Following some useful pointers last week I have now managed to get from 2.6.9 to 2.6.11rc5 and my panics seem to be a thing of the past, but now mplayer no longer works. I updated my scripts to use the now-renamed frontends and that all seems fine, but when I start playback with mplayer I get a brief black screen and then live video returns. However, I can see get_percent_pos messages scroll past and hear the cd drive spinning. Yes, I do have mpegpes compiled in and I did recompile mplayer just in case. Any suggestions? ====================== Disclaimer ======================= The information in this message is confidential and is intended solely for the addressee.
