Dear all Recently I encountered this nasty, aggravating behaviour in mplayer: moving the computer (say, creating a little vibration by knocking on the table, or simply moving a muscle when on my laps) will cause mplayer to scroll forwards or backwards (any of the available 10 or 60 sec, or 5 min). At times it continues like this until the end/beginning of the file. Many times it seems to appear randomly, perhaps on earth quakes or when a heavy truck passes in the neighbourhood.
I suspect that the behaviour is caused by the accelerometer that should be present on the notebook, the one that should catch out-of-norm accelerations, shut down the hard drive and prevent data loss. I was once curious on how this works on Linux, and installed couple of packages similar to hdapsd and hdaps-utils. Since I removed these, without any change in mplayer behaviour. As a final note, mplayer looks like the only misbehaving application. Oh, and all this happens on an HP Pavilion dv3. Any ideas on how to work around this issue?
