Well, for what it's worth, I use -vo xv and don't have this problem at all. I
do however run mplayer on my default screen (:0.0) with no mode changes, but
moving the mouse to my secondary screen (:0.1) and using ICQ or whatever is
fine.
Incidentally, as with most programs you can use the -display option instead of
changing the environment variable, i.e. "mplayer -display :0.1 -vo ..."
Cheers,
Adam.
