mplayer used to output the sequence to clear to the end of the terminal, instead of the clear to the end of line sequence. You probably still have a version that does that. I'm not sure if clearing the whole terminal should use a noticable amount of cpu either though. -- Mikael Magnusson _______________________________________________ rxvt-unicode mailing list [email protected] http://lists.schmorp.de/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/rxvt-unicode
