I have the same problem, witch I figuered out to be not a mplayer
problem, but a problem with my XVideo-Extension. I'm using a "ATI
Mobility Radeon M6 LY" on my Dell Notebook with XFree 4.2 from
Debian/sarge (=testing). I did not manage to find a solution yet, but I
also did not try very hard. As a workaround, I configured my
WindowManager (fvwm2) to stick and stay-on-top every XVideo-Window from
mplayer, xine, ogle, etc.

A friend of mine now has the same problem with Debian/woody (=stable).
He has a "ATI Radeon Mobility M6 LW". With Mandrake 9 he had running
before, the problem was not recognized!

Has anyone a hint, how this problem can be solved?
