MPlayer-0.90-alt8.pre8 puts vidix drivers in wrong place (/usr/lib/vidix). MPlayer searches them in /usr/lib/mplayer/vidix/. --- --- strace -e trace=file mplayer -ao sdl:esd -vo xvidix -fs 1 give_blood.avi 2>&1 |grep vidix execve(\"/usr/bin/mplayer\", [\"mplayer\", \"-ao\", \"sdl:esd\", \"-vo\", \"xvidix\", \"-fs\", \"1\", \"give_blood.avi\"], [/* 54 vars */]) = 0 No vidix driver name provided, probing available ones! open(\"/usr/lib/mplayer/vidix/\", O_RDONLY|O_NONBLOCK|O_LARGEFILE|O_DIRECTORY) = -1 ENOENT (No such file or directory) vosub_vidix: Couldn\'t find working VIDIX driver
