I'm starting to think that maybe it is a compiler issue.  Gentoo uses
gcc 3.2.  What versions does RedHat use?  I would assume Redhat 7.3 is still
on gcc 2.95, which the mplayer developers seem to like.

Not sure yet... if it is a compiler issue, then probably the XFree86 driver
guy. :-)

Thanks for your quick reply.
