To Use the mediaLib Libraries on the Solaris Platform

The mediaLib™ libraries are a collection of functions that accelerate common multimedia operations. The Java Desktop System uses the mediaLib libraries if the libraries are installed on the system. The performance of the Java Desktop System, especially Nautilus, improves significantly when the mediaLib libraries are installed. The Java Desktop System requires mediaLib version 2.0 or higher.

For information on how to obtain and install the mediaLib libraries, see the mediaLib website at http://www.sun.com/processors/vis/mlib.html.
