Any interesting output when you run "gmplayer" from an xterm? I have added a PLF source to my urpmi, and use primarily their RPMs: mplayer-fonts-1.0-7mdk mplayer-gui-0.90-10plf mplayer-skins-1.3-3mdk mplayer-0.90-10plf mencoder-0.90-10plf win32-codecs-1.4-1plf I run KDE 3.05a on 9.0 with these RPMs, and mplayer (including the gui) works fine here, FWIW. I particularly like the CornerMP skin ... :) To add PLF to urpmi, see the http://plf.zarb.org/~nanardon page.
