MPLAYER VESA problem (Announce)

I am sure now that the VESA problem appears because the video mode list is overwritten by the bug in MPLAYER DOS port.

I wrote a TSR which copies the video mode list to another memory location and then returns a pointer to that memory in the buffer passed by the program to VESA function 4f00h. In this case MPLAYER port works even with those cards whose VESA code returns the video mode list in the buffer passed to function 4f00h.

There are other known problems: text must be redirected, slow speed etc.
