hi, some time ago I changed the Debian package in lenny, so that, when it installs, it does not put a line "vo=" into /etc/mplayer/mplayer.conf . The idea is that, without such a line, 'mplayer' will try a sensible list of vo-s, and choose the best.
Unfortunately, this seems to break 'gmplayer'. In absence of that line, when the configs ~/.mplayer/gui.conf are not present, when 'gmplayer' is tun for the first time it sets vo=xmga in ~/.mplayer/gui.conf (and this will be wrong in 99% of the case, nowadays). I am reporting this upstream at http://bugzilla.mplayerhq.hu/show_bug.cgi?id=1044 For the time being, I will change the Debian package so that the default (that is, the autodetect) will be vo=xvmc,xv,x11 This seems to solve the problem. a.
