X 4.3 isn't a panacea: http://bugs.debian.org/200587 I'm running X 4.3 and totem still doesn't work. I need to either downgrade X or patch X 4.3, but I have the patience for neither and so I use mplayer instead. (I tried downgrading just libXi, but that made X crash.) -- Evan Martin [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://neugierig.org -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
