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.

works at the same way, the only difference is thet syncfb uses double

- outout of ./configure
- config.h, config.mak files
- output of  mplayer -v -v -v -vo null yourfile.vob

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