IIRC the WiKi entry was written pre 1.2.5

Can you send me the new ebuild and all files needed (all patches)? I
will include it into the gentoo ebuild tarball. Ah, I just saw your
second mail. I will add it to the ebuilds later later.

It works because you compiled it yourself. The problem with the DXR3
is that if you use the runtime, you try to add a self made libsdl into
a runtime build by Rob with a different layout. Not using the runtime
and build everything yourself will always work. That's why I love
Gentoo.

Good to know. I added dxr3 support to fbxine without much testing (I
have a DXR3, but I only use it for digital audio out).

I know. I have a new ebuild here and will update the old ones. The new
ebuild will install Freevo directly into your system (freevo is
/usr/bin/freevo, Python code in /usr/lib/python2.2/site-packes/freevo
and all other files in /usr/share/freevo.

I still recommend SuSE or RedHat to new users, but with Gentoo
building everything yourself, you get what you want.
