When I'm only watching the video and nothing else runs, I sometimes I solved many AV sync issues by using SDL audio and video output drivers. However, on my Ultra 10, maybe because of the SLOW ide controller and of the huge windowing system that I use (KDE 3, dual display) it's quite impossible to watch a movie with a human-compliant frame rate (at least on the PGX) ;). With mlib and the Creator board instead I'm able to watch a movie (windowed, not in fullscreen mode) with frame dropping disabled. I do have a SCSI controller, and an external SCSI box for 6 SCA disks (think it's called an UniPack), but the disks are old and their capacity is limited. I think the lack of decent IDE busmastering on the Ultra10 is the main reason for my system being slow as a little snail ;). Now I'm trying to convince my employer to buy a new Sun workstation to replace my x86 PC. I would to run Debian on it (side by side with Solaris), so I am wondering if someone the list might give me some advice on the most Penguin-compatible and valuable workstation to buy (at a reasonable price, of course) ;). Any suggestion is appreciated ;) Bye, Antonello -- Antonello <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> ICQ 8442040-MSN [EMAIL PROTECTED] - phone: ask :P There will be no consolation prize / this time the bone is broken clean no baptism, no reprise / and no sweet taste of victory [Jann Arden]
