I downloaded and have been playing with several trying to get them to
work including xine and mplayer...
at the moment I'm stumped with getting mplayer by the following:
...
VIDEO: [IV50] 320x240 24bpp 30.00 fps 475.7 kbps (58.1 kbyte/s)
[V] filefmt:3 fourcc:0x30355649 size:320x240 fps:30.00 ftime:=0.0333
Detected audio codec: [pcm] drv:2 (Uncompressed PCM)
AUDIO: srate=11025 chans=1 bps=1 sfmt=0x8 ratio: 11025->11025
Detected video codec: [indeo5] drv:2 prio:0 (Intel Indeo 5)
Requested video codec family [indeo5] (vfm=2) not available (enable it
at compile time!)
FATAL: Couldn't initialize video codec :(
Reading the FAQ I find that for my Matrox 400 vidio card I need to make
and load a kernal mod specific to my card... While doing that it
complained about a kernal version mismatch (because I am running SMP and
the current source tree is for the non SMP version)...
I'll have to put this down for a few days to finish up some work but it
is something I would really like to have up and running so give me a few
days to a week and I'll plow back in.
As a further note. I have built probably a dozen or so different
kernals, but when I went to recompile RH's source tree (unmodified no
less) the kernal panics in the middle of the boot sequence... That is
still one of the things on my todo-list as I really want to clean up the
stock kernal.
