GNOME 2.0 Desktop for the Solaris Operating Environment System Administration Guide

To Use the mediaLib Libraries

The mediaLib™ libraries are a collection of functions that accelerate common multimedia operations. The desktop environment uses the mediaLib libraries if the libraries are installed on the system. The performance of the desktop environment, especially Nautilus, improves significantly when the mediaLib libraries are installed. The desktop environment 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.
