Re: mplayer
No I am not running X as root. I can not get mplayer to work as a normal
user but I have no problems with it when run as root.
However when I run mplayer as root mplayer -vo fbdev I get the following

but mplayer -vo xv and mplayer -vo x11 works as root but not as a normal user.
Any ideas?
