The reason why mplayer crashes (in some cases) when using x11 output and -wid (>0) parameter is this: Mplayer by default creates a colormap using DirectColor visual. If the window given to mplayer uses TrueColor visual there will be an error when mplayer sets the colormap for the window. This patch modifies mplayer to use TrueColor visual if the window given to mplayer uses TrueColor. Another solution is to make sure that the window given to mplayer is created using DirectColor visual if it is supported by the display. Jouni Tulkki <[e-mail]>

/*
    bios2dump.c - Was designed to dump memory block to file.
    Usage: as argument requires absolute address of memory dump and its lenght
    (int hexadecimal form).
    as output - will write file which will named: memADDR_LEN.dump
    where: ADDR - given address of memory
           LEN  - given length of memory
