You da man !! I first checked out the command you gave and I have a lot of options listed. After reading the man page, should I mention that thing is HUGE, I then opened kmplayer and checked out the options there. I selected the OpenGL driver and it now works. It goes from completely black to blindingly white. Now I can watch my shows and see something besides the light bulbs. O_O THANKS MUCH !! Dale :-) :-)
