mplayer -vo sgva works fine without X - whether you can build it without X, I don't know and I rather doubt. It makes a fine viewer for lynx, although you have to suid. Since it will no longer work with X if you suid it, I just copy and rename the binary which I suid. -- Lars Eighner [EMAIL PROTECTED] -finger for geek code- http://www.io.com/~eighner/index.html 8800 N IH35 APT 1191 AUSTIN TX 78753-5266 _______________________________________________ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
