Hi Paul: I used your script to create a sample movie. It won't play on my zaurus at all... :-( mplayer dies with vo_pxa: could not open /dev/fb2: 13 I've checked and /proc/fb has rw perms... This thread seems inconclusive.... http://www.mail-archive.com/[EMAIL PROTECTED]/msg00261.html Do I need to rebuild my kernel to include the various pxa_fb* modules? Or redo the avi to 320x240? Or rotate it? Anyway, on a positive note, sound works. :-) --Yan _______________________________________________ Angstrom-distro-users mailing list Angstrom-distro-users@linuxtogo.org http://lists.linuxtogo.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/angstrom-distro-users
