Hi

When I play divx movies with mplayer I can only get them to play in a small box on the screen and not in full screen. Hvad could it be that I do wrong?

I have a Nvidia TNT2 vidio card and gentoo 1.2

hmm strange when I do that I get:
vo: X11 running at 1152x864 with depth 24 and 32 bpp (":0.0" => local display)
It seems there is no Xvideo support for your video card available.
Run 'xvinfo' to verify its Xv support, and read Xv section of DOCS/video.html !
See 'mplayer -vo help' for other (non-xv) video out drivers. Try -vo x11
Error opening/initializing the selected video_out (-vo) device!

When I try to play files using gmplayer it gives me no errors.

Do you have NVidia's drivers installed? They should give you full xv support.

I don't know. How do I check that. And if I don't have them how do I install them?

Just emerge those :D
Code:
emerge nvidia-kernel

Code:
emerge nvidia-glx


And then add this to your USE line in /etc/make.conf
Code:
USE="xv"


And remerge mplayer
Code:
emerge mplayer

After having done that it still says:

try to identify your gfx card, check your XFree86.0.log

grep -i chip /var/log/XFree86.0.log

Have you modified your /etc/X11/XF86Config ?
You must change
Driver "nv" by Driver "nvidia"
and then restart your xfree
