Hi Brian,
Thanks for your response. I have already tried to modify the XF86config-4 to force the module video4linux to be loaded. To no avail. The mpeg players "works", but spits that message. I have noticed some quirks with the player, but I can't tell if it is due to the lack of that module. Oh Well, I am using an old S3 card on this machine. I guess that it is due to the driver. I will until I change that card. Cheers. Dominic.
