when I tried to use the xvidix driver for mplayer, I get "Error occurred during pci scan: Operation not permitted" error for normal user, but root is ok.
How can I fix it?

Hm, you are not member of the 'video' group. Try adding yourself to the video-group.
Assuming that this does *not* fix your problem:
PPS. Working log:
$ gmplayer -dr -vo xvidix "$mfilm" No vidix driver name provided, probing available ones (-v option for details)!
[...]
[nvidia_vid] Error occurred during pci scan: Operation not permitted [cyberblade] Error occurred during pci scan: Operation not permitted [VO_SUB_VIDIX] Couldn't find working VIDIX driver. Error opening/initializing the selected video_out (-vo) device.
Adding the -v option didn't get me much details:
[mga] probe [mga] Error occurred during pci scan: Operation not permitted vidixlib: PROBING: /usr/lib/mplayer/vidix/mach64_vid.so [mach64] Error occurred during pci scan: Operation not permitted [...]
What happens with multiple -vvvv?
And the file /tmp/mplayer when running 'strace -f -eopen -o /tmp/mplayer mplayer -dr -vo xvidix ...' would be interesting as well.
