I'd like to know is there's a way to load X-applications on a X-server without having to load a WM, such as mplayer or some server frontend for samba. I just need an application at the time. My linux box is kind of slow and some applications runs... "well", but maybe if I can just load some really basic X settings I'll be able to work it out.

I'd really like some pointers about configs for my X so I can run mplayer without WM, is it posible?

Some ideas??

you can load applications in X without using a window manager, but they will then all appear at the top left of your screen, on top of each other, and you won't be able to switch between them... are you sure this is what you want??

Another thing you might want to try if you have a slow machine, is to run twvm. This is a very lightweight windowmanager...

There is a directfb output driver for mplayer which outputs onto the kernel framebuffer... thats what you want rather than X.
