Thanks for the response.  Unfortunately, it doesn't solve my problem (tri=
ed it=20
with mplayer, kaboodle & xine).  I also tried to turn off hw acceleration=
 in=20
X) via 'Option "no_accel"' in XF86Config.  No dice.

One thing that does work, however, is using mplayer with the '-vo x11' sw=
itch. =20
This lets me see video - but I cannot scale the window.  Hrmph.  -fs simp=
ly=20
gives me a black screen with the video in the center, at original size, w=
hich=20
is not nice on a hi-res laptop!

Anyone out there with ideas?

Mark Phillips - what player were you using, and did it work fully?
