Well done. Have it running in the background as I type this. I started it with gmplayer in the console.mikeb wrote: so decided a while ago to have a go at building it myself.

I have three questions though.
1. When I try to go to full screen the picture remains the same size but there are black bands all around to fill out to the full screen size. In other words the picture does not expand to full screen.
2. When playing a .avi file I get the following popup message:
Invalid and inefficient vfw-avi packed B frames detected
3. When playing a .flv file I get the following popup message:
skipping flv packet: type 18, size 2141`1, flags 0
Any ideas?

Ok sounds like its set to X11 rather than xv for video output OR you are using vesa/xvesa.... means you have no accelerated stretching.
Look in the preferences under video.
2 and 3 are badly made videos (2 is a common problem when encoding on windows and 3 is corrupted flv conversions)....unfortunately they are all to common.... I have never looked but there may be a parameter to supress warning messages. loglevel= one comes to mind.... if it helps you could add it to whatever launches gmplayer .
Most of the time its a case of click ok and carry on....

Does april not have the sfs converter ... oh well..
Anyway for such bleeding edge you might prefer the gmplayer built from the same sources as the one in lucid instead.

Of course dependency wise nothing is certain

Ok if you go to nvidia it builds the driver from you...but then you need kernel sources and devx etc....
Its usually much easier to get one already built for your puppy.... just one that matches the version you downloaded.
Apart from video acceleration you have full screen acceleration for flash and 3d game ability.
But only if you want such things.
