Many people asked same questions so I decided to write this stuff.
I know that people will never read this but at least i try to
pull down number of these mails.
And from now i can say that "read the fuckin' FAQ!" :-)
Let's ask!

<B>Q: -xy option doesn't work with x11 driver (-vo x11)
</B>A: x11 driver doesn't support scaling, but XF86VidMode support is now
used: you must specify the -vm and the -fs switch, and you're done.
Make sure you have the right Modelines in your XF86Config file, and
try if the DGA driver (and SDL's DGA driver, see VIDEOCARDS) works for you.
It's much faster. If SDL's DGA works too, use that, it'll be EVEN
faster!

The only common thing between these players is the Win32 DLL loader.
The codecs (dll) sets, syncronization, demultiplexing etc is totaly
different and shouldn't be compared.
If something works with aviplay it doesn't mean that <B>MPlayer</B> should do
it and vice versa.

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'
chown root /usr/local/bin/mplayer
chmod 750 /usr/local/bin/mplayer
chmod +s /usr/local/bin/mplayer

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
privilegies through suid root mplayer!!!
