Hi all, I've noticed a rather annoying problem with mplayer and/or the nVidia closed-source driver. It seems that after I've played a few movies (i.e. the xv overlay has been created and destroyed a number of times - probably 15 to 20 times) it suddenly stops creating the overlay and all I get is the blue window where the video should be. MPlayer doesn't display any errors (its output is no different to when the overlay works) so I was wondering whether anyone else had experienced this problem? It's rather annoying and requires a complete reload of X11 to fix (switching to text mode and back with Ctrl+Alt+F1 doesn't work.) Thanks, Adam.
