A lot of fun, as I can see! :-) Reading through, as soon as you said that you are using mplayer in a cron job I thought "maybe he should set -vo null", but later I saw that you have already figured that out. :-) That said, I would say that this is not a bug in the Intel drivers, but in mplayer itself. Namely, in the mplayer man page one can find the following comment for the -identify option: "Combine this with -frames 0 to suppress all video output." Arguably, this combination of options should not require the DISPLAY to be set. IOW, mplayer should treat "-frames 0" as a special case. OTOH, as complicated as mplayer already is, patching it for that special case might not be worth the devs effort. Especially if "-vo null" works around it. Anyway, it's an interesting corner-case. :-) Best, :-) Marko -- users mailing list users@lists.fedoraproject.org To unsubscribe or change subscription options: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/users Fedora Code of Conduct: http://fedoraproject.org/code-of-conduct Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines Have a question?
