[MPlayer-users] strange vidix problem (memory allocation failure)

[Christian Kröner]

Hello list,

when running mplayer -vo xvidix -v some.avi I get the output below. I
see that vidixlib has got memory allocation problems, but I dont know
what I can do to fix this. I'm running into this problem since I
recently switched from Debian to Gentoo. While on Debian vidix worked
pretty well, on Gentoo it doesn't. I'm having svgalib_helper loaded but
this problem occurs even when running mplayer as root. I would be happy
if someone could help me, since the xv driver doesn't work very well for
me.

No vidix driver name provided, probing available ones (-v option for
details)!
