[MPlayer-cygwin] winvidix dhahelper.sys problem

[Alexander Turcic]

Hello,

I am running mplayer-mingw32-dev-CVS-040408 and tried the experimental
vidix support on my Toshiba 5100 notebook (GeForce 440MX, Windows XP).
Somehow I don't think the driver is being loaded at all, even when I run 'dhasetup.exe
install'. All it does is copy the .sys driver to my /system32 path. But
if I reboot, the driver is not being loaded (as shown by various process
managers). So when I try the '-vo winvidix' option, all I receive is
this:

No vidix driver name provided, probing available ones (-v option for details)!
unable to enable directio please install dhahelper.sys

Exiting... (End of file)

Any idea why dhahelper is not installed? Shouldn't dhahelper.exe also do
some appropriate registry changes to make the driver start at boottime?

Greetings
