Sounds like you either need to install the proprietary Linux drivers for your graphics card from the card or chip maker's web site...and/or... I assume that your monitor is not too dark 100% of the time? If so, try to adjust the brightness using the monitor's button controls, if the brightness and contrast controls don't make the thing brighten up when cranked to 100% then your picture tube has given up and it is time for a new monitor :-( -Sheldon ----- Original Message ----- From: "Alidar" <alidar@optonline.net> To: <suse-multimedia-e@suse.com> Sent: Thursday, January 29, 2004 9:47 PM Subject: Re: Fwd: Re: [suse-multimedia-e] Xine playing avi files
Thanks for all the great replies...I visisted the packman site and got mplayer running fine...it's playing all my avis nows...thanks a bunch guys.
Now I just gotta figure out how to make the video brighter...it's all too dark. In xp I can advanced desktop settings and adjust to settings for my video card...but as far as I can tell...there's no options like this in suse. I'm still searching through google to come up with something. Turning brightness up mplayer doesn't help at all.
