Hi Sebastian,

I've fixed the slow video playback issue after finding Solaris 10 x86 video
drivers at http://www.nvidia.com/object/unix.html

Once I installed these and ran nvidia-settings, the playback was much 
improved.

Someone might want to include the Nvidia URL in the documentation under
8.2.1.3??? 
http://www5.mplayerhq.hu/DOCS/HTML/en/output-trad.html#xv

After installing the drivers, fullscreen mode played the video inside a 
black framed box, and to get full screen, I used 
% gmplayer -zoom -x 2 -y 2
and then set the aspect to 4:3.

All that's left now is to find ac3 audio support.

Cheers
Paul
