Got my new Radeon installed in my new Mplayer box and want to use VESA mode for display. It all seems to work (even TV-Out!!), however the picture seems to be purple where it should be black.
Hmmmm. After a reboot (and connecting the cable to the TV -- I was just using the monitor before) the problem seems to have gone away. I am not convinced that mplayer is using the BES on the Radeon card. How can I determine if it is? Mplayer seems to be using up 80+% of an AMD K6-300. I am sure I saw it around 40% last night. The output on the TV also looks as jerky as my non-BES TV-Out card. I was thinking "sweeping" motions would be a lot smoother with this card due to the BES. The command line I am using is: [root@pvr root]# /usr/src/mplayer/k6/mplayer -fs -ao alsa5 -vo vesa:lvo:/dev/radeon_vid <mpeg_file> b. -- Brian J. Murrell
