Hi, long time no see! I have no other way than using X11 output here, because I have no root rights etc. But that doesn't work either, because MPlayer hangs (it simply stops before opening the output windows. It was like that with older version, but with current CVS (5 minutes old), too. I guess it must be either some check for X11 extensions, which the old X can't handle, or it's a problem with output rights (because .Xauthority is checked), but of course other programs' output works fine. Please don't tell me to upgrade. I know that it's needed...
