i can play mpeg files without starting X, using the "-vo svga" option in
mplayer. but i can do this only as root.
if a normal user tries to do this, mplayer aborts, saying:
"svgalib: cannot get I/O permissions."
however, the normal user can use mplayer under X without any problem, using
the SDL driver (" mplayer -fs -vo sdl").
what can i do to correct this?
i am using MPlayer-0.50-1 and svgalib-1.4.3-1.
here is a list of the important svgalib files:
/etc/vga/dvorak-us.keymap
/etc/vga/libvga.config
/etc/vga/libvga.et4000
/etc/vga/null.keymap
/usr/local/bin/dumpreg
/usr/local/bin/mode3
/usr/local/bin/restorefont
/usr/local/bin/restorepalette
/usr/local/bin/restoretextmode
/usr/local/bin/savetextmode
/usr/local/bin/svgakeymap
/usr/local/bin/textmode
/usr/local/include/vga.h
/usr/local/include/vgagl.h
/usr/local/include/vgajoystick.h
/usr/local/include/vgakeyboard.h

/usr/local/lib/libvga.so.1.4.3
