Finally my mkv video file is running on slitaz!

It has been a while since I had the chance to work on my slitaz machine...

And since today I had some time, decided to find out if I can:
1. Play flash
2. Play mkv files (like what I was trying to in my previous post

For (1) the sad truth is that it is not possible... or maybe I have not tried hard enough. But after reading http://www.dedoimedo.com/computers/slitaz.html, I have decided to stop since at the end of the installing flash segment (and I quote):

"However, neither did this help. Flash was not meant to be."

So, then, moving on to task (2). Did another google search and this time, I came across this topic on slitaz forum: http://vanilla.slitaz.org/index.php?p=/discussion/304/help-cannot-play-video-files-on-slitaz/p1 (I wonder why I did not see this earlier... :( ... )

Anyhow, I followed the instructions to change the video driver to X11 instead of default xvin the mplayer preferences.



Voila! it now can play my mkv files! yay! :)
