Should one activate this in any way. I thought of using wary as my priority but if it fail to play the music video clips that I like then I have to use DPup or somethign that play them.
Quirky has stopped booting so I must have experimented too much.
I am using Acer D250 a Netbook 10.1"
I just checked, .flv and .mp4 play fine.
If you are using a modern netbook, this is not really what Wary is designed to run on, and you may be using the 'vesa' Xorg driver. Look at the file /etc/X11/xorg.conf to check that.
If using 'vesa', then the 'xv' Mplayer video driver will not work, you must use 'x11' -- right-click for the menu in Mplayer and choose Preferences, then Video tab, then choose 'x11', then restart Mplayer.
Or, if you are only using 'vesa', run the Video Upgrade Wizard (see Setup menu) and install the Intel upgrade PET -- then you can use 'xv' in Mplayer.
I am guessing that this is the problem you are experiencing.
