This worked fine, thanks

cd x264
[root at coyote x264]# ./configure && make && make install
Found no assembler
Minimum version is yasm-0.6.1
If you really want to compile without asm, configure with --disable-asm.
Installed yasm-6.2 & -devel

Which advises:
Please check mtrr settings at /proc/mtrr (see DOCS/HTML/en/video.html#mtrr)
And which are:
[root at coyote mplayer]# cat /proc/mtrr
reg00: base=0x000000000 (    0MB), size= 2048MB, count=1: write-back
reg01: base=0x080000000 ( 2048MB), size= 1024MB, count=1: write-back
reg02: base=0x0c0000000 ( 3072MB), size=  512MB, count=1: write-back
reg03: base=0x0dff00000 ( 3583MB), size=    1MB, count=1: uncachable
reg04: base=0x100000000 ( 4096MB), size=  512MB, count=1: write-back
reg05: base=0x0e0000000 ( 3584MB), size=  256MB, count=1: write-combining

But it then built and installed.  Now, do I need to find & build 
the /usr/lib/plugins/mplayer-plugin.so and all its friends?  Aha, found it, 
and updated that to 3.55 from 3.50.  And it appears to be working.

But whats the deal with the mtrr check?

Thanks.
