Please be patient, this script may take a while to run...
[ good ] you're using Linux, doing specific tests
I can do some additional checks on Linux systems. Most of them check
for Linux-specific properties...
[ good ] looks like you have a /proc filesystem mounted.
Many system parameters can be read from the pseudo-files in proc,
as provided by the procfs.
I'll now check some of those...
[ good ] You seem to have a reasonable kernel version (2.6.18.2-34-default)
I've detected a recent 2.6 (or newer) kernel, which should have support
for
DVD devices, as well as anything else that could accelerate video playb
ack.
[ good ] intel compatible processor, checking MTRR support
video performance can be greatly improved if there is a way to
make the cache controller access video memory directly. MTRRs
allow the X server to do this on i386 and compatible processors...
[ good ] you have MTRR support and there are some ranges set.
This probably means that your X server has set MTRR ranges for
your graphics memory, which can give a significant performance
increase when writing big amounts of (video) data.
[ good ] found the player at /usr/bin/xine
The 'xine' binary has been found. This indicates that you
have xine-ui installed.
[ good ] /usr/bin/xine is in your PATH
[ good ] found /usr/bin/xine-config in your PATH
xine-config is a script installed by xine-lib. It is used
to determine various xine file locations on your systems.
[ good ] plugin directory /usr/lib64/xine/plugins/1.1.3 exists.
This directory should hold all kinds of xine plugins.
[ good ] found unknown plugin: xineplug_flac.so
I don't know any xine plugins that follow this naming scheme.
Maybe this is a leftover from obsolete xine versions.
Maybe you need to upgrade me (xine-check)so I know about this
(new) kind of plugin...
[ good ] found input plugins
These input plugins have been found:
cdda dvd file http mms net pnm pvr rtp rtsp smb stdin_fifo v4l vcdo vc

[ good ] found demux plugins

[ good ] found video_out plugins
These video_out plugins have been found:

[ good ] found audio_out plugins
These audio_out plugins have been found:

[ good ] skin directory /usr/share/xine/skins exists.
This directory should hold all xine skins.
[ good ] found logo in /usr/share/xine/skins
This indicates that the skins have actually been installed there...
[ good ] I even found some skins.
These skins have been found:
xinetic
[ hint ] You don't have a /dev/cdrom device.
This is the default device that xine uses for playing VCDs or CDs.
You could make your life easier by creating a symlink named /dev/cdrom
pointing to your real CD device (something like /dev/scd0 or /dev/hdc).
If your cdrom device is /dev/hdb (slave ATAPI device on primary bus),
ln -s hdb /dev/cdrom
typed as root will give you the symlink.
Alternatively, you can configure xine to use the real device directly,
using the setup dialog within xine.
press <enter> to continue...
xine --verbose
[ hint ] /dev/dvd is /dev/dvd, not a DVD device
/dev/dvd is the default device that xine uses for playing DVDs.
You could make your life easier by creating a symlink named /dev/dvd
pointing to your DVD device (something like /dev/scd0 or /dev/hdc).
If your DVD-ROM device is /dev/hdb (slave ATAPI device on primary bus),
rm /dev/dvd
ln -s hdb /dev/dvd
typed as root will give you the symlink.
Alternatively, you can configure xine to use the real device directly,
using the setup dialog within xine, but I can't check your DMA
settings in that case...

[ good ] found xvinfo: X-Video Extension version 2.2
At least that's what xvinfo said. Let's see...
[ good ] your Xv extension supports YV12 overlays (improves MPEG performance)
Your display claims to be capable of converting YUV colorspace to
RGB in hardware. This should improve performance when playing MPEG
video, as xine doesn''t have to do this job in software...
[ hint ] Your X server doesn't support YV12 overlays.
That means xine will have to do color space transformation and scaling
in software, which is quite CPU intensive. Maybe upgrading your
X server will help here.
If you have an ATI card, you'll find accelerated X servers on
