Hi,
Interesting. Two questions:
1) Is xv a driver that you use for your video card? The specific
system I'm looking at has this in xorg.conf:
Section "Device"
Identifier "Intel 810"
Driver "i810"
#VideoRam 65536
# Insert Clocks lines here if appropriate
EndSection
Would I choose 'i810' where you used 'xv'?
2) The system in question doesn't have a file
~/.mplayer/mplayerplug-in.conf. Did you create this file or was it
there for you to modify?
Thanks,
Mark
