It doesn't tell me my computer is too slow, it just gives me a rather pixelated image. People look like there made of burlap. The output from mplayer has two things that look like error messages to me. > Failed to open VDPAU backend libvdpau_nvidia.so: cannot open shared > object file: No such file or directory > [vdpau] Error when calling vdp_device_create_x11: 1 and > [VD_FFMPEG] DRI failure.0.051 ct: -0.030 0/ 0 ??% ??% ??,?% 0 0 I don't even know why it looks for VDPAU. I have a GeForce card. Presumably things would go badly if it found libvdpau_nvidia.so . Once upon a time, I knew what DRI failure meant, but I've forgotten and googling turns up questions but no answers. /var/log/Xorg.0.log includes, among other things: > [ 86356.565] Dac detection success > [ 86356.565] (II) RADEON(0): Output: DVI-0, Detected Monitor Type: 0 > [ 86356.565] Unhandled monitor type 0 > [ 86356.565] (II) RADEON(0): EDID for output DVI-0 from mplayer -V, the last lineis > vo: x11 uninit called but X11 not initialized..
