mplayer video corrupts screen display on bottom

[Anonymous]

another issue with mplayer is that after it shows video and you cancel it, the bottom of your screen , where you icons are, is corrupted overwritten and you need to restart opie to clear.

One thing that works is to run mplayer on a seperate console.  Do a wrapper script for it that does a \"chvt 2; mplayer ...; chvt 1\".  QPE will redraw it\'s display when the console is switched back.
