I have to add that Xine is not working as it use to :s
I can't seem to be able to play anything at normal speed, it always
gives me the error of too much frames are being dropped so I can't watch
any video. I can't seem to be able to use the xv so I'm using the xshm
and it don't work well. The thing is that if I use Knoppix it works well
with xv and I have no problems. What can I do??
I have a Trident Cyberblade 2D/3D video card with 8MB of memory is not
much but it use to be able to play videos in Xine. MPlayer simply uses
all of my system's resources and only way out is a soft-reset :s
