[MPlayer-users] MPlayer with 8 bpp under X11 ?

[Andreas Bacher]

I try to get MPlayer 0.92 running on an system with a video card   
that only supports 8 bpp color depth. I am using X11 video output.   
   
following messages before MPlayer terminates:   
   
SwScaler: BICUBIC scaler, from BGR 32-bit to BGR 8-bit using C   
BGR not supported, please contact the developers   
FATAL: Cannot initialize video driver.   
VDecoder init failed :(   
......   
   
My question: Is it possible to get mplayer running with 8 bpp output   
under X11?  Or is that not supported?  
  
Thanks for infos!
