Hello,
I am having a little bit of trouble with mplayer and wondering if you guys
could give me some help. I apt-get install from
deb http://spello.sscnet.ucla.edu/marillat/ sid main
Everything went fine but I can only play movies if I am root. Here are the
two printouts I get when I start mplayer
For root
mplayer -vo xv "movie name"

I have checked the /dev/rtc and the permission is crw-rw-r-- 1 root root

and I am a member of the video group as well.
Thanks for any help,
