[MPlayer-users] cvidix, nvidia, and tv-out?

[Jason Tackaberry]

I have a nVidia GF4 MX440 with a TV connected (as the only head) via S-
video.  When I boot up, everything is displayed to the TV, X works with
tv-out using nvidia's binary drivers, and everything looks fine.

When I specify -vo cvidix, everything appears to be normal on the
console where I've shelled in.  The movie starts playing, yet I see
nothing change on the TV: it still shows the login prompt.

I attached a monitor to this system and the result is the same, so I
don't think it has anything to do specifically with TV-out.  I do get
some kind of error about libdha, but it doesn't appear to be fatal.
Here is the relevant output from mplayer:

It then starts playing the movie, only I don't actually see it.

Anyone have any suggestions?

Thanks,
Jason.
