jojoii@krutihome:~$



the movie seem to be runnig, so i thing it`s not the codecs problem, but there is no video output.
i tryed to change /dev/fb0 permissions, but it doesn`t work.

can anybody help me?
thanx

Well, this is rather a complicated issue. You can find a lot of info on http://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=36832; maybe you already have...
The mplayer documentation generally seems to favour the xv video output option; I don't blame them, it is rather stable. For it to work, xv must be installed *before* compiling mplayer. What I have done (though some of it may be superfluous) is:
- The X11 screen was set using sax2, for 1024x768, 16.7Million colours.
- I set up the frame buffer for 1024x768, 16.7Million colours. This is actually done by altering the boot manager settings (in my case, grub). I used boot option vga=0x318; other options (from the web page mentioned above) are:
# FRAMEBUFFER RESOLUTION SETTINGS
# +-------------------------------------------------+
# | 640x480 800x600 1024x768 1280x1024
# ----+--------------------------------------------
# 256 | 0x301=769 0x303=771 0x305=773 0x307=775
# 32K | 0x310=784 0x313=787 0x316=790 0x319=793
# 64K | 0x311=785 0x314=788 0x317=791 0x31A=794
# 16M | 0x312=786 0x315=789 0x318=792 0x31B=795
# +-------------------------------------------------+
- I installed the following packages:
xorg-x11-Xvnc
xorg-x11-libXv
xorg-x11-server-extra
xvattr
xvkbd
(this was done with Yast2 in Suse Linux 11.0).
- I then compiled / made MPlayer-1.0rc2.
This then worked fine! In principle, one needs to type
mplayer -vo xv [file],
but I have found that mplayer actually finds xv and automatically selects it, at least in my case.

If you have framebuffer working, try adding yourself to the 'video' group (or whatever the group that /dev/fb0 is in).
