[MPlayer-cygwin] Winvidix Unichrome "unable to enable directio" (binary packages)

[hsim at gmx.li]

Dear MPlayer-Cygwin list,

I'm trying to get Winvidix to work on my box.

I'm using the binary Windows CVS version available for download on the website (MPlayer-mingw32-dev-CVS-050626.zip) and I also tried with the older 1.0pre7 version. I'm afraid that I haven't yet understood how to compile it myself from the latest sources.

My computer is a VIA C3 with CLE266 S3/Unichrome onboard graphics chipset (VT8623).

The Operating system is Windows XP Service Pack 2 German locale.

The display settings in Windows are 1280x1024 with a colour depth of 24 planes ("32 Bit").

The error message is as follows:

	[unichrome] Found chip: VT8623 [CLE266 AGP]
	vidixlib: C:/mplayer/mplayer/vidix/unichrome_vid.so probed o'k
	vidixlib: will use C:/mplayer/mplayer/vidix/unichrome_vid.so driver
	vidixlib: Attempt to initialize driver at: 10001960
	unable to enable directio please install dhahelper.sys

However, I did run dhasetup.exe install as the instructions demand.

The driver is also getting loaded, at least ntblog file says so, and if it is not installed, mplayer doesn't even "find the chip".

I hope someone can give me some instructions as to what to try or possibly how to resolve this problem.

Thank you very much,
Nei
