In DirectFB CVS it seems the CRTC2 layer's name got changed from "Matrox
CRTC2" to "Matrox CRTC Layer".
MPlayer uses the old name (i assume mplayer cvs uses the newer name)
Atached is a patch against Mplayer-1.0pre3 to fix this (it should apply
against other versions too, and it's pretty trivial anyway)
(I had this problem, and this is the result of about 20 minutes of
digging around source code trying to find out why the error occurs)
Btw, if you're not trying to use CRTC2 (tvout in most situations), you
need to do (IIRC):
mplayer -vo dfbmga:nocrtc2 <somefile>
Hope this helps
[and, alot of packages have alot of problems using 2.6.x headers]
