what I would like to ask you is how do I compile mplayer with gui support?
I compiled it from source (0.50), but when I start it it tells me it's not 
compiled with gui support; isn't it autodetected?
and by the way, both mplayer and avifile after ./configure presents me the 
autodetected compile options; both say mga_vid no, although I have an matrox 
G400 card; isn't mga_vid related to that? configure for both programs looks 
for /dev/mga_vid; how do I create that?
