Greetings, |

|
3 |
My old thinkpad is showing its age lately, especially when using |
4 |
mplayer to play avi or mkv files. Fooling around with various options |
5 |
and config arguments has revealed that using the directfb for vo gives |
6 |
sterling results, with the worst files playing happily in sync just like |
7 |
I always dreamed -- but only as root! |
8 |
|
9 |
Obviously there's a permissions issue somewhere... |
10 |
|
11 |
My user is a member of all the appropriate groups (unless I've missed |
12 |
something?): |
13 |
|
14 |
[idd@gh~] $ id |
15 |
uid=501(indulekha) gid=501(indulekha) groups=501(indulekha),5(tty), |
16 |
10(wheel),16(cron),17(console),18(audio),19(cdrom),27(video),35(games), |
17 |
104(crontab),994(vboxusers),998(plugdev) |
18 |
|
19 |
I've googled quite a bit about it and found a few users with the same problem |
20 |
but nowhere have I seen an answer. Is there a solution for this, or should I |
21 |
simply resign to watching videos as root? |
22 |
|
23 |
TIA! |
