I'm using a slightly older 1.4rc on Mandrake 9.2. I'll try to reproduce your findings tonite when I get home and let you know what happens. If it doesn't act freaky on mine, I'll upgrade to the rc4 and see if it happens.

I just upgraded from Mandrake 9.1 to 9.2 (now that the ISOs are available, had to use BitTorrent to get them, but that's neither here nor there), and took the chance to upgrade tonight from 1.3.4 to 1.4rc4. (On a side note, please update the docs to reference PyXML 0.8.3 rather than 0.8.1-- .1 with python 2.3 causes an error about CHARSET, which .3 handles fine.) Under 1.3.4, if I started freevo windowed, and played a movie, and then went to fullscreen, it would be blank. If I started it fullscreen, and played the movie, it would be fine, fullscreen. Hitting 'z' would bring it back to windowed, with the odd mplayer overlap. Hitting 'z' again would give the blank issue again. Under 1.4rc4, if I start freevo fullscreen, and play a movie, it _forces_ freevo out of fs mode into windowed. I'm not sure if this has something to do with freevo, or the OS update. (I didn't really test my 1.3.4 install under 9.2... just that it was recording last night.) Mplayer itself seems to be fine flipping in and out of FS mode, but it always was. I'm wondering if something in the way freevo interacts with mplayer changed, or if I need to recompile mplayer manually again. Any suggestions? 1.4r4 looks really nice, but the fs issue is something I do want to nail down as soon as possible. Otherwise I'll be using it mainly for the recording system rather than a client as well. --Morgan ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by: SF.net Giveback Program.
