@ -137,11 +137,13 @@ A: ./configure autodetects your DGA driver. If -vo help doesn't show
Q: Ok, -vo help shows DGA driver, but it is babbling about permissions!
Help me!
A: Make the mplayer binary SUID root. Become root and type the following:
'chown root /usr/local/bin/mplayer'
'chmod 750 /usr/local/bin/mplayer'
'chmod +s /usr/local/bin/mplayer'
Now it works as a simple user, too.
A: It works only if running as root! It's a DGA limitation.
You should become to root (su -), and try again.
Another solution is making mplayer SUID root, but its NOT RECOMMENDED!
'chown root /usr/local/bin/mplayer'
'chmod 750 /usr/local/bin/mplayer'
'chmod +s /usr/local/bin/mplayer'
!!!! BUT STAY TUNED !!!!
This is a BIG security risk! Never do this on a server or on a computer
can be accessed by more people than only you because they can gain root
