I'm running Ubuntu 20.04.5 under Windows 11 using WSL2 and trying to resolve (and educate myself) about a problem to do with the display kernel modules (which I understand to be the linux equivalent of device drivers).I am trying to run local videos (one .avi and one .mp4) on mplayer and vlc from the linux terminal. Both work, but poorly with a lot of chopping and stuttering.If I run the same videos from Windows they work perfectly.My display driver (as seen from Windows 11) is Intel Iris Xe version 31.0.101.4091 which is the latest version.A reply to a similar askUbuntu question says that the kernel modules are stored in /lib/modules, but when I look in that directory it is empty.
edablin@EdsSamsungLaptop:/lib/modules$ ls -alF

Here's some of the responses I'm trying to make sense of:
[VO_XV] It seems there is no Xvideo support for your video card available.
[VO_XV] Run 'xvinfo' to verify its Xv support and read
[VO_XV] DOCS/HTML/en/video.html#xv!
[VO_XV] See 'mplayer -vo help' for other (non-xv) video out drivers.
[VO_XV] Try -vo x11.
and
************************************************ **** Your system is too SLOW to play this! **** ************************************************ So would I be right in thinking the display kernel module is not there because Windows takes care of the device drivers for the display?Can someone point me in the right direction about the no Xvideo support for your video card message. If not a solution then tell me where I need to go look. Thanks
