Couldn’t open: /dev/mga_vid, Error opening/initializing the selected video_out (-vo) device.

i u got this error while trying mplayer to play video on Linux (Kubuntu, Ubuntu or other).

The solution is very simple:

Right click on mplayer window, go to preferences and oopen Video tab and choose correct driver. If you use OpenGL gl driver should be OK.
