How? apt-get remove leaves all config files on the system, using apt-get purge will delete them. Any configuration files in you home directory is never removed. gmplayer seems to have a different configuration file than mplayer, maybe the video output is different between the two and that's why the aspect ratio is wrong? > There is also no menu display - i presume this is just not an mplayer feature. > Does any linux dvd player do that?

Not supported by MPlayer, see http://www.mplayerhq.hu/DOCS/HTML/en/faq.html#id2540485 Try any player based on Xine (totem-xine, xine-ui etc.), or ogle/ogle-gui. -- Cheers, Sven Arvidsson http://www.whiz.se PGP Key ID 760BDD22
