agp_load="YES" if_ed_load="YES" - usb ethernet doesn't seem to like to be a modules at the moment, hence I leave it static in the kernel /etc/sysctl.conf kern.ipc.shmmax=67108864 kern.ipc.shmall=32768 - as per xine FAQ Hardware: bash-2.03$ dmesg | egrep '(apic|pcib0|acd|sbc|pcm|ed0|cue)' cpu0 (BSP): apic id: 0, version: 0x00040011, at 0xfee00000 cpu1 (AP): apic id: 1, version: 0x00040011, at 0xfee00000 io0 (APIC): apic id: 2, version: 0x00170011, at 0xfec00000 pcib0: at pcibus 0 on motherboard pci0: on pcib0 cue0: CATC CATC Netmate2 Ethernet Adaptor , rev 1.00/2.20, addr 2 cue0: Ethernet address: 00:10:4c:11:19:ce ed0: port 0xd400-0xd41f irq 10 at device 9.0 on pci0 ed0: address 00:00:e8:61:a3:fb, type NE2000 (16 bit) sbc0: at port 0x220-0x22f,0x330-0x331,0x388-0x38b irq 5 drq 1,3 on isa0 pcm1: on sbc0 cue0 XXX: driver didn't initialize queue mtx ed0 XXX: driver didn't initialize queue mtx acd0: DVD-ROM at ata1-master using UDMA33 bash-2.03$ xdpyinfo | egrep 'r r|XV|n #|w:|ime' vendor release number: 4002 XVideo screen #0: dimensions: 1600x1200 pixels (339x254 millimeters) depth of root window: 16 planes bash-2.03$ grep Chipset /var/log/XFree86.0.log (--) Chipset mgag400 found (--) MGA(0): Chipset: "mgag400" bash-2.03$ kldstat Id Refs Address Size Name 1 16 0xc0100000 2f2f08 kernel 2 1 0xc03f3000 741c ng_pppoe.ko 3 1 0xc03fb000 c374 agp.ko 4 1 0xc0408000 b518 if_ed.ko 5 1 0xc1444000 4000 if_tun.ko 6 1 0xc144c000 4000 ng_ether.ko 7 1 0xc1451000 4000 ng_socket.ko 8 1 0xc1476000 12000 linux.ko 9 1 0xc14da000 d000 msdos.ko 10 1 0xc1504000 9000 cd9660.ko bash-2.03$ pkg_info | egrep 'XFree86-4|xine' XFree86-4.0.2_5 X11R6.4/XFree86 core distribution (complete) xine-0.3.6_3 A MPEG-1 and MPEG-2 player - XFree86-4.0.2_5 was a binairy install from ftp://ftp.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD/ports/packages/All/ it was built on Jan 11/01, I think. - xine was built of of the ports, I think I had to patch it to handle the 'cc -pthread' -> 'cc -lc_r' issue. -- Mathew Kanner Sys Admin at large Obtuse quote: He [not me] understands: "This field of perception is void of perception of man." -- The Quintessence of Buddhism To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-multimedia" in the body of the message
