Hi there!

I am running Slack 10.0. I managed it to make Xine play all fromats I want (mpeg, DivX, XviD, DVD, Quicktime, Windowsmedia, Realmedia) and even got the Mplayer-plugin for mozilla and firefox to work. Very nice...

Now, I recompiled the Kernel I am using (2.4.26) because I run it on my Laptop and I wanted ACPI-support. I just had a little Problem with the Sound, but a reinstall of alsa worked again. For compiling the kernel I used the .config that Slack put into my /boot-driectory after install. Just added ACPI ...

Now, when I want to play a video, no matter what format, I get a black box where the video should be and I just hear the sound. That's in xine. In Mozilla and firefox I do not even get sound, only as long as I switch the tab a long as the video is caching and do not switch back to the tab runnin the videoplugin. When I switch to that tab-> No vid, no sound.

So I booted the original kernel 2.4.26 from Slack's installation ... everything worked fine.

I have absolutly no idea why that is, ... specially because I think it ran under the new compiled kernel a week ago ... not 100% sure, but I think so ... didn'tt change a thing since that time.

So, does someone know, where that might come from? Sounds strange, eh?

Any help is welcome!

Thanks, Sascha

That is odd.
It sounds like something to do with a video or sound driver, though. What sort of video card do you have and are you using the correct drivers?

Hi there!

Not sure if I got you right ... but I my notebook has a ATI Radeon 9000 Mobility.
I have the ATI-Drivers installed and the work correctly... as far you can say so with a card from ATI ...
