Hello Ranger, > To start out I partitioned my 10 GB hard drive with > a 128 MB Swap Partition, a 50 MB Boot and then just
The swap space is a little small, I think. General rule of thumb is that it should be 2-2.5 times the size of your RAM, though when you get up to about 512MB of RAM, I think 1X the amount of RAM should be sufficient. The boot partition is definately way big. Most of the time, I even forgo the boot partition, but if I do create one, I find 15-20MB more than adequate (unless you plan on compiling a lot of kernels and keeping them arounnd :-) ) > bootloader. After I got in I installed freevo ver > 1.3.2pre4, freevo-runtime, freevo-appz, mozilla, I assume you are referring to the RPM's? I run Mandrake 9.1 (for now), but for Freevo, I tend to use the 14MB TGZ file, which is the binary download. > rpm package manager. IceWM in my windows manager. Hrm, I kinda strugging with X myself (I currently run in Frambuffer), but the default window manager (twm) should be adequate; IceWM prolly just adds to the overhead. To those running Freevo under X: what window managers do you use?? > my hardware working except for my sound card, (not > sure what to do here). That's odd; Mandrake is usually *excellent* at detecting and configuring hardware. What sound card do you have? Perhaps you should install and confidure 'sndcfg' (or 'sndconfig'??). It should be included with Mandrake 8.2 . > and looks stupid. When I try to play a video file > it will display the first frame and then it Hrm, very odd. WHat is in your 'freevo.conf' file? > I have enabled mplayer logging and it has shown What do the Freevo logs show? Do a 'tail /var/log/freevo/main.log' and 'tail /var/log/freevo/internal-main.log' right after one of these "freezes", and post the output. > :No such file or directory > can't open '/root/.mplayer/codec.conf': No Such > file or directory > Can't Open input config file > /root/.mplayer/input.config: No such fiel or > directory. These are standard MPlayer error messages, since you prolly don't have a config file in your directory; it's okay though, because MPlayer will use the defauly "system" config file in this case. > Requested audio codec family [mad] (afm=libmad) > not availavle (enable it at compilation) Are you using the MPlayer that comes with Freevo? If so, I find this message *very* odd, since the person who compiles the MPlayer includes quite a lot in there, and IIRC, including 'mad' support. > Xlib: extension "XVideo" missing on display ":0.0". > Sorry, XV not supported by this X11 version/driver > ********** Try with -vo x11 or -vo sdl ************ WHat is in your 'freevo.conf' file for your display? Is it 'xv'? If so, try 'x11'. > freevo config file and found one instance of "xv" > and I deleted it out. It didn't fix anything Which file did you find and delete it in? Please advise.
