mplayer - green screen
I'm running SuSE 8.1. I'm trying to play some AVI movie files, which play flawlessly on my Media Player in Windows. If I try and open the files in Konqueror, the task list says Mplayer and I see the hourglass moving for about 30 seconds, then the Mplayer entry disappears and nothing happens. If I open a terminal and use the command "mplayer (filename)", the movie opens with a green screen; the audio works fine. I used Yast to reinstall the Mplayer package, but that did not correct the problem. Has anyone else had a similar experience? Please advise. Thanks. Vince

Although the answers others have provided are probably what you need I would like to mention that I get the same thing after running win4lin in full screen mode. Logging out and restarting X seems to bring it back as it should. A few weeks ago there were very good instructions provided - how to compile/install mplayer, if you want to view dvd's as well I suggest you track that message down -- dh Don't shop at GoogleGear.com!
