I am running mplayer-gtk-esound-0.99.5_2 using the default GUI skin 
"Blue."   Running mplayer from the command line, using -vo x11, I've 
been able to open sample clip's which I download.  However, when I try 
to run the same clips via the GUI, I get this error message:

    Error opening/initializing the selected video_out (-vo) device.

Running gmplayer from a terminal, I get a more specific error message.

It seems there is no Xvideo support for your video card available.
Run 'xvinfo' to verify its Xv support and read DOCS/HTML/en/devices.html#xv!
See 'mplayer -vo help' for other (non-xv) video out drivers. Try -vo x11

I copied the sample config file to my personal ~/.mplayer directory.  
Most of the options I left commented out, except for; vo=x11, fs=yes, 
and skin = Blue.  (And yes I commented out the last line of the config 
file.)

Any suggestions would be appreciated.  If more information is needed 
just let me know. 

Thank you,
Ned
