I have installed MPlayer-1.0pre5-2.x86_64.rpm on a vanilla 9.2 install (no patches, no drivers, no updates) and it appears blue. I know of at least one other user with the same complaint. Pictures are here. http://forums.suselinuxsupport.de/index.php?showtopic=10339
Any ideas? J Morris was kind enough to work with me yesterday and to point out that mplayer does indeed work on some installations (his for one), but I have found no resolution. I am leaning towards a hardware incompatibility, but not convinced yet. Thanks for your time.
I installed the same version from sources downloaded from mplayerhq.hu and I have the same problem on 9.1 x86_64. On 9.1 x86, compiled from the same sources, I have the normal colours, however. This has been mentioned here before: http://lists.suse.com/archive/suse-amd64/2004-Aug/0193.html With a reference to a Gentoo issue that was also sent to an mplayer-developer list but didn't get a reply that I could find: http://zebra.fh-weingarten.de/~maxi/html/mplayer-dev-eng/2004-07/msg00292.ht... So I'd bet on an x86_64 incompatibility in MPlayer rather than a SuSE issue. After all, I don't think pre5 fully supports x86_64. I saw in a pre6 changelog that says it will be fully x86_64 compatible when it's released.
