A: Try running MPlayer on the machine you compiled on. Or recompile. Don't
use MPlayer on different CPU than it was compiled on.
-Q: I have problems with WindowMaker and fullscreen xv/xmga/sdl/x11 modes..
- It was OK before the ICCCM-compliance patch.
-A1: Known problem, ICCCM sucks.
-A2: Turn off ICCCM compliance by editing libvo/x11_common.c line 161 and
- replacing #if 1 with #if 0 . Then recompile.
+Q: I have problems with <your window manager> and fullscreen xv/xmga/sdl/x11
+ modes..
+A: Yes, it's a bug. But not only our bug. We couldn't yet develop any
+ windowmanager-independent method to make window really fullscreen.
+ There was some version, but there are always users with problems.
+ I think the only solution is adding a new switch, for example -fsmode
+ to select which method should be used.
+ Unfortunately most common window managers aren't compatible with standards
+ or Motif wm. So standard ways to enable fullscreen doesn't work with them.
+ And non-standard modes not work for standard-compliant wm's.
Q: But it works with avifile !
A: So what?
