I've updated, albeit from nerim/marillat, my "old" mplayer
(something like pre3 or so) via aptitude to
1:1.0-pre7cvs20060103-0.1. All went well, no dependency-problems
or so.
I then started without altering anything in the config-files
mplayer. Well the video started as a small window on my screen, no
error-messages or whatsoever. As I don't like viewing videos at
stampsize, I wanted to get it "full-screen". Very nice, the whole
screen went black AND the video played as if nothing had happened in
its stampsize-format further, but now in the very center of the
screen! Whatever I tried, it wouldn't get bigger.
Studying your recommended url and the tips therein there was
regrettably no hint whatsoever on this phenomenon.
Please don't ask me what other programs I have installed between
the "old" and the "new" version of mplayer (all via aptitude of
course), dozens and dozens of them came in.
I run a "clean" testing-system, not mixing anything from Sarge or
Sid into it.
Thanks already for the brainstorming as to where something got
astray.
