[MPlayer-users] She Working but ...

[mpierce]

Mplayer will not work using the the command mplayer and trying to run 
from the gui as this is using 'xv' but it will work from the command 
line with either:
	(g)mplayer -ao oss:/dev/dsp1 -vo x11 or
	(g)mplayer -ao oss://dev/dsp1 -vo x11 dvd://1

Problem I have is that I need to be able to adjust brightness, 
contrast, etc. I need mplayer to use xv like Xine is doing as I can 
adjust these feature but mplayer will not work if I substitute -vo xv 
as it gives me this error message:

Couldn't find free Xvideo port - maybe other applications keep it 
open. Error opening/initializing the selected video_out (-vo) device!
 
Is there a work around as I have a Nvidia TNT2 Pro card installed (I 
know docs say you don't like Nvidia)? Mplayer installed with the 
following:
