[MPlayer-users] playback problem on Toshiba laptop

[Clayton Cornell]

Running into an interesting problem with video playback on a Toshiba 4010CDT 
laptop.  Video Hardware:  Chips & Technologies HiQVideo 65555.  OS: SuSE 
Linux8.0.

The problem is that when I try to play a video, it is split into 3 parts along 
the top of the display.  Each of the 3 parts look like 1/3rd of the video 
split along the interlace lines.  A window manager box is not drawn around 
the video.  The video plays along at normal speed and the audio plays 
normally.  The only way to stop the video is to hit Esc.  When MPlayer exits, 
the display is not refreshed - the last frame remains (split into the 3 parts 
across the top of the screen) until I manuall refresh the screen.

Any suggestions for where I went wrong, or for something I could try to get 
MPlayer behaving normally?
