 I have more info now.
 
 My card is an "ATI Radeon AR 9600 XT"
 
 My X11 driver is radeon(4)
 
 
 The Video driver which is used by mplayer and by vlc - by default - is
 the "xv" driver. 
 
 the mplayer changes a state of this driver - I looked it up via
 "xvinfo":
 
 
 BEFORE mplayer is used the first time I got this:
 
 ,----
 |       "XV_AUTOPAINT_COLORKEY" (range 0 to 1)
 |               client settable attribute
 |               client gettable attribute (current value is 1)
 `----
 
 
 AFTER the first use I got this
 
 ,----
 |       "XV_AUTOPAINT_COLORKEY" (range 0 to 1)
 |               client settable attribute
 |               client gettable attribute (current value is 0)
 `----
 
 
 If I use only the vlc player this doas not happen.
