I think it's a video driver problem...
 
Im trying to get mplayer and tvtime running

I got both packages isntalled (the portage/emerge for tvtime is outdated and also broken (from my personal experience, so I compiled the latest ver. on there site). anyway....

I run mplayer, and the video window is ok till i move it (even 1px oveR) and then it redraws with a tile of little red X's, same goes for tvtime, I run it and the window is pink until i move it... and poof.. little red x's are tiled all over the thing.

What am I doing wrong? everything else seems to run just fine.

Im running a SiS651 + 962L video chipset (on a Shuttle SS51G barebones XPC).


Here is mplayers console output when trying to play a mpeg video:

Try the "xv" video output. You can see a list with
$ mplayer -vo help

nope :( still get the red X's but thank you for your reply.

Distributions are notorious for breaking mplayer when they package it. Try downloading and installing from the source from the homepage.
