Now, let's see them in details: *************** *** 115,121 **** 1. Make sure X loads the DGA extension: (II) Loading extension XFree86-DGA 2. MPlayer's DGA driver is autodetected on ./configure, or you can force it with --enable-dga. ! 3. Be sure to use 24/32bpp mode, since there is no converter right now.. :( 4. Install MPlayer SUID root. 'chown root /usr/local/bin/mplayer' --- 116,125 ---- 1. Make sure X loads the DGA extension: (II) Loading extension XFree86-DGA + (you see, XFree86 4.0.x or greater is VERY RECOMMENDED!) 2. MPlayer's DGA driver is autodetected on ./configure, or you can force it with --enable-dga. ! 3. If the driver couldn't switch to a smaller resolution, experiment with ! switches -vm (only with X 3.0.x), -fs, -bpp, -zoom to find a video mode that ! the movie fits in. There is no converter right now.. :( 4. Install MPlayer SUID root. 'chown root /usr/local/bin/mplayer' *************** *** 128,132 **** privilegies through suid root mplayer. !!!!
