tdfxfb: Couldn't map memory areas: Invalid argument
Error opening/initializing the selected video_out (-vo) device.


Exiting... (End of file) 

i have kernel 2.6.10, tdfxfb (with acceleration) compiled
directly into kernel, gcc 3.4.3, voodoo 3 3000 16mb agp.
tdfxfb framebuffer console works fine( video=1024x768-16 at 100 ),
but mplayer -vo tdfxfb says "Couldn't map memory areas" and then
exits.
cat /proc/fb says 0 3DFX Voodoo3.

i have no idea what is wrong.

best wishes
