>Description:
If I use vlc-player after fresh start of Xorg, everything works fine.

But - after the first use of mplayer it is different:

vlc-player shows a black sreen! Audio works fine, and vlc detects the scale of the movie window perfect - but, the screen is black and stays black.

After a restart of Xorg everything works fine with vlc - until the first use of mplayer (in my case it is kmplayer)

My Ports a all "up to date" but my Desktop is KDE3.5.

This bug was in the last vlc versions

vlc-1.1.0,3 and
vlc-1.1.1_1,3

Any Ideas about that?
>How-To-Repeat:
use vlc, then use mplayer, then use vlv again.
