I built MPlayer-0.90rc1 from their source this morning after installing
qt6dlls.tar.bz2, qtextras.tar.bz2, rp9codecs.tar.bz2, and w32codec.tar.bz2,
also from their site. Didn't have to make any patches, though I have a
few here that I've been applying since MPlayer-20020124. I did have to
tell the configure script where the RealPlayer and QuickTime files lived
(I plopped 'em into /usr/lib/win32).

Have no problems with arrow keys and the two LOTR trailers, with either
gmplayer or mplayer. The "GUI window" doesn't increment the playback
indicator with QT (and some other I don't recall) files, but that's not
a new deficiency (I understand some codes won't allow it).

The OSD menu is really cool, but I haven't figured out how to toggle
things yet (ex: fullscreen mode). Navigating the menu works fine. Maybe
the OSD menu isn't ready for prime time yet?
