mplayer problem

mplayer ./configure is nothing, configure file don't exist and not will be a reproducible file.

You must edit the file:
/home/your_user_name/.mplayer/config
and add or change the "vo" value as:

vo=xv,x11,null

Hello.

Your error (thank you for the details) suggests you need to be using a different video output device.

From the terminal, run
mplayer -vo help

to see a list of possible devices. try playing a video using each of xv, x11, gl, gl2 to see which works best. eg
mplayer -vo xv video.mpg

Then on deciding, edit ~/.mplayer/config and/or /etc/mplayer/mplayer.conf and add a line similar to the follow to specify the default device:
vo=gl

I imagine automatix has specified a device you do not possess as the default, so you may need to remove/edit a line starting vo=

I will try it out now and post the result.
thank you very much.
