[MPlayer-users] Strange MPlayer behaviour...!?

[Frank Neurath]

Hello

I downloaded the latest CVS and compiled it with the options 
--enable-gui and --enable-3dfx, since I use a Voodoo 3 3500 under X11 
Version 4.10. I had no problems compiling, building and using mplayer 
for most of my movies.

1. However, some didn't like the 3dfx videoout and ended with the error:

[----- snip -----]

Sorry, selected video_out device is incompatible with this codec.
----- END OUTPUT ----

Did I miss something?

2. I tried the xv videoout and could play the same avi with this command:

mplayer -fs -vo xv <my_favorite_divx>.avi

It ran fine and produced this output:

...after a manual quit.

But when I tried to view the same avi inside the gui - by commandline
(mplayer -gui -vo xv <my_favorite_divx>.avi) or by selecting it inside 
the gui - the complete x-server restarted. I could pipe the following 
output to a file:
