Hi,

I recently followed the mplayer compiling instructions

./configure
make
sudo make install

I wanted to include pulseaudio and jack support.   Figured out I needed
the dev packages (I'm using Ubuntu 7.10) for jack and PA, and installed
them.  Configure found the dev files and included the correct options.

The result of my compilation is that I can get audio, but the video is
not there.  When I run as non-root mplayer outputs a few of these messages

...
[radeon] Error occurred during pci scan: Operation not permitted
[rage128] Error occurred during pci scan: Operation not permitted
[savage_vid] Error occurred during pci scan: Operation not permitted
...

Running mplayer as root I get this output:

...

but there is no video... 

Originally I  installed mplayer from the std Ubuntu package, and
video/audio was fine.  Normally video would pop up i na separate window.

Thanks for any help....
