<P><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Arial">Hello - </FONT>
<BR>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Arial">I have a laptop of the following specs</FONT>
</P>
<P><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Arial">1.1ghz (Mobile Duron AMD)</FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Arial">256meg Ram</FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Arial">14" TFT Screen</FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Arial">S3 TwisterK card - XFree86's savage driver is the only one that works</FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Arial">Kernel 2.4.20</FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Arial">Debian Unstable</FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Arial">KDE 3.1</FONT>
</P>
<P><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Arial">Hope that is all the specs you require before I ask my question…..</FONT>
</P>
<P><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Arial">I would consider this machine to be powerful enough to play any divx file, however Mplayer keeps telling me my machine is too slow to playback the file.</FONT></P>
<P><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Arial">Kaboddle and xine (yugh) seems to have no issues - however I want to use Mplayer!</FONT>
</P>
<P><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Arial">I have made all the changes Mplayer tells me to make, Cache 8024 , Auto sync of 30 blah blah - </FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Arial">These - tested 3 of them - movies are playing directly from the HDD - not a smb mount or CDROM and I still have issues or syncing problems of various speeds , when I fast forward or bring up the gui it starts to slow down, and I get the machine too slow error - as soon as I pause it and restart it seems to come right again for a while.</FONT></P>
<P><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Arial">Not 100% sure what I am doing wrong to have these issues - I have tried to change the Video Codec's to no avail.. I have tried to change the -vo output.</FONT></P>
<P><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Arial">X11 is the only one that gives me full screen.. Could anyone please advise on anything that may help?</FONT>
</P>
<P><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Arial">Thanks in advance..</FONT>
