i am using the standard sound and video output. i have a single filter: vf = pp=ac $ mplayer -nosound # kill X $ mplayer -vo xv # same $ mplayer -vo x11 # plays the file $ mplayer -vo xover # file playing, no video output $ mplayer -vo gl # file playing, no fullscreen $ mplayer -vo gl # file playing, no fullscreen, stuttering but you said it yourself, mplayer has no business killing X no matter what it does. when i log back on: $ pgrep mplayer 14392 5755 here is the trace: obiit.org/f/mplayer.trace.bz2 ps. vlc plays the file -f -- enter any 12-digit prime number to continue:
