mplayer: vidix doesnt recognize ATI Radeon 8500LE


I installed and compiled the sources for MPlayer-0.92 passing --disable-divx4linux to the ./configure script. Having an ATI Radeon 8500LE, I would like to use its TV-out support and the mplayer docs say that vidix is the best choice for this. Setting the proper suid bits for the mplayer binary, I run "mplayer -vo xvidix <filename>" and get this in the video section of the verbose output:

No vidix driver name provided, probing available ones!
vo: X11 running at 1280x1024 with depth 24 and 32 bpp (":0.0" => local display)
[mga] No supported cards found
[mga] No supported cards found
vosub_vidix: Couldn't find working VIDIX driver
Error opening/initializing the selected video_out (-vo) device.

Im running Slack9.1 and therefore XFree86 ver 4.3.0.

Thanks for any tips or solutions.

well, radeon cards are generally not well supported in linux, which drivers are you using? you could always pick up atitvout and use that or you can use the ati-gatos drivers and skip the mplayer tvout part entirely with atitvout it wont be made for your card so i cant say if it will work perfectly (or at all) my radeon 7500 is not supported but i can get tvout using atitvout -f t hopefully one of these options should work try the gatos drivers first
