SUCCESS! I closed artsd from within KDE and I can now use xmms! :) I can now also use "mplayer -ao oss foo.avi" and for once mplayer closes without any errors! Thanks Jason :D >Huh?

On the above topic, the terminal doesnt get closed, the text is just invisible and backspace doesnt work either. So if i type: z <back space> exit Instead of exiting (because back space would normally delete the "z") it says: zexit: not found Anything I type in there after this still remains invisible. Thanks for your help so far Jason :D saved me from rebuilding... again :) - BiZKiT >From: Jason Andresen <jandrese@mitre.org> >To: Rhys John <elite_bizkit@hotmail.com> >CC: freebsd-multimedia@freebsd.org >Subject: Re: mplayer keeps screwing my system :( >Date: Fri, 20 Dec 2002 09:47:22 -0500 > >Rhys John wrote: >>I tried "mplayer -ao oss" and as you said, I got no sound, so is this >>artsd the problem then?
