Hello everybody, I want to use xine/mplayer or watever movie reader on my laptop, and can't get it work.
The reader (xine) effectively reads the avi file. The sound is ok, the CPU is 40% used but the video view is like bad synchronized : it's like if several frames were displayed in different places and the result is like a puzzle (Quite hard to describe ; I hope this is clear ...). It's like if the sync was bad. I tried xine-check, but everything seems all rignt (result below). I also tried to searsh google, but didn't find anything... My debian is a Woody CDrom based. The video ship is a Trident CyberbladeAi1 and is fully supported with XFree 4.1 . It is properly configured and glxgears works. Mtrr is activated. The kernel is a home-compiled 2.4.19 . I hope that this clear enough as I realy searched a lot and don't even know what/where to look for. Thank you, Thierry.

[ good ] you're using Linux, doing specific tests [ good ] looks like you have a /proc filesystem mounted. [ good ] You seem to have a reasonable kernel version (2.4.19) [ good ] intel compatible processor, checking MTRR support [ good ] you have MTRR support and there are some ranges set. [ good ] found the player at /usr/bin/xine [ good ] /usr/bin/xine is in your PATH [ good ] found /usr/bin/xine-config in your PATH [ good ] plugin directory /usr/lib/xine/plugins exists. [ good ] found input plugins [ good ] found demux plugins [ good ] found decoder plugins [ good ] found video_out plugins [ good ] found audio_out plugins [ good ] skin directory /usr/share/xine/skins exists. [ good ] found logo in /usr/share/xine/skins [ good ] I even found some skins. [ good ] /dev/cdrom points to /dev/hdc [ hint ] /dev/dvd is /dev/dvd, not a DVD device /dev/dvd is the default device that xine uses for playing DVDs. You could make your life easier by creating a symlink named /dev/dvd pointing to your DVD device (something like /dev/scd0 or /dev/hdc). If your DVD-ROM device is /dev/hdb (slave ATAPI device on primary bus), rm /dev/dvd ln -s hdb /dev/dvd typed as root will give you the symlink. Alternatively, you can configure xine to use the real device directly, using the setup dialog within xine, but I can't check your DMA settings in that case... press <enter> to continue... [ good ] found xvinfo: X-Video Extension version 2.2 [ good ] your Xv extension supports YUV overlays (improves MPEG performance) [ good ] your Xv extension supports packed YUV overlays [ good ] Xv ports: RV15 RV16 YV12 YUY2 [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ -- Thierry Benita +33 6 03 45 33 50 [EMAIL PROTECTED]
