True as that is, is think it's kind a of the point. I have been using |
| 42 |
mplayer to see movies since k7-2(I think it as a k7-2 don't remember |
| 43 |
for sure). I've seldom got the error about CPU being to slow and always |
| 44 |
it was another reason for mplayer not being able to play it. I would |
| 45 |
rather say you should look in mplayer -vo help and try different |
| 46 |
drivers until you get the one it suites you. If you have a 3d card |
| 47 |
choose gl or gl2, if not xv. Also please check that you have setup |
| 48 |
preperly the graphics card. |
