I just got Shrike installed on my IBM ThinkPad T23. Before this, I had Psyche, and I was able to eventually get everything that I needed working. This time, however, I'm having trouble with Xine. I got Xine via apt-get/synaptic, with its dependencies. I also grabbed libdvdread, libdvdcss, and libdvdnav, because I thought I needed those as well. Xine handles mpg files fine, but for DVDs, at some point I get this error, which outputs itself in an endless loop when running Xine from the terminal: audio_oss_out: DSP_GETODELAY ioctl():: File descriptor in bad state audio_oss_out: DSP_GETODELAY ioctl():: File descriptor in bad state audio_oss_out: DSP_GETODELAY ioctl():: File descriptor in bad state I have alsa drivers installed as well, but when I run xine with the "-A alsa" parameter, I get this error, also outputted ad infinitum: Obtained 2 stack frames. /usr/lib/libxine.so.1(xine_print_trace+0x28) [0x400d68dc] /usr/lib/libxine.so.1 [0x400c99cd] audio_alsa_out:write:BAD STATE2, state = 0, going to try XRUN ALSA lib pcm_hw.c:466:(snd_pcm_hw_prepare) SNDRV_PCM_IOCTL_PREPARE failed: File descriptor in bad state audio_alsa_out.c:ao_alsa_write:560: assertion `0' failed. audio_alsa_out: xrun: prepare error: File descriptor in bad state Obtained 2 stack frames. /usr/lib/libxine.so.1(xine_print_trace+0x28) [0x400d68dc] /usr/lib/libxine.so.1 [0x400c99cd] audio_alsa_out:write:BAD STATE2, state = 0, going to try XRUN ALSA lib pcm_hw.c:466:(snd_pcm_hw_prepare) SNDRV_PCM_IOCTL_PREPARE failed: File descriptor in bad state audio_alsa_out.c:ao_alsa_write:560: assertion `0' failed. audio_alsa_out: xrun: prepare error: File descriptor in bad state I might also add that in both cases the video appears garbled for a little bit, but then it displays okay. My IBM ThinkPad T23 is a PIII-1ghz with 1GB of RAM, no swap. The hard drive and the dvd-rom both are dma enabled. /dev/dvd has been linked to /dev/hdc. I also have 32-bit I/O support enabled for both devices. Red Hat thinks that the sound is "Intel i810", but according to alsa-mixer it's some variant of Cirrus Logic. The video is a S3 SuperSavage/IX with 16MB, which RH identifies as a S3 Savage/IX. I have the display set at 1024x768@xxxxxx If anyone has any ideas, please let me know. Thanks.
