Check which output driver addresses that port, for example

	% mplayer -vo x11 test.avi
	% mplayer -vo xv test.avi
	% mplayer -vo gl test.avi
	% mplayer -vo sdl test.avi

You can get a list of the available output drivers with

	% mplayer -vo help

Then put the result, for example "vo=gl", in the ~/.mplayer/config
file. Note that direct rendering might be supported, and not
all output drivers support things like manual brightness control
or fullscreen...
