# first post and complete n00b Gentoo user - but loving it so far 
Hi,
I searched the forums the last days trying to find the answer to my X/mplayer/graphics card problem, but nothing that helped me so far
My system is Mitac MyNote 8575 laptop, with a SIS650 graphics card.
The only -vo option that works for me with mplayer is x11, not allowing me to play movies in full screen. When I run mplayer -vo xv the complete system just freezes... no CTRL-ALT-Fx to switch to a VC, no CTRL-ALT-backspace... even restarting X after logging in via ssh from remote computer does not get my system back :-/
I know SIS650 cards do not support OpenGL and the sort, but for what I could gather so far, I *should* be able to use xv...
Any help, hints, tricks, references to how-to's would be highly appreciated!
thx,
farry

(PS: I also tried with the DRI section in the end commented out, but that did not help, and I found on some page that it didn't matter if this was on or not if you don' t have DRI anyway, which is the case with SiS650 AFAIK)
