[MPlayer-users] Re: annoying behavior of tdfxfb

Well. Quite ironicly written. But still I think we can't understand
eachother. It may be because of my not mentioning such stuff. I execute
mplayer with:

$ mplayer -vo tdfxfb -fs -dr -vop yuy2 file.avi

The thing that matters is "-fs" of course. I know that while ran without
-fs there should be text output visible. But I performed the tests on the
newest version with the same execution line. Thus -fs enabled. And despite
of that I see all the messages generated by mplayer.

So you know what I'm talking about.

Ok, I might have missed some strange error streams - what is the addition
to what I have written?

So? Developers? Should I fill the bugreport? 

The text (mplayer's messages) doesn't interfere with image.

It's a kind of solution, but does not cause the execution line to
disappear from screen - only the cursor isn't blinking
