1) In the past couple of days I finally figured out what I was doing wrong with hardware acceleration (causing lack thereof) with an onboard Intel GPU in my HTPC machine. I've applied the same fix to my desktop. mplayer now has 5 video output modes that actually show a picture...
xv X11/Xv gl_nosw OpenGL no software rendering x11 X11 ( XImage/Shm ) gl OpenGL gl2 X11 (OpenGL) - multiple textures version Which one has the best playback ability? Is there a test program or a "torture test" video file I can use for testing? 2) When I start up mplayer, the diagnostics include... "MMX2 supported but disabled" There is no "mmx2" in the USE flags or in /proc/cpuinfo vendor_id : GenuineIntel cpu family : 6 model : 15 model name : Intel(R) Core(TM)2 Duo CPU E4600 @ 2.40GHz stepping : 13 .................... flags : fpu vme de pse tsc msr pae mce cx8 apic sep mtrr pge mca cmov pat pse36 clflush dts acpi mmx fxsr sse sse2 ss ht tm pbe nx lm constant_tsc arch_perfmon pebs bts aperfmperf pni dtes64 monitor ds_cpl est tm2 ssse3 cx16 xtpr pdcm lahf_lm dtherm ...and I have "-march=native" in my CFLAGS.
