Video not working after update

You was right, I had “the cube”. First I tryed in SMplayer to chose x11 output, but still there was no video output, then I disabled "the cube " and I solved the problem. (Disabling 3d effects cause the x11 to server to restart)

this is my hardware:

I would like to have both mplayer and “the cube”. This is the output of mplayer:

Many users can select x11 and have both the cube and the video. BUT they are not users with PCs with Intel Graphics. I have read of other user’s with the Intel 945 GM having this problem.

I first read (and encountered this myself) in openSUSE-10.3 with an older Fujitsu-Siemens laptop (an Amilo M7400) in the openSUSE-10.3 release notes:

Older Intel Graphics Chips

Older Intel graphics chips are supported by two drivers ( “i810” and “intel” ). The intel driver is the default on openSUSE 10.3 due to the high demand for features like native mode setting (no longer VESA BIOS based) and RANDR 1.2 support.

When updating to openSUSE 10.3, the i810 driver is not exchanged with the intel driver. Use “sax2 -r” to switch to the intel driver.

The intel driver is still not as stable as i810; use “sax2 -r -m 0=i810” to switch back to i810, if you encounter problems that did not occur previously with the i810 driver. In those cases, consider to open a bug report against the intel driver.
I have left 10.3 on that laptop, but it is possible 11.0 has similar problems.

I have not researched this any further, but maybe this will put you on the right trail to investigate this.

In just over 24-hours, I am also off on vacation for over a week, and so will not be checking replies to my forum posts (nor participating threads) until after I get back sometime after 23/24-Sep.

Good luck!

I tryed with “i810” driver but 3D-effects and mplayer don’t work together.
Sorry, would anyone do a list of the intel/ATI chips that work fine with playng videos and with 3D effects?
It should be useful in selecting a new laptop.
