[MPlayer-users] Fedora Core1, nvidia drivers, MPlayer on the console - no video, audio-O.K.

[peter kostov]

I have tried your suggestion:

I have started mplayer whith that comand:
mplayer -vo xv videofile
and it returns that message:

vo: couldn't open the X11 display ()!
Error opening/initializing the selected video_out (-vo) device.

Dropping just the "-vo cvidix" from the command 
"mplayer -vf format=uyvy -vc divxds -vo cvidix videofile.avi" allso didn`t worked
It returns that:
