it seems that mplayer/sdl will work normally at 8 bit depth. it does not
work at 24, 16, or 15. i usually run 24. 

sdl *will* work at 24 bit depth if i use '-sdl dga', but that gives me a
fullscreen movie instead of opening it in a window. so it looks like the
sdl x11 driver is broken in some way. is anyone else having similar
problems?
