I've just installed <application>MPlayer</application>. When I want to
open a video file it causes a fatal error:
<screen>
Error opening/initializing the selected video_out (-vo) device.
</screen>
How can I solve my problem?

Just change your video output device. Issue the following comand to get
a list of available video output drivers:
<screen>
mplayer -vo help
</screen>
After you've chosen the correct video output driver, add it to
your configuration file. Add
<programlisting>
vo = <replaceable>selected_vo</replaceable>
</programlisting>
to <filename>~/.mplayer/config</filename> and/or
<programlisting>
vo_driver = <replaceable>selected_vo</replaceable>
</programlisting>
to <filename>~/.mplayer/gui.conf</filename>.
