>Description:


Hi.

The VLC port experiences a problem with the volume bar position. It is positioned way up in the VLC window and is almost inaccessible. It looks like this screenshot on the VLC forums:

http://forum.videolan.org/viewtopic.php?f=13&t=40525

Following the instructions there to use wxgtk2.6 instead of 2.8 solved the problem for me on two different FreeBSD machines, so included is a patch to fix this in the tree.

Thanks!

-Mark


>How-To-Repeat:


1. Install multimedia/vlc
2. Launch the program and try to use the volume bar

Users on the FreeBSD mailing lists have confirmed this problem on their systems as well.
