Hi!
I'd like to second that. I've tried the new mplayer build recently and
it seemed to work very well. The only caveat so far is that it kept
showing some strange XShape-related errors on start. I googled around
and found the following fix for my xorg.conf:
Section "Module"
Load "glx"
# ZYV
Load "extmod"
SubSection "extmod"
Option "omit xfree86-dga" # don't initialise the DGA extension
EndSubSection
EndSection
# ZYV
Section "Extensions"
Option "Composite" "enable"
EndSection
Section "Screen"
Identifier "Screen0"
Device "Videocard0"
Monitor "Monitor0"
DefaultDepth 24
# ZYV
Option "AddARGBGLXVisuals" "true"
SubSection "Display"
Viewport 0 0
Depth 24
Modes "1280x1024" "1280x960" "1280x800" "1152x864"
"1152x768" "1024x768" "800x600" "640x480"
EndSubSection
EndSection
The lines marked with # ZYV are those I needed to add to my
configuration (I'm using the nv driver for your records).
The black border around the skin disappeared along with the start-up
errors. Just thought it would be useful if I post it to the list so the
others wouldn't need to google that far.
Other than that, I repeat, it works like a charm. Thank you Dag for your
efforts!
