Details

Selection of either mplayer or kmplayer produces no video display, only the video window. Mplayer then cannot be de-selected and hangs until reboot.

Kmplayer will deselect but does not display any video.

Kernel 2.6.13.4-1 and previous kernel2.6.13.3-1 both exhibit the problem.

Tried remove and re-install with no change. Forum post gives detail on /proc/cpuinfo.

Mplayer has played well in the past two years but cannot employ it in the latest Udev kernels.

same problem here since the 2.6.14 upgrade.

WFM on 2.6.13 and 2.6.14.

check that your nvidia/ati drivers are installed properly and maybe try reinstalling them.

Ati drivers OK for kaffeine and atun pkgs and kaboodle. Can't see it as an Ati problem, therefore...

Mplayer and kmplayer now playing correctly following the download and install of hwdetect and initscrips-10 in both 2.6.13 and 2.6.14 kernels.

Perhaps someone else can confirm this corrective action....

Ray: Are you using the same video drivers now (detected by hwdetect) as before? Sounds to me like an isolated issue... wrong video driver?

paniq: do you use ATI too?

Can you guys share driver info?
Comment by Ray Clancy (lilsirecho) - Saturday, 03 December 2005, 00:19 GMT
The drivers have not been changed...xorg lists radeonR200 as it always has...the issue is moot at this time since my systems are playing mplayer...probably caused by improper audio selection since mplayer is quite selective and sensitive to parameter selection.

One issue concerns the hwdetect install order...solved by placing the module affected in rc.conf MODULES which has priority over hwdetect.

Thanks for response.
