It used to be
Code: 
$gmplayer
If you compiled with GUI. The most current version of MPlayer from their git repo should not
have GUI. X11 support doesn't refer to GUI. It refers to the fact that MPlayer will try to use X server and video drivers as oppose to run in console using frame-buffer.
 
A.Ok.I was thinking that x11 support means gui!!!!.I had xfce4 and when i was opening mplayer from my menu i had a beautifull gui (like power dvd on windows).But i dont like gui so i decided to deintall xfce4 and install fluxbox :)
and now i don't know how to open mplayer from menu.Gmplayer is not inside my /usr/local/bin :(

Oko, you are totally lost, offical mplayer repo is svn, git repo is something completely else.

It is shame how some "linux folks" are developing software.
 
Last time I checked, mplayer's git repo wasn't "something completely else". Sure it isn't identical to svn repo, but it should have all of the stuff that's in svn + "something else". They should both give you working mplayer.

It's not an issue of how some "linux folks" are developing software. It's an issue of "some folks" not agreeing about how stuff should be done.

To be honest, I didn't know which revision control system they use. I assumed git since those are Linux fox. If it is svn so be it. I still use CVS without hope that OpenCVS will be completed any time soon. You can check ports@openbsd about GUI and other discussions (no formal release model) related to MPlayer.
 
On my freebsd 8 stable laptop with VESA console, I can run $ mplayer -vo sdl video_file under video console.
vesa console resolution 1280x800x32, the mplayer play more smooth than on X.

The 8 stable and above version's Vesa driver is as fast as the linux framebuffer
with
Code: 
device vesa 
option X86BIOS
in the kernel.
Try it and test!
 
Now i saw that i have not ticked X11 support on mplayer flags.I was thinking that i did it but i did not!.I checked x11 support and try to recompile mplayer but i take this error:

But i have ticked "Enable GTK2 graphical user interface with X11" flag
Probably if i will not install x11 support,GTK2 graphical user interface which i guess means gmplayer will not work properly.Write?
and how i resolve the error that i take on X11 flag?
