I didn't notice anything more, as the first thing I tried to do was play a DVD. And ... Totem is a movie player. The standard medium for movies these days is a DVD. Totem (with GST backend) doesn't play DVD's. Perhaps I shouldn't use words like "more stable", and instead use something like "not broken" when trying to get a response to the question (which you avoided doing). Isn't the GST backend being broken enough to recommend a backend that isn't? -- Randy rmlscsi: [bogomips 1003.23] [GNU ld version 2.16.1] [gcc (GCC) 4.0.3] [GNU C Library stable release version 2.3.6] [Linux 2.6.14.3 i686] 08:21:00 up 6 days, 8:23, 1 user, load average: 0.40, 0.38, 0.29 -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/blfs-dev FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/blfs/faq.html Unsubscribe: See the above information page
