If you want to use the full-screen mode, you need to run mtv as root or mtvp
must be set-uid root. To set-uid root, become root and type:
$ chown root mtvp; chmod +s mtvp
For details, see file /usr/doc/mtv/README-Fullscreen
**** SECURITY WARNING!!! ****

a user to perform privileged operations. Therefore if you have a system that
must be secure, you must remove the 's' flag (set-uid) of mtvp with:
