Hot diggity, dog!! Well, I tried and tried and failed until I finally got it right! I used your stepbystep, Lonnie and after I got the latest of everything like you said to do, I compiled. I got right up to xine-ui and got errors about aalib. I checked and I had it. I tried the other front-end and got some major error there. I gave up. I tried lots of stuff to get mplayer to work. Well, today I gave compiling xine-ui one more shot and this time I looked in aptitude and found there is more than just plain aalib - there's aalib-dev and aalib-bin. I install both with apt-get and then configured xine-ui. Bingo! And it works flawlessly! This is terrific. Of course this is on top of the upgrade to a geforce2 agp video card and using the nvidia drivers. Man, this was a fun learning experience. I had just about everything wrong possible, but got it all sorted out. Thanks so much for the help. You are absolutely right that xine works where mplayer wouldn't. Btw, can you tell me how to make the player disappear when the movie is going? I poked around on the thing and couldn't find it.
