[MPlayer-users] Issues w/ mplayer and XvMC

Mon Apr 2 01:13:16 CEST 2007

Hello!

I got RPM's from the EPIA and LIVNA distros for my SP-13000
running FC6 (updated):

xorg-x11-drv-via-devel-0.2.1.svn295-1

respectively.  I set up XvMC:

# cat /etc/X11/XvMCConfig
libviaXvMCPro.so.1
#


and I restarted my X server.  It's up and running in 1920x1200
and detecting the "Pro" (you can probably skip these logs):

So far, everything looks good.

Then I configured mplayer:

What am I missing?  Using "-vc ffmpeg12 -vo xv" works fine.
