A: Try running MPlayer on the machine you compiled on. Or recompile. Don't
   use MPlayer on different CPU than it was compiled on.

Q: I have problems with <your window manager> and fullscreen xv/xmga/sdl/x11
   modes..
A: Yes, it's a bug. But not only our bug. We couldn't yet develop any
   windowmanager-independent method to make window really fullscreen.
   There was some version, but there are always users with problems.
   I think the only solution is adding a new switch, for example -fsmode
   to select which method should be used.
   Unfortunately most common window managers aren't compatible with standards
   or Motif wm. So standard ways to enable fullscreen doesn't work with them.
   And non-standard modes not work for standard-compliant wm's.

Q: But it works with avifile !
A: So what?

Q: Then avifile is better !
