MPlayer interrupted by signal 2 in module: sleep_rtc
[root@vl121-019 pawnshark]#
(the "MPlayer interrupted by signal 2 in module: sleep_rtc" was a ctrl+c key combination)
I am new to linux and I am really clueless on what to do. Any help will be greatly appreciated
But does it work if launched from an X display ? it seems that it cannot locate the frame buffer driver (/dev/fb0), maybe because frame buffer support is missing.
Yea, that output was open from an X Window (Terminal in Gnome 2.4) As for the frame buffer, I'm not sure how it is found. I know that I just got my ATI 9600xt video card drivers 3.7.0 working under XFree 4.3.0 recently, and that could also be the problem. Do I have to set something in fglrxconfig or something else?
