That seems likely. I run Xine on a PII/667 with good results, but I have an ATI All-In-Wonder128 32M AGP card, using the Gatos "ati.2" driver. IIRC, VideoLAN can use several different display methods depending on the capabilities it can discern from the X config; on my MDK 8.1 system (which has no DVD, and Cirrus Logic video), it uses SDL for the video display. -- Bill Mullen 9:19pm, 2002-07-26 ***************************************************************** To unsubscribe from this list, send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the text 'unsubscribe gnhlug' in the message body. *****************************************************************
