Somebody scribbled about [expert] mplayer weirdness
Hello Recently my mplayer installation began acting strangely. It starts in fullscreen mode no matter what settings I give it and the control
I'm noticing the same thing. Before, I could go to fullscreen mode and then switch back, or control other aspects from the keyboard, now I have to wait until the video's done.

I am still able to control mplayer functions from the cli, but the gui is broken. For some reason, the gui "controller" will only display on my #3 desktop, and even then only displays a part of itself . In other words I only see about half of it. This happens with all of the skins I have, and if I try to move the controller it becomes completely garbled. I do not know where to look for the cure to this.
I ripped out the rpms using the gui software removal tool and went through and deleted any thing else it left behind related to mplayer. I downloaded the source from the mplayer site and compiled it and installed it. Same behavior. The video window itself displays on whichever desktop I'm using, and the videos seem to play fine. I can do without the gui, but it was sure nice while it was working.
I'm running 9.0 KDE 3.01 and the latest nvidia drivers from nVidia's site
Thanks for your response.
