Hi all,

I can't fullscreen with mplayer, if I select "x11" the mplayer only work in "normal size".

System information:
  1. Vedeo card: nvidia 9500gt
  2. Vedeo card driver: open source "nv"
  3. OS: freebsd amd64 7.2 r
  4. Everything is installed from ports.

My installation process:
Code: 
# cd /usr/ports/multimedia/mplayer
# make rmconfig
# make config
# make install clean

Code: 
$ cat /var/db/ports/mplayer/options | grep -i xv
WITH_X11XV=true
WITH_XVID=true

Code: 
mplayer -vo help | grep xv 
xv	X11/Xv
xvidix	X11 (VIDIX)

Seems "xv" is compiled in, but when I select "xv" from the video list and play some "avi" file, I always get an error message:

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

What does your xorg.conf look like? More specifically what video driver are you using?
 
The nv driver does not support xvideo on newer models of nvidia cards. If you use the nvidia driver, xv should work.

Alternatively, you can use the x11 output device in mplayer, but specify 'zoom=yes' in ~/.mplayer/config in order to get mplayer to scale the video.

EDIT: Sorry, I see now that you are using amd64. You will not be able to get xv support, then, even if it's compiled into mplayer, due to the lack of support for xv in the open source driver.

The compuer is new and the video card is new, I bought it a month ago just for freebsd. :e

I added 'zoom=yes' to my .mplayer/config and select 'x11', now it work! :e

nvidia was a bad choice for FreeBSD/amd64 :-)

But at least you can scale the videos with x11 now. Mind you, it will use quite a big more CPU than it would with Xv, but as long as your machine is fast enough, you should be fine.
