Error opening/initializing the selected video_out (-vo) device.

gmplayer -vo help Try one, and if gmplayer starts, edit the settings for videoout.

OK, I figured out that I need the X11, but I guess I'm a bit slow, where do I edit the settings for this? Thanks, JIM

Yes, thats mplayer.

Out of all of the video output drivers, x11 is the slowest. The preferred order of choice (I am omitting framebuffers here) is xv, gl2, gl, x11. I am suprised that your card does not support xv. What is the output of "xvinfo"?

I get this when I do xvinfo: X-Video Extension version 2.2 screen #0 no adaptors present JIM -- Jim Hatridge Linux User #88484 Ebay ID: WartHogBulletin ------------------------------------------------------ WartHog Bulletin Info about new German Stamps http://www.WartHogBulletin.de Many Enemies -- Much Honor!

When gmplayer is running, just right click, select Preferences, go into Video and you'll see a list of the available video output drivers. Try out each one (you have to close mplayer for each to take effect) and pick the one that works best for you.
