Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: mplayer
I have recently upgraded from Edgy, in which mplayer worked flawlessly,
first to Feisty and then to Gutsy. Now when I run mplayer, no window
pops up, no video or sound plays, the file seems to end immediately (it
also says "End of file"). I tried it with an *.mpg.avi and an *.wmv
file. I use Kubuntu and the fglrx driver.
I played around with the options and finally found that "-vo x11" makes
mplayer work.
This is the output without the -vo x11 option:

not the same.
