i use it very basic
I got a Nvidia Geoforce 4 card
a sound card wich works better on the OSS interface as on Alsa (no glitches)
on a first ssh session I type
"startx -- -layout TVscreen"
on a second session the commands
"export DISPLAY=:0"
"export PATH=$PATH:/usr/local/bin"
"mplayer -fs -zoom -ao oss MOVIE_TO_PLAY.avi"
this is my X86Config file
I hope this helps...................................
of course this is all very basic, because i want to modify the mplayer.sh
from the linvdr project
to automate resolution, subtitles, autosearching divx cd's for the movie,
adding an automount
etc etc
but these basic commands do the job!
(i've got enough cpu power, so i don't care about other X-programs in the
xinitrc)
I think you just forgot to export the display
