The freshrpms ffmpeg is huge! 2MB vs livna's 170kb. It seems to
conflict with other packages:

So I removed mplayer completely and reinstalled from Fresh. Now it
starts up, but throws this when I open files from Konqi (I use KDE):
Error opening/initializing the selected video_out (-vo) device.

Starting mplayer from the command line works perfectly, but I'd like
to have it open files from Konqi as well as we watch lectures on this
lappy and I don't want anybody to see Fedora half-broken! (I'm slowly
convincing others to switch. I've got one guy using Kubuntu right
now).
