Hi, due to some problems with the svgalib_helper module and the recent kernels Slackware -current now has svgalib compiled without needing helper module support. I did some tests to see if there was a performance hit but when running mplayer -vo svga I get the following error: /usr/bin/mplayer -vo svga test.mpg MPlayer dev-SVN-rUNKNOWN-4.2.4 (C) 2000-2008 MPlayer Team CPU: Intel Celeron 2/Pentium III Coppermine,Geyserville (Family: 6, Model: 8, Stepping: 6) CPUflags: MMX: 1 MMX2: 1 3DNow: 0 3DNow2: 0 SSE: 1 SSE2: 0 Compiled with runtime CPU detection. Playing test.mpg. MPEG-PS file format detected. VIDEO: MPEG2 480x480 (aspect 2) 29.970 fps 2520.0 kbps (315.0 kbyte/s) svgalib: Cannot open /dev/mem Are you running this program as root or suid-root? I then chmoded a+rw /dev/mem and rerun mplayer but the same error occurs. It does work as root, but am I to understand that mplayer must be run as root for /dev/mem support? Is this normal?
