Package: mplayer
Version: 1.0~rc1-15
Severity: normal
For a long time I've used mplayer's xvidix output, which has never had a
problem playing videos with my dedicated Radeon 9200. Recently mplayer's
behavior has been to show only a green screen until a lot of seemingly random
alt-tabbing, pausing, rewinding, and so forth on my part gets the video to
finally
show up. Sometimes, portions of the video show up on the left, and the rest is a
stripe of green, but usually it's the whole window. It may be due to upgrading
Xorg but I'm not sure since mplayer is the only program I use that has it.
mplayer stdout shows nothing out of the ordinary:

I didn't change my mplayer config when this started to happen, although
I've tried -nocolorkey (which just makes the initial screen black
instead of green) and -nodouble. I get this behavior with default
settings and only -vo xvidix.
Long ago I followed the xvidix documentation and reduced the VideoRAM
section of my xorg.conf from 64MB, but didn't change it when the green
screen problem started happening:
