What difference, you being smarter than me, no prob, that crown is up
to you :-)

No just kidding, i was just wondering  why you cross post instead of 
resending the whole (quite complete) bug report...

Well i had a common mistake in mind, which would be solved by really 
re-reading the whole doc stuff...
And better i spend time on "flaming" than the mplayer developers :-)

could it be, that (as the error output say's) you are missing the
fonts ?
I suspect the error condition handling of not finding fonts.desc
does not de-init properly:

also you neither have a input.conf nor a running lircd,
those where the last tries for your system

my only difference to your setup is:
you have live.com, mee not
i have dvb-out, you not
i have different CPU:  celeron1 + old amd-1100
i have lircd running (it's fast setup for dummy puposes, give it a try)
i use fonts

no thats realy a bug, since i only use dvbout :-) i'm shure about that

well not directly, but it shows the little differences (
(.cfg files absent, lirc not running, fonts)
so if it make one thing, its that yout bugreport will grow, since people
like me always find another possibility one could check .... :-)

I hope you don't mind the first flame :-)
