Have now got xine, ogle and mplayer installed and running under 8.2 on
my Athlon 2200 with G-Force 2 card, thanks to urpmi and PLF (urpmi
really rocks!), the first time ever for mplayer. One problem, which
may have been discussed in the list already, is a slight jerkiness in
the display, which I assume has something to do with using the generic
video driver rather than Nvidia's own. It happens with all three
programs whereas xine and ogle have always run very smoothly on my old
500 MHz Pentium III with the Voodoo 3 2000 card and Mandrake 8.1.
Anyway, that is not the question. Does the mplayer gui work for
anybody? It blows up my computer; a nasty clunk from the hard drive,
a BSOD, and an empty error box, then nada. Forced to reboot at that
stage. Tried gmplayer and gui=yes in the config file. Both cause a
problem.
