gmplayer strange problem.


Hello everyone.
After months trying, I have succeeded in install mplayer.
Things was great first.
All the codecs were downloaded and install properly.
Both xine and mplayer share the same codec and xine work greate.
I start mplayer from console and it work OK, no problem.
Then I start "gmplayer" to get the GUI.
It started fine.
I played a audio file, everything is OK.
But when I open a video file, I 've got a messages say something like cannot open the selected video_output.
I don't understand, why mplayer work great but gmplayer don't?
I think it is just a configure problem since mpalyer can work, do you have any idea to make it work?
I have included the console output here:
Code:
[truongan@localhost ~]$ gmplayer

I had the same problem, this is what worked for me:

rightclick on gui> select preferences> video tab
and sected x11.

Drivers gl and gl2 works better if you
have a glx compatible video card.

regards

That was the solution.
Thanks.
On my computer the driver is xv (X11/Xv) with direct rendering enabled.
