Well, using openSuSE these days (since they were devoured by the Novell behemoth) more-or-less requires hand-building anything to do with multimedia, as they are clearly terrified of someone suing them if they provide usable tools. A great shame as it remains an excellent distro in every other way, it must cause huge confusion for newbies. It's high time I had another play with Slackware, so I'll give it a whiz. I'll report back to this thread in case anyone else has similar issues. I've an unused DVD for 10.2 but 11.0 has been around for a while now, it's downloading as I type. I hope the installer is a bit more friendly than the one I remember from my last foray into the Slackware jungle ;-) Would still be nice to know if mplayerprobe is used by anyone else - and whether or not it works as it does for Phil...
