I'm trying to get mplayer to work on a 9.1 Mandrake system. After going
through the logs and correcting a bunch of problems, I am unable to receive video
output and get the following error message from mplayer:
"Error opening/initializing the selected video_out (-vo) device.
vo: X11 running at 1024x768 with depth 24 and 32 bpp (":0.0" => local
display)"
I ran 'xvinfo' as suggested in the logs and got the following:
X-Video Extension version 2.2
screen #0
no adaptors present
The video card is SiS650/651/740 GUI 2D/3D Accelerator. Mandrake
indicates the kernel module is "unknown" and media class is
display_vga.
"mplayer -vo help" produced a list of 22 available drivers, including
xv, x11, ggi, and so forth.
The other remaining error concerns fonts:
font: can't open file: $HOME/.mplayer/font/font.desc
font: can't open file: /usr/share/mplayer/font/font.desc
My system doesn't have the file "/font/font.desc" -- I did a search and
it doesn't appear to exist.
I installed mplayer from a Mandrake 9.1 binary,
mplayer-0.90-0.rc4.5.91mdk.i586.rpm.
Any ideas on how I can get video output from mplayer?
Thanks,
deedee
