Ive been trying to get mplayer to work with Gnome (2.4 kernel) but when I open the program with video I get the following errors

Code:
 cannot initialise video driver

Code:
 could not initialise video filters (-vop) or video output (-vo)


following the advice on another forum I tried running gmplayer as root, but got the following error
Code:
 sorry this color depth is not enough


the only file type I have available right now iis divX and that is what I am trying to open.

Im guessing there is a problem with the video driver, but as a new user Im not sure how to correct/configure the driver settings

any help is greatly appreciated

Which video driver did you use? If you didn't specify the -vo argument at all, try running mplayer with "-vo help" to see which drivers are available.
