[MPlayer-cygwin] winvidix

[Alexander Turcic]

I mentioned the same problem earlier on this mailing list. I used
dhasetup.exe to install the driver (running as administrator), rebooted
my machine (windows xp sp1 german), and yet mplayer keeps complaining
that it cannot find the driver.

So I looked closer at the install procedure with a ring3 debugger.
Result: on my machine, all what dhasetup.exe does is copy dhahelper.sys
to my system32/drivers directory. No registry changes. If the driver
cannot be found on your machine as well, I suggest you open regedit.exe ,
press ctrl+f and search for dhahelper. No changes were made, thus the
driver won't be loaded at boot time.

Did you reboot after this?

I repeat what I have written in my other mail, it's very hard to help
you when you do not try the suggestions I give you...

Do a "make test" in the libdha subdir and execute "test.exe".

This indicates problems with dhahelper.sys.  Did you follow the
instructions in the Windows section of the docs?  Did you do "make
install"?  Are you running as Administrator?  Also try

mplayer -vo winvidix:radeon_vid.so
