I recently setup my X to work well with the newer version of the ATI driver for my Radeon 3650(thanks adam and dolphin!), however no matter what I do, I can't get mplayer to scale to fullscreen. Something that xine has no trouble with.
I have tried the x11, sdl, xover, gl, and gl2 outputs which all make no difference. Am I missing an output, or is something not working as it should? In particular, why is xine fine, while mplayer stumbles?
As an unrelated question, would anyone know if it is possible to set mplayer to skip to a next file in a directory? From what I could tell, it does not seem to have this functionality built in.
For some reason xv isn't working properly. The output of xvinfo is:
X-Video Extension version 2.2
screen #0
no adaptors present
The card is a HD3650. On another machine with a HD3200 that also runs Slackware 13 (both 32 bit) xv is working properly and mplayer works as expected without any extra configuration.
Are you using at least a 2.6.30.* kernel? And this is the last post I'll make on here that isn't in response to Josh000's original problem. If you want to continue this, we should do so on another thread.
Yeah, Josh, you're drivers are fine (compared to hemp4fuel)... You could use the -zoom option for mplayer, but that will use the CPU to scale. Did you build mplayer yourself, or did you use a prebuilt package? The package that comes with Slackware 13.0 definitely supports xv.
Sure, you don't have Xv support, because you insisted (quite stupidly, IMO) on removing Xorg related packages, and one of those most include Xv prototypes or headers.
Till you actually reinstall all those Xorg packages, I'm not going to respond to any more of your posts asking for help fixing your broken system.
Just because it is not the full install, does not mean it is a broken system.
I have gotten quite a lot out of learning which packages I actually need, and which I don't for compiling applications and having a useable X environment, and will continue to learn with enabling xv support in mplayer.
Anyway, thankyou for your help so far.
Would you have any idea about the other functionality I mentioned, which is not related to the lack of xv support or missing x/ packages?
