[Frank Kumro]

The video option failed with the error

Run 'xvinfo' to verify its Xv support and read DOCS/HTML/en/video.html#xv!
See 'mplayer -vo help' for other (non-xv) video out drivers. Try -vo x11
Error opening/initializing the selected video_out (-vo) device.

and once running the command
$ xvinfo
X-Video Extension version 2.2
screen #0
 no adaptors present

Damn ati

and the sound option -ao sdl just kills all sound...
