91f870d7b8 - Remove a wrong comment about the fact a Video DVD is not mountable. Any
DVD is actually mountable using ISO9660 system, in fact the file
  system used is an hybrid UDF/ISO9660 system.
- Some rewordings in the TV Cards section.

3a72c141c9 <indexterm> entries can not be included in the middle of a table.
This confuses the print-backend so that it can't determine what page
the index entry should refer to, and just prints '???' instead of a
page number or range.

Move two entries a few lines up before the <informaltable>.

diskless-x/article.sgml:
 - While I'm here anyway add trademark tags for all trademarks, now
   that the stylesheet handles it right.

trademark.ent:
 - Add entities for more trademarks / companies.

Also rename the 3Com trademark entity from t3com to tm.3com.  This
should make the entity naming convention a bit more consitent.  This is
done now since the entity is not used too many places yet.

e7db2f9364 Say hello to the beginnings of a new multimedia chapter (after a
repo-copy from sound).  This is based on the old sound chapter, but
includes video and other multimedia related bits.  More will be added to
it shortly and various parts will be cleaned up, but I wanted to get
this in the tree before I do anything else to it.

The sound chapter has been removed from the build, but I haven't cvs
rm'd it yet (though I will in about 24 hrs time).

6132b09664 Add entry for the common case of:
xxx: can't open /dev/dsp!
which causes a lot of people new to FreeBSD to wonder why their card seems
to probe and set itself up correctly, but which doesn't play their mp3's.
This is due to Gnome's esound or KDE's sound support to hold the devices
hostage.
