The sound is really choppy too. Well, a spot more googling revelaed that this happens too under Linux for some folks. It was said to be a bug in the accellerated X driver for ATI chipsets. I upgraded X to 4.4 and now all is well. The sound is OK for vlc when I use it with artsdsp but everything is a touch mangled when I put it in full screen mode. Will keep you all posted. Thought - this mailing list seems awful quiet. Does this mean that most folks have little trouble using FreeBSD on their laptops or that not many people try it? It hasn't been plain sailing so far compared to desktops for me and I've been using FreeBSD for years & years. -- Irvine
