Hi all,
I have a laptope witn a pentium III processor a 600 MHz With 128 Mo of memory.

The problem with this computer is that when i want to play divx, the sound is n ot play at the same time with the video. I use Mplayer. I don't understand cause on dreamlinux, divx works perfectly. Maybe i have a problem of configuration but i don't know wich one.

If you've got an idea...

Thank you^^

I use the mplayer in the uci section of mydsl optionals. I copied the config file from the /opt/mplayer... dir in /home/dsl/.mplayer/ and inserted this line in the file config :
framedrop=yes

If your movie is playing from a cd rom, you might get better performance by enabling dma for that drive:
sudo hdparm -d1 /dev/cdrom
