Mplayer Not Working


Today I installed a Geforce 6200 pci-e video card and everything went fine. Only problem it seems is now when I try to view any video clips/files, it gives error message:

Error opening/Initializing the selected video_out (-vo) device.

I can hear the sound but nothing is showing. I'm using the nv driver with Sid and kernel 2.6.18-4-k7

Any ideas on fixing this?

Thnx.

Have you tried different outputs? Like X11, Xv, gl2, etc? Have you tried to diagnose the problem using -v ?

When I go into the Preference, the only video driver I can configure is 'dxr3', all the other choices are grayed out.

Anymore suggestions?

Thnx.
