[MPlayer-cygwin] Possible dirextx bug ?

[Stephen Carroll]

Using http://oss.netfarm.it/mplayer-win32.php
I'm using the normal shell at the moment and it's working fine but 
windows is so grey and dull.
Gues I'll just have to put up with it till I find a replacement.
Thanks for the replies.

You say it works in the normal shell, then I suggest you use that, or find a replacement that has full support for your card.  Normal shell seems to have the support for the overlay.  Are you compiling mplayer yourself or using one of the binaries?
