Hello all, I'm trying to get mplayer working, as in actually displaying video. although I direct the video to null when I'm watching videos, it'd be nice to be able to display the video when I have sighted friends over. mplayer itself works fine, I'm having trouble with the x server. I run the startx program, and get dumped to a graphics console, when I switch back to my text console I get a message something like the following: AUDIT: Mon Aug 4 17:55:54 2003: 8133 X: Client 5 rejected from local host then when I try and start mplayer, it, of course, says it couldn't open the x11 display. If anyone could help me out with this, I'd appriciate it. Thanks. Jim
