If -vo help doesn't show Q: Ok, -vo help shows DGA driver, but it is babbling about permissions! Help me! -A: Make the mplayer binary SUID root. Become root and type the following: - 'chown root /usr/local/bin/mplayer' - 'chmod 750 /usr/local/bin/mplayer' - 'chmod +s /usr/local/bin/mplayer' - Now it works as a simple user, too. +A: It works only if running as root! It's a DGA limitation. + You should become to root (su -), and try again. + + Another solution is making mplayer SUID root, but its NOT RECOMMENDED! + 'chown root /usr/local/bin/mplayer' + 'chmod 750 /usr/local/bin/mplayer' + 'chmod +s /usr/local/bin/mplayer' !!!!
