mplayer screws up colormap as cursor moved into the video window
Date: Wed, 29 May 2024 05:21:09 UTC
Hello, When upgraded to 13.3-R, I have experienced a problem that Mplayer can cause system colormap distorted when the cursor moved into the video window. I have seen this issue before when using the pre-built Mplayer binary, and building Maplyer binary from port on local machines will fix the problem. However, under 13.3-R, building binary on the local machine does not solve this issue. On this 13.3 machine, one thing have been changed -- the video device. X.org is no longer supporting older video cards, such as Radeon 370, NV210, etc., so I used AMD APU video (Radeon HD 8570D). xf86-video-ati driver does not support it, therefore no /etc/X11/xorg.conf is created, and X is started with default configuration (VESA?), not sure if mplayer does not like it. Does anyone have some clue on how to resolve this problem? -Jin
