I tried with VLC first. In the video output module section the video
output module field was "default". Which didn't work. The are many
options, but the only one which works is "X11 video output". With this
option I can play videos with VLC now! thank you very much!
Regarding totem (I am running totem-xine), well, in totem_config there
are many lines, all commented out. I can't figure out which line changes
the video output, sorry... any suggestion?
As you suggested in another email, I tried mplayer too:
mplayer -vo x11 <file name>
and all clips played fine!
but when I do:
mplayer -vo Xvideo <file name>
I only get sound, no video...
How can I define the correct video output for all applications? is it
possible to do it in some configuration system file?
Thank you again
Regards
Marcelo
