Unlike DGA, you can't fix it with SGID perms on mplayer and /dev/mem (which implies that GtK GUI mode won't work, as this stops running if the EUID is 0) Xvidix seems to needs to open the video device as root, and there are only a limited number of built-in graphics devices (happily from my POV, Mach64 is one of them). However, I find that '-vo xv' is inferior to both '-vo dga' and '-vo xvidix' in respect of color (more noticable on some videos than others). It tends to win for smoothness of playback, but I find that I generally get best results with 'xvidix' these days (which directly supports my ATI Rage Mobility M1, laptop with PIII-600). If you've got more CPU horsepower, you may prefer other solutions. Cheers, AS To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
