[Mplayer] Blue screen with TV Out

I can view movies ok with the latest Mplayer 1.0pre8-1. But when I use TV Out, the movie is totally blue. I can't see anything, just plain blue screen. The sound is working ok then. Running gmplayer from a console does not give any different output when TV Out is enabled or disabled.

Have X.org 7.1 with NVidia drivers 8774, GeForce 4 MX videocard. In xorg.conf I have two metamodes: Option "MetaModes" "1024x768, ; 1024x768, 1024x768" so I can switch between monitor only and TV. So with only the monitor everything is ok, as soon as I switch to the MetaMode with TV on the movie goes blue.

Re: [Mplayer] Blue screen with TV Out

using another video driver (from mplayer preferences) solved it.
