When running dualhead, only the first head usually has
support for Xv, that is why you get the blue window and why
it works with mplayer when you change from  Xv to normal X11.
I don't know if this is a hardwareproblem or just an XFree86 driver problem
with your card.
Unfortunately the only way at the moment to change from Xv to X11 output
in ogle-0.9.1, is to recompile with Xv support disabled.
In you use the latest cvs version you can set the environment variable
OGLE_USE_XV = 0 to disable xv support.
Without Xv you won't get any scaling in ogle either.
