This is rather convenient. I have an Epox 8RDA+ as well. What video card are you using in that box?
I'll install mplayer and see if I can replicate (I have an ATI 9800 Pro, but I can easily stuff a number of nvidia cards in there to check).
If you're using an ATI or Nvidia card, are you using the proprietary or opensource drivers? - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
