Well, today I thought it was time for me to watch a DivX in Linux for the first time, so i downloaded the newest mplayer tar.gz archive.
ran ./configure, make and make install.
But when I tried to open a movie, any movie, the output was all .png files in my home directory. Took some time for me to find out why I could only hear the sound and no picture came up. But when i saw my home dir fillig itself up by screendumps from the movie I was going to watch I got the picture. The output was obviously set to png.
Ok I ran

So i tried to open the movie with
mplayer -vo fbdev <movie> but then my monitor went all crazy because of some frequency issues and i had to restart X. (while I could not see a thing, wow
)
I have the latest drivers from Nvidia installed.
I am running Debian Sarge with the kernel 2.4.18-bf2.4
