[MPlayer-users] RH8 no video output

[Aaron M. Hirsch]

I have a rh8 box kernel 2.4.18-14.  I've installed, from source, libcss
and mplayer(yes i did put the win32 codecs in /usr/lib/win32 before
compiling mplayer, yet when i run mplayer -dvd 1 i get audio but no
video.  

mplayer -vo help shows:
Available video output drivers:
        fbdev   Framebuffer Device
        null    Null video output
        pgm     PGM file
        md5     MD5 sum
        mpegpes Mpeg-PES file
        yuv4mpeg        yuv4mpeg output for mjpegtools (to "stream.yuv")
        vesa    VESA VBE 2.0 video output

When i try to use mplayer -vo fbdev -dvd 1 i get:

Anyone have any ideas how I can correct this?  If I don't use -vo fbdev
great sound but no audio....
