I've worked out that the problem is because I've been trying to run MPlayer remotely over ssh, and it needs to be run from the console to get non-root access. That's a bit awkward, because I don't have a monitor connected to that PC, and I don't have it set up to display a console on the TV correctly. But the real issue is that I want to access DirectFB from vdr which starts automatically. I suppose I could rearrange my boot sequence and inittab etc so the vdr user automatically gets logged in and starts the program from .profile, but is there a more straightforward way to give programs access to directfb when they're not started from a console? -- TH * http://www.realh.co.uk
