What did you do exactly? Please include mplayer -v output logs in
these bugreports...

you must do:
insmod mga_vid.o
mplayer -vo mga test.avi

it must work, if you have g200 or g400 card.

Heh? It's very interesting... just because the mga and syncfb drivers
works at the same way, the only difference is thet syncfb uses double

Ok, if the test prg works, then mplayer should work too with -vo mga

What about mpeg2 files? Arem't they playable with -vo x11 ?
