  If you own a Matrox G200/G400/G450 card, then please see the <A HREF="video.html#2.2.1.7">2.2.1.7</A>
  section in order to gain big speedup. It is important to do these steps
  _before_ compiling <B>MPlayer</B>, otherwise no Matrox-specific support will be
  built.

  If you plan to use the ProjectMayo's <B>OpenDivX</B> codec, check the
  <A HREF="codecs.html#2.1.2.1">2.1.2.1</A> section before compiling.

  Then build <B>MPlayer</B>:

  It is recommended to browse the output of ./configure , it contains info
  about what will be built, and what won't. You may also want to view
  config.h and config.mak files.

  Though not mandatory, the fonts should be installed in order to gain
  OSD, and subtitle functionality. Download mp_font3.zip (and optional
  language updates) and optional (if exists) language updates.


	mkdir ~/.mplayer/font
	cd ~/.mplayer/font
	unzip mp_font3.zip

  <A NAME=3.1>3.1.  Control from keyboard


    l/r arrows		seek backward/forward 10 seconds
    up or down		seek backward/forward 1 minute  
    p or SPACE		pause movie (press any key to continue)
    q  or  ^C		stop playing and quit program
    o			toggle OSD : none / seek / seek+timer
    /  and *		decrease/increase volume
    m			toggle using master/pcm channel for volume setting
    f			toggle fullscreen (only with -vo sdl)


  <A NAME=3.2>3.2.  Control from LIRC

  Linux Infrared Remote Control - use an easy to build home-brewn IR-receiver, 
  an (almost) arbitrary remote control and control your linux box with it!

     (http://groups.yahoo.com/group/solarisonintel/message/22592)


  <A NAME=6.4>6.4.  StrongARM

  MPlayer is reported to compile on StrongARM. Use the following command line:


  ./configure --target=arm-linux --disable-css --with-x11libdir=/usr/arm/lib
	      --with-x11incdir=/usr/arm/lib --disable-gcc-checking

NOTE: Do *NOT* send bugreports, help & feature requests directly to the authors!
