 Q: Ok, -vo help shows DGA driver, but it is babbling about permissions!
    Help me!
-A: Make the mplayer binary SUID root. Become root and type the following:
-   'chown root /usr/local/bin/mplayer'
-   'chmod 750 /usr/local/bin/mplayer'
-   'chmod +s /usr/local/bin/mplayer'
-   Now it works as a simple user, too.
+A: It works only if running as root! It's a DGA limitation.
+   You should become to root (su -), and try again.
+
+   Another solution is making mplayer SUID root, but its NOT RECOMMENDED!
+       'chown root /usr/local/bin/mplayer'
+       'chmod 750 /usr/local/bin/mplayer'
+       'chmod +s /usr/local/bin/mplayer'
    !!!! BUT STAY TUNED !!!!
    This is a BIG security risk! Never do this on a server or on a computer
    can be accessed by more people than only you because they can gain root
