Re: Round two mPlayer

[Brian Keefe <bkeefe@gmail.com>]

Ok, I have chased around the 'net for a few hours looking for a
solution.  I have the following:


ATI Mobility Fire GL 7800

I have googled 68^68 ways for xv extensions and variations on this
driver name.  I have been to driver heaven

 (http://www.driverheaven.net/showthread.php?t=67294) 

but remain in driver hell.  Does anyone have anymore bread crumbs to
help me pickup the trail?  I can sorta play video through the command
line.  However, the video seems distorted and semi-corrupted.  I can't
tell if that is because the files are bad or the driver/software has a
problem.

This is close to a solution.  I just don't know how to find my way to
the end of this puzzling trail.

Thanks in advance for any time you may spend helping me.
