See post in Gentoo forums for more details
Where can I learn more about Kernel Mode Settings? I'm using FreeBSD 9.1 (PC-BSD 9.1), and as far as I know my system is fully up to date. I'm looking through the Gentoo thread you suggested, and I've gleaned some ideas from it. But, my system querries don't look anything like the ones featured in that thread, at least not at a quick glance.

As I mentioned earlier, I've managed to get some of my video playback to work. Dragon and Xine are still not working, so DVD playback isn't available. I'm still looking into it.
