Hi, I hope this is the right place to post this query! I think MPlayer is great - it's the only player that I have been able to get to run reliably on my Laptop (RedHat 8) straight from compilation. Well done developers! Flushed with success I tried the GUI version. It compiled ok with the --emable-gui option to the configure file and I made the link as set out in the documentation. The GUI version runs (albeit with a font error because I haven't installed subtitle fonts!) but when I try and load a file to run I get the following: "Fatal error! -- Error opening/initializing the selected video_out (-vo) device" I am mystified. I am using an Intel830M video card and the command line version works fine and doesn't complain. Anybody have any ideas?
