It worked ! Totem, flash and mpg123 works fine. VLC stopped working, but after switching the output module to OSS, even that came up ! Now to install fbsd on the laptop! If only the builtin wireless worked, but I can make do with USB wifi for now Thanks and regards Gautham _______________________________________________ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-questions-unsubscr...@freebsd.org"
