Problem with totem and dropshadows

Dear Sirs,
I have the following problems with FreeBSD 5.4 and gnome 2.10, and I
would appreciate your help a lot:
1. As in the gnome2.10 instructions, I compiled atapicam into the kernel
and added the following entries into the /etc/devfs.conf:
# Commonly used by many ports
#link acd0 cdrom
perm cd0 0666
perm xpt0 0666
perm pass0 0666
after that the cdplayer and soundjuicer worked O.K., but totem doesn't.
When pressing on the button "play disk", I got the following message:
"Failed to find mountpoint for device /dev/cd0 in /etc/fstab"
so I modified my fstab the following way:
# Device Mountpoint FStype
Options Dump Pass#
/dev/ad0s3b none
swap sw 0 0
/dev/ad0s3a /
ufs rw 1 1
/dev/acd0 /cdrom
cd9660 ro,noauto 0 0
/dev/acd1 /cdrom1
cd9660 ro,noauto 0 0
/dev/acd0 /home/werner/DVD cd9660
ro,noauto 0 0
/dev/acd1 /home/werner/CD-RW cd9660
ro,noauto 0 0
/dev/da0 /home/werner/Memcard msdos
ro,noauto 0 0
/dev/cd0 /cdrom
cd9660 ro,noauto 0 0
/dev/cd0 /home/werner/DVD cd9660
ro,noauto 0 0
but after this and a reboot I get the following message, when pressing
the "play disk" button:
"Failed to retrieve capabilities of device /dev/cd0: Inappropiate ioctl
for device"
So what do I have to do now? As I said, the cdplayer and soundjuicer work.
Why since FreeBSD 5.4 you need atapicam for playing CD's and DVD's
anyway, it worked fine before without that.
2. I added mp3 support into soundjuicer as described here in sound
juicer help:
If you need to store tracks in the MP3 format (for example, because your
portable music player only supports MP3 and not Ogg Vorbis), you will
need to create a new profile. To do this, run
gnome-audio-profiles-properties, press New and name it MP3. Then press
Edit and set GStreamer Pipeline to audio/x-raw-int,rate=44100,channels=2
! lame name=enc, the File Extenstion to mp3, and check Active. Then
start Sound Juicer and select the MP3 format.
This profile uses the LAME MP3 encoder, so you will need to have the
GStreamer LAME plugin installed.
This works fine, and produces a 128 kbps mp3 file, but how can I create
a profile with 192 kbps or with variable bitrate?
3. On your homepage appears a screenshot with xorg's dropshadow enabled
in gnome 2.10. How do I achieve that?
My xorg.conf is already prepared for that with the following entries:
Option "RenderAccel" "true"
Option "AllowGLXWithComposite"
Section "Extensions"
Option "Composite" "Enable"
Option "RENDER" "Enable"
EndSection
that way my hardware acceleration works fine.
I installed gnome 2.10 with sysinstall from the 2nd FreeBSD CD, but I
get no dropshadows. What do I have to do now?
Regards,
Werner
