[MPlayer-users] A white box under mouse pointer

[Jani Frilander]

Hello.

I'v had a problem with several versions of MPlayer, where
a white box appears usually near the edge of mplayer window.
I experimented a little, and found out that the box appears
mostly if the pointer is in the position where the window draws
its title bar or borders. The box disappears if I press F twice.

Sometimes the box appears in the middle of the window, once again
where the pointer lies.

The box seems to appear only with xv driver.

Some information my system:
