Hey ho, Built and installed the lastest Mplayer & Xine releases on the laptop. Randomly, when trying to play a file, the display (window, or fullscreen) is a uniform light green color with some streaking/smearing, but no moving video at all. Sound is running, and CPU load looks correct for playing - that is, high. I can't reprodce the problem on demand, it just happens sometimes. I've worked around it by retarting X, and at times, a reboot (!) Once it was cleared by just switching to fullscreen. I get this issue using any output device - sdl, x11, xv, etc. It's almost as if the player is looking at the wrong block of video memory - but that's a guess.
