Did you resolve any audio problems in the process? On a Ubuntu amd64 I've been able to get it to build (required a few extra configure options and packages) and play movies, but it cannot do (output it would seem) audio. Otherwise the system audio works fine. I tried running vlc 0.7 too, per some post on the internet. Cant get it to work. BTW - mplayer was easier to build on this box, but the system locks hard with garbage (same garbage every time) on the screen. maybe I need to remove some capabilities from XF86config? // George -- George Georgalis, systems architect, administrator Linux BSD IXOYE http://galis.org/george/ cell:646-331-2027 mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] -- [email protected] http://www.kernel-panic.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/kplug-list
