Hm, futher investigation shows that maybe it's bug in my system, not in
mplayer :-/

I compiled an older version that definitely worked, and now it doesn't.

I've updated my system to asplinux 11 (think of it as of fc2/3 -> fc4
update). I don't remember if mplayer worked right after that, I wanted
to rebuild it with shiny new gcc 4.0.2, like the rest of the system.

kernel was updated from 2.6.12 to 2.6.14. svgalib_helper module compiles
and loads without a problem. I've found an older mplayer binary, it
doesn't work too now (no wonder, libdha and radeon_vid.so are loaded
dynamically). There is no extra copy of libdha or vidix drivers messing
in my system.

Can somebody with good understanding how vidix/libdha/svgalib_helper
work all together enlighten me on this situation? Something is
definitely wrong, and I've haven't got any more clues. Please, I need
help.. Running mplayer under sudo isn't a solution, and I can't use xv
driver because its quality really sucks with fglrx.
