Bug Description

Binary package hint: mplayer

1) Install mplayer
2) Run mplayer on any video

Expected: Video playback (assuming appropriate codecs installed)

Actual: mplayer gives: "Error opening/initializing the selected video_out (-vo) device."

Fix: Change default mplayer video driver from xmga to x11 or xv.

(I looked for a previous report, but couldn't find one!)
