KMS with ati opensource driver & running mplayer in framebuff [SOLVED]

Hi is it possible use mplayer in CLI with ATI KMS? Before I was able to run mplayer & w3m with images in CLI whit different framebuffer driver. Now when I try to do it with KMS the videos wont start.

Thx. I got them both working. However I must run them as root, any idea why is that?

Edit: Adding user to video group solved problem.
