This is mplayer-20130819p0 on a reasonably current i386 on a Lenovo R61 (see full dmesg below). This is the newest package available.
When playing any video with 'fs', the mplayer window appears, almost instantly disappears, and only the sound gets played. Perhaps the video too, but without me seeing it. It's not that the mplayer window is obsciured by some other window. This also happens when there are no other windows beside the xterm that I launched player from. Without 'fs', it plays just fine. This is happening after my last or pre-last update (Nov 30, Nov 04). Could this be the relatively new video stuff?
