Description Qubax 2003-09-15 14:26:59 UTC
i upgraded mplayer from .90 to v91. when using "mplayer -vo xvidix test.mpg" i 
get this output:

~~~~

Playing test.mpg 
Cache fill:  0.00% (0 bytes)    MPEG-ES file format detected. 
VIDEO:  MPEG1  320x240  (aspect 1)  25.00 fps  6553.2 kbps (819.1 kbyte/s) 
No vidix driver name provided, probing available ones! 
vo: X11 running at 1280x1024 with depth 24 and 32 bpp (":0.0" => local display) 
Disabling DPMS 
[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.

~~~~~

with other options, like gl, x11,xv,  it's working. from the output i guess that 
mplayer for some reason tries to find a matrox-card.

my use flags are: "alsa dvd X emacs -esd -arts -kde -gnome"
i tried it with and without "-martox" in the use-flags, with the same result.

i tried the new version in the portage-tree (1.0_pre1), with the same result.

i'm using su to have the permissions as normal user, but as root i've has the 
same problem.

as can be seen in http://forums.gentoo.org/viewtopic.php?t=81812
there are other people with the same problem, using a radeon 9500pro and a 
radeon ve (32mb) (maybe also other graphic-cards, but not mentioned in the 
forum)

hopefully i have given you enough information to find a way to solve this 
problem
