since I use the fglrx driver in my Fedora 8 (Dell D810, X600 ATI

display a video in fullscreen. Pressing F in mplayer just does paint
the original size video in a black fullscreen. I think it's an issue I
could solve long time ago in my FC3 or FC5, but now I'm stuck with it.

mplayer says:
[VO_XV] It seems there is no Xvideo support for your video card available.
[VO_XV] Run 'xvinfo' to verify its Xv support and read
[VO_XV] DOCS/HTML/en/video.html#xv!
[VO_XV] See 'mplayer -vo help' for other (non-xv) video out drivers.
[VO_XV] Try -vo x11.
Running `mplayer -vo x11 ...` doesn't help there.
I second this, have the same issue. :-( I don't exactly know what is the
problem, but suspect that ATI has a pos binary driver yet again...
<rant>
I should have purchased some nVidia card, their binary driver usually Just
Works... And they do not bragg about supporting open source, as those ATI
hypocrits... :-<

Anyway, until the issue is settled, you can try a workaround if your processor
is fast enough --- it works for me:
mplayer -vo x11 -zoom -fs movie.avi
HTH, :-)
