MPLAYER compiler with D**PP ... but (DOSX)

I have the same problem on 2 of my computers with the same error
message. I have a TNT2 GFX card, which is 100% VESA 3 compliant.
I've also noticed that it is possible to play most movies if
you redirect the output to null! Try:

mplayer movie.mpg > nul

The error message still appears, but only for a limited time.
After 5-10 sec the playback actually starts. Also, I can not
control the resolution which is set by the player. It seems
to depend on the actual resolution of the movie.

I have also placed the standard allegro configuration file
ALLEGRO.CFG in the BIN directory and configured it for my
system. Also, I found it interesting that MPLAYER prints a
portion of this file to the screen when it starts. Strange.
