Hello Juanito , thks for your replies . Very nice !

After some trial and errors , I could make it work .

- in Apps I had to download the following , one after another :
   ---- libXss.tcz
   ---- libXv.tcz
   ---- libXxf86dga.tcz

I made all that to load on boot , after that I can finally start mplayer on terminal , cool .

I finally can see JASON & The ARGONAUTS playing
on my "OldTimer" 32bit Dell D610 Pentium M .

thanks a lot !

Hi, I use tc12 (both 32 and 64 bits) from now (UEFI), and tc4-tc6 for old PC (BIOS). But I am curios:
1. Why someone will "upgrade" from (let's say) tc9 up to tc10 or tc11, but not directly to tc12?
2. Why use the LATEST versions for software? For example, why vlc3 and not vlc2? Or why LibreOffice and not gnumeric?
Could you share what you personally missed in older versions? It is not criticism or suggestion what to use, just try to learn... 
(only for Firefox I understand the need to upgrade, because perceived security, freedom/privacy for bank transactions etc).
If someone use huge memory consumption (and long dependencies list) software like Firefox/LibreOffice/VLC etc, then why not use tc12 kernel? What is the criteria, because RAM limitation could not be one, for these choices?
Thank you.

If you still have  vlc3  on your machine, does it start with one of these commands:

--- Code: ---nvlc
--- End code ---
or:

--- Code: ---cvlc
--- End code ---
Or does it still produce an error message containing  qt  and/or  Illegal instruction ?

  Hello nick65go . Yes , you got the point , the idea is to use latest Firefox  for safe browsing (banking , email )  I couldnt have that with Windows XP on this machine anymore . So for now TC12 is working perfectly for this purpose , I can browse with no restrictions whatsoever .  Having media players are secondary aim to this revival project ( dell latitude D610 Pentium M ,  only  1gb RAM ddr2 ) .

I tried Gnumeric but is off on TC12 32bit , something went wrong when installing , LibreOffice is perfect and runs fine on this machine . Other survival kit installed , calculator , epdf-view , xmms , enough to basic tasks . Now I will try to learn some mplayer commands .

any thoughts are appreciated and really welcome .
