In Modules section make sure you 'Load "v4l"' Then look in /var/log/XFree86.x.log (where x is 0 for :0, etc) for Xvideo, e.g.: (II) Loading extension XVideo (II) Loading extension XVideo-MotionCompensation > > 2. make sure your player uses it (e.g. xine defaults to the last one, > > you have to specify the new one, first time) > Um... hmmmm... E.g. for xine start it with -V Xv (only once, it will remember next time) Don't know about ogle, Xshm is very cpu intensive, avoid it if you can. > > 3.

Laptop hibernation with Linux is very hairy at the moment. It is very maker/model dependent. Look e.g. at http://www.linux-laptop.net/ and see what you can find. Suspend is one thing, hibernation is another. AFAIK ACPI is not supported by Linux, only the old APM. > ATM tho the hardware screen blanking blanks the screen when dvd's are playing, > so I have to move the mouse every 10 minutes or whatever. Do you know how to disable >this? This is the "screen saver", there are 3 layers you have to check: 1. bios settings 2. X settings, look for: Option "BlankTime" Option "StandbyTime" Option "SuspendTime" Option "OffTime" See "man XF86Config" 3. window manager settings for DPMI & screen saver Cheers, -- Ryurick M.
