Hi,

What about a new list, called Mplayer-MGA-users  :)

You will see green matrix noise if running mga driver in textmode.
You must using it under X, or framebuffer (graphic-mode) console.

It's a driver bug, or you are using the 'normal' X instead of the
X-over-framebuffer version (Xxfb)

But, if you are running X, then why do you use mplayer/mga
on the console? And if you doesn't like X then why do you have
to switch to X??? Choose a 'platform': fbconsole or X, and don't
mix them, it's not ok.

I have no experiences with framebuffer console, because i really hate
it (80x25 textmode forever! :)), i'm using it only for mga TV-out.
