Hey!

I have a small problem with mplayer. It always displays movies in small window. Changing to full screen doesn't help - there appears big black frame around still small movie window. Using -geometry and -zoom options also doesn't help. The problem is probably in video output driver. Available drivers are:

dga DGA ( Direct Graphic Access V2.0 )
null Null video output
mpegpes Mpeg-PES file
yuv4mpeg yuv4mpeg output for mjpegtools

I found somewhere information that I should try xv or gl2 drivers, but obviously they are not installed. How can I install them?

Thanks,
Jacek

Compile mplayer with the 'xv' use flag and make sure you are using it as the output video device.

ie vo=xv

To make mplayer do that every time, run
