You did not say what player you are using.

If you are using Xine to play videos and you get no picture and Xine does not give you an error dialog about the video codec missing I would check the video card type.

I had a problem just like that and found that my video card was the problem. It is an on-board video card that uses shared system memory. Once I found that I found that xine has a few different options for running if a Frame Buffer video environment.

In Xine you use the --video-driver option but I don't know what options are available or what Mplayer would use.

Kaffiene uses xine-lib, that would be the same as Xine-Ui but the options maybe different. I think Suse uses Kaffiene by default.

Hi all,

I installed Suse 10 on a friend's machine and did the usual de-crippling of 
video. He can play DVD, MPG, AVI but WM9 gives him sound with no picture. The 
files are fine as they play on my Gentoo machine. I tried over writing his 
win32 codecs with mine with no change. Any ideas?

Thanks,
Nick
