mplayer (gmplayer) with xfce4.4.0
FreeBSD-6.2 xfce-4.4.0 I posted this on the xfce4 list; however, they thought it might be a FreeBSD problem. Scenario: Right click on desktop Click Multimedia Click mplayer This error message is displayed: [ws] Shared Memory Extensions Error I can start mplayer from a terminal window, but not directly on the xfce4 desktop, now will gmplayer work either. The same error message is displayed. I am hoping someone has a useful suggestion. White Hat [EMAIL PROTECTED] 8:00? 8:25? 8:40? Find a flick in no time with the Yahoo!

Is the underlying menu entry the same command that you run in the terminal?

Well, 0.99.8_5 here, although portupgrade -arR is running on ttyv0, so I may be installing a broken player also. I assume you have tried under another WM such as good old TWM? Same result? What about on the console (no X)? Are you playing video files or audio (probably video)? The [ws] Shared Memory Extensions Error sounds pretty application-specific to me. It's possible the xfce people should have referred you to mplayer as well as FBSD. I'm guessing somewhere between mplayer and X11 and FreeBSD. What about recompiling whilst passing --disable-shm to configure? Also, I assume you're on X.org, correct?
