I have just built Mplayer-1.0pre1 and attempted to use the xvidix video output. I get this in the output: [radeon] Found chip: Radeon VE QY [radeon] Device is disabled, ignoring vosub_vidix: Couldn't find working VIDIX driver Error opening/initializing the selected video_out (-vo) device. The only radeon device in my machine is a dual head Radeon 7500 VE, with both heads in use. There is also an old Chips & Technologies PCI card, also not disabled. There are no disabled video devices of any kind in my machine. Google turned up this patch: http://mplayerhq.hu/pipermail/mplayer-users/2003-March/031581.html So I tried removing the following lines from radeon_vid.c: if ((lst[i].command & PCI_COMMAND_IO) == 0) { printf("[radeon] Device is disabled, ignoring\n"); continue; } After rebuilding MPlayer, the xvidix output works. So it looks like the code that is meant to determine whether my video devices is disabled is getting incorrect results. --Eric Johnson
