You can change the font and size through the setup menu in xine (misc tab). If you're not happy with the type of font, you can read on how to change font types here: http://xinehq.de/index.php/faq#SUPPORTEDFONTS If you have questions regarding the font types, please post them to the xine-user mailing list, which is the better place to ask this. > I can't increase the brightness in totem, nor in xine, and mplayer fails to > start.

In this case xine will activate seperate controls for brightness/contrast/saturation/hue if they are supported by your video card and driver. When you use xshm output you probably don't have these controls. > [charles@moe charles]$ mplayer Sorry I never use mplayer, so I can't help you with this one :-( Regards, Marcel
