Thanks Dominik, I managed to fix it. Sorry for not enabling to upgrade
my FC5. It is my home PC, but I use the same version in my work place,
I have to keep the FC5 at my home.

Anyway, the reason I have to upgrade the MPlayer from RC1 to RC2 is
that I could not play a DVD movie, if I specify -fs, it repeats the
same content in three columns. If I specify -fs and -vo x11, it fixs
the three columns ghost, but the video frame is reduced to a small
screen. The audio then choked and the packets dropping:

Too many video packets in the buffer: (4096 in 8251789 bytes).
Maybe you are playing a non-interleaved stream/file or the codec
failed?
For AVI files, try to force non-interleaved mode with the -ni option.
a52: CRC check failed!
a52: error at resampling

I posted the above errors weeks ago and people on the list advised me
there was bugs in rc1 and asked me to upgrade to rc2. But, it runs the
same error as in rc1 (I installed rc1 in an RPM binary file).

Any advice please?

Thank you.

Kind Regards,

Jim
