[semi-solved]mplayer completely wacko

Several problems with mplayer after installing it:
when I start it up-
# gmplayer

It also fails to load the gmplayer controls window.

trying to change skins results in -crash

when I try to play a video, the video begins playing and-

AVI file format detected.
VIDEO:  [DIVX]  640x480  12bpp  23.976 fps  888.6 kbps (108.5 kbyte/s)

The video is then set to a resolution of something like 600x5

Any help with these?:

Re: [semi-solved]mplayer completely wacko

pacman says I have the latest:

:: mplayer-1.0rc1-7.1: local version is up to date. Upgrade anyway? [Y/n] y
resolving dependencies... done.
looking for inter-conflicts... done.

1.0rc1-4.2.0 is listed as the version under mplayer though

Re: [semi-solved]mplayer completely wacko

Can you try another vo setting?

Exemple:

mplayer -vo x11 file.avi

What do you have in your config?

cat ~/.mplayer/config

Re: [semi-solved]mplayer completely wacko

1.) Does this happen for every video or only particular ones?

2.) Have you tried toggling either that OpenGLOverlay or VideoOverlay options (or both) in xorg.conf ?

3.) Does mplayer work at all with a generic display driver ?  I don't have any ATI cards, so I don't know if the radeon driver works with it.

Your X log may tell you why XFree86-VidModeExtension is not loading.  As for the GDK error, it's one I've never seen before.  (Your post is actually the first google result for several similar queries on it ...)

The mplayer output suggests that it's trying to scale the video and not finding a suitable resolution.  Though I do not know why it needs to scale or would be trying to begin with.

1.) All videos

2.) Yes, neither change any of the problems with mplayer.

3.) I haven't tried the opensource ati driver, as its poor in openGL rendering and useless.  But the fglrx version in use works fine with mplayer on my other distros.

Pretty sure the GDK error is related to XGL, as it didn't arrive until after an installation of XGL.

-
This problem occurs the same on a second computer, they both are arch64 using fglrx that is where the similarity ends.

Re: [semi-solved]mplayer completely wacko

For anyone else with this problem.  It is soley related Arch's gmplayer/mplayer package.

Using a frontend like smplayer and it is able to respond and act corretly, or compiling the mplayer package[x86_64] myself worked fine aswell.
