mplayer problem on FC1

[greg]

hello everybody!!
I've recently installed the mplayer in FC1 running on Dell Latitude notebook. After several hours of configurations, because of my graphic card (Neomagic 256AV), finally, i made it. However, when the playback started, after few minutes, mplayer presented the above message and crashed:

Too many video packets in the buffer3628 in 8390298 bytes)

Although I've researched almost every web site provided by google, i didn't manage to find any accurate solution regarding this problem.

Please if someone has any suggestions i would be very gratefull

(Excuse any languge mistakes...)!

thanx
Greg

hey
i have the EXACT same video card on my laptop, and when i was running FC1, i had similar problems. Here are a couple things you can do:
1)i think you should try running mplayer with "-vo x11" that worked for me
2)try switching drivers to the 256ZX or one of the other 256's by NeoMagic. You get much more fps and its better looking
much luck
