Another reference system (booting knoppix and/or mepis) runs stellarium fine - with dri enabled just fine. But they use Xfree and not Xorg. (mplayer output snipped) > X11 error: BadAlloc (insufficient resources for operation) Now that I'm running etch, I'm noticing this more and more often - almost every instance of mplayer(1) needs -vo x11 to work properly. Prior to this, I was able to sometimes use -vo xv, or -vo sdl (little faster) but never -vo mga, which is what I'd prefer to do. Also, without using an alias, some programs such as kmplayer which depend on mplayer will silently fail because mplayer(1) fails, because -vo x11 is not attached.

Dunno if that is important. Unfortunately, I don't know DRI well enough to figure this out. I suspect problems WRT some modules in Xorg - at one time (rev 7 I think) it stopped working -- waiting for it to get fixed :). -- ------------------------------------------------------------------------ David E.
