try a different file type i guess
ive played everything fine on fbdev (divx etc)
x11 is when x (your cpu) does all the work
xv passes a lot of it to the graphics card
scaling in x11 will murder performance
scaling in xv will have no effect on performance as according to my
understanding, the video card does that.
did you compile mplayer or get debs?

No I am not running X as root. I can not get mplayer to work as a normal

However when I run mplayer as root mplayer -vo fbdev I get the following

but mplayer -vo xv and mplayer -vo x11 works as root but not as a normal user.
Any ideas?

are you running x as root?
do other applications all work? could be some device permissions.
does the framebuffer driver work?

Why would root not have a problem with the -vo option but a normal user
would?

the rtc device wouldnt be the problem, its just the real time clock
which mplayer can use to make sure the movies are played at the
correct speed, on my ibook this device doesnt exist and things
run fine - mplayer uses an internal algorithm instead.
your error output isnt very helpful, try a different '-vo' option
that seems the be the problem.

Hello,

guys
could give me some help. I apt-get install from

Everything went fine but I can only play movies if I am root. Here are
the
two printouts I get when I start mplayer
For root
