<br>working, or not having mplayer use your 3d acceleration. I don't know what<br>the commands for xine are, but for mplayer I could "mplayer -vo 3dfx<br>movie.mpg" to natively use my voodoo 5 (oh how i miss it) or "mplayer -vo
<br>gl movie.mpg" to use X's opengl rendering with my card. 512 ram should be<br>enough. But more never hurts. unless you cut yourself while opening the<br>packaging.<br><br>-Josh<br><br>> Happy thanksgivings to one and all!...
