Just guessing: most likely some proprietary video card binary blob that doesn't come with Slackware but comes with the default OS (Android I think). See if you can get it from Ubuntu. Because they are part of Linaro they usually can licence blobs that other distros can't (it's sad though...). -- Ottavio qemu-users · The unofficial mailing list for qemu users: http://tech.groups.yahoo.com/group/qemu-users/ ___ ARMedslack mailing list ARMedslack@lists.armedslack.org http://lists.armedslack.org/mailman/listinfo/armedslack

I'm already using ununtu kernel sources to get a working kernel. I'll surf around ubuntu forums and what more on this then. Another thing I just compiled latest ubuntu 2.6.38-100.1 that states working audio in the headphones but I can't see to get any oudio out of the damn thing anyway Ciao Davide___ ARMedslack mailing list ARMedslack@lists.armedslack.org http://lists.armedslack.org/mailman/listinfo/armedslack

Nowadays video card modules are in xorg not (only) in kernel modules.

I also haveto use -ao null or I get complains about: [AO OSS] Can't set auduo device /dev/dsp ro s16le output OK I have it now ... not sure why it defaults to OSS while my kernel has alsa so this got just the audio part working on the headphones: mplayer -ao alsa -vo null Aha another thing got much better framerate: mplayer -ao alsa -vo fbdev this produces no window around the video output, a horrible info box on the bottom and leaves s mess after video is finished but has acceptable framerate ! Maybe I can set some better defaults in ~/.mplayer/config and not haveto remember this stuff every time :-) This is even better as framerate is ok but it leaves no mess and no info box: mplayer -ao alsa -vo x11 Xine does no better on video playback as it crashes shortly after starting: root@slackware:~# xine This is xine (X11 gui) - a free video player v0.99.5.
