I just installed a new Compaq P1210. The only thing I needed to adjust was the horiz and vert sync rates in /etc/X11/XF86Config. I got the rates just fine. The monitor works beautifully.
I've been using mplayer with no incidents for the past year or so. For some reason, it just doesn't work now. It will bring up the movie for about 1 second, then it will close the movie. I just upgraded to the latest version of MPlayer and it installed without a hitch. Here's what's happening:

It can be a bug in the MPlayer code _or_ in your drivers _or_ in your
gcc version. If you think it's MPlayer's fault, please read
DOCS/HTML/en/bugreports.html and follow the instructions there. We can't and
won't help unless you provide this information when reporting a possible bug.
Xlib: unexpected async reply (sequence 0x61)!
I can't understand the bad allocation error. I've never gotten this in the past, and there's nothing changed but the monitor itself. The vid card is the same, and works very well. Oh, and during the 1 second of movie, there is audio, but no video. For some reason I can use "-vo x11" but it sucks big time. I can't get it to go full screen if I do -vo x11. Any thoughts on why a new monitor would cause that kind of problem?
Thanks.
If I get to that resolution my windows don't fit all on my screen when maximized. I have to mouse around as if on a virtual desktop even though I have that disabled. I'd rather run 1280x1024 if at all possible while being able to play movies in -vo xv. My vid card is a 64mb card so it should be able to play a movie in -vo xv in 1280x1024 I would imagine. Any thoughts on how to get it working as I'd like? My mplayer plugin for Firefox doesn't work either unless I'm on 1024x768 or lower. It works, but then my firefox is huge! I can only view about 1/4 of it at a time. I'd like to also get that to work in 1280x1024 if I can.
