Hi, I compiled Mplayer on ubuntu breezy. It's working fine except that when i change to full screen mode, it runs slowly. The picture moves slowly. I have AMD 64 with MSI K8MMV motherboard. It has unichrome video card. I m using 1280x1024 resolution in vesa mode. I tried changing to VIA Unichrome, but X fails. Can anybody suggest me solution for this. Thanks & regards Manish
Sometime Today, mm cobbled together some glyphs to say:

Don't know about ubuntu, but on my FC3 system, I had to get X binaries with the drm and video drivers for the S3 Unichrome. It's available on the net here: http://unichrome.sourceforge.net/

Vesa wouldn't be the right driver for acceleration. XV allows you to view video in full screen, but needs DRI. As Philip mentioned, check if DRI is enabled on your system with a simple dmesg. BTW a quick search on Ubuntu forums for your S3 Unichrome drivers should give you the answer :) [ I know coz I found it there ]
