CPU: K6-III/450 MB: ASUS P5A RAM: 512 MB PC100/133 (2 x 256 MB DIMM) Kernel: kernel-package-2.4.20-k6 Debian/GNU Linux: Sarge DVD player: 16x generic
Video card 1: Matrox G400 dual head, 16 MB, AGP, 1 display Video card 2: ATI Rage XL, 8 MB, PCI, 1 display (I added the 2nd card so that the G400 would have 16 MB available for its display.) The Matrox is now loading DRI, I'm not aware of any issues. When I play DVDs on Xine (installed from Sarge), the sound is OK but the video stalls & stops, many freezes, unwatchable. When I play DVDs with MPlayer (compiled with gcc-3.2 on my box), it quickly displays an error telling me that my system is too slow, then about 60 seconds it returns an error saying that there are too many video frames in the buffer and the sound cuts out. Picture is great although I suspect that its playing the video too slowly. Any advice appreciated.
