What's the problem with gcc 2.96 ?

gcc 2.96 is RedHat's UNOFFICIAL (it can be found only on RedHat/Mandrake sites, or
RedHat/Mandrake distributions) and BUGGY gcc release. gcc 2.96 is TOTALLY
unsupported by <B>MPlayer</B>, because it simply SKIPS MMX/3DNow codes, it just does
not compile it. Important: this is NOT an <B>MPlayer</B>-specific problem,
numerous other projects (DRI, avifile, Wine, etc..) have problems with this shit
too.<BR>
<B><I>DO NOT USE gcc 2.96 !!!</I></B><BR>
If you really really want to do so, be sure to use the newest.
To be short: <B><I>DO NOT USE gcc 2.96 !!!</I></B><BR>

If you still really really want to do so, be sure to use the latest release.

No. There are issues with those, either. :( Use 2.95.x series, those are reliable,
and faster than 2.96 and 3.x.x . If you really really wish to use 3.0.x , be
sure to always use the newest.
No, since there have been/are issues with those compilers.<BR>
Use 2.95.x series for reliability (not <A HREF="gcc-2.96-3.0.html">2.96</A>).
Use the latest gcc 3.0.x (starting at 3.0.2) if you want to use a 3.0.x version.

It does NOT work with 1.1.6, 1.1.5 1.1.4 1.1.3 1.0.4 etc, don't ask.

It's normal. Since a while, <B>MPlayer</B> doesn't depend on libcss for
DVD playing. You have to install <B>libdvdread</B> and <B>libdvdcss?</B>.
libcss is to be used for example when you want to play encrypted VOB files

Dunno, downgrade kernel (newer have stupid licensing limitation), upgrade
<B>MPlayer</B> or something.
The latest kernels modules needs require a flag indicating its license (mainly
to avoid kernel hackers' debugging closed sources drivers).
Upgrade your kernel and your modutils and <B>MPlayer</B>.
