I don't have much knowledge on this, but either: - type xvinfo and check the port number of the Video Overlay of the video out connector, then configure your player to send the video there. for example in mplayer you can do it like this: mplayer -vo xv:port=12345 stuf.ogg There is probably a way to tell X which port is the default XV port, but I don't know how ... or... - use a video driver that is not dependant on XV, for example x11, gl, ... for example in mplayer again: mplayer -vo x11 stuff.ogg a. --- [email protected] irc.goto10.org #pure:dyne
