MPlayer 1.0rc1 + XvMC Nov 2006

[disciple]

At least two packages of RC2 work for me. But this

Tried both. Neither work. They show 2 windows(1 black and 1 either purple or white) and lock up my desktop. Have to crtl-alt-backspace to get out and re-xwin to get my desktop back.

sounds like the problem that is common when starting Mplayer from the menu. What happens if you start it from Rox or a terminal?

Do the LIRC modules in

LIRC-0.8.1modules-k2.6.18.1.pup

work for Puppy 4.0? From what I've found, Puppy 2.16 was the last one to use the 2.6.18 kernel. For newer puppies, do we need LIRC modules compiled for the 2.6.21 kernel? If so, are those available anywhere?

Thanks.
