problems playing video files with mplayer
Hello,
after reading many posts about playing different video and audio file types under linux i have installed mplayer since it is said to play almost anything. Unfortunately in my case this is only true for audio files. Everytime i try to play a video file the program crashes with the following error message:
Error opening/initializing the selected video_out (-vo) device.
here's the full output after starting mplayer :

I am using SuSE9.1 and i am a newbie to linux so i would really be very grateful for any help
with this because it is really getting on my nerves that i still have to use windows to view video
files.
- i installed the win32 codec pack to try to make kaffeine play the files but this was also negative....... argh.
