<br>I do get to see the picture after using the suggested workaround:

Don't use workaround, downgrade gcc to 2.95.x

<br>But I now get a ringing sound when the soundtrack is played.
<br>This problem was not there when I was not getting the picture.
<br>The sound then was clear to a layman.
<p>I am running mplayer on a 800MHz Pentium-III, 128MB RAM and i810 chip
<br>set, no audio/video card, RedHat Linux 7.0 (2.2.16-2).

I suggest upgrading kernel to 2.4 and use SSE (Arpi: what is MMX2?)
<blockquote TYPE=CITE>
<br>Would playing at a different bpp (not 16bpp) with the default configure
<br>(sans workaround) be of any help?
<br>(I need help to change the bpp of X11).</blockquote>
in /etc/X11/XF86Config-4 (if you use X 4.0)
<p>Section "Screen"

Defaultdepth 16 -
change it to 24 or 15
