cheryl could you help me compile this mplayer or scould someone?
I have slackware 8.1 It is installed, so compile isn't the right word, but
it's complaining aabout /dev/mga_vid not being able to be opened.
I'm running kernel 2.2.20 for net support, but everything's working fine
other than mplayer.
if anyone can help, please email me privately.
Thanks.
