Try to change your video options in /etc/mplayer.conf:

If you are using the nvidia driver try vo=xv

If you are using another driver try vo=x11

Hey, thanks. I was wondering which is the right driver for
Nvidia. The only problem is now the fluxbox bar stays on
top on fullscreen. I tried all the different layering orders.
Any suggestions?

I'm also having the same layering problem with the gnome2 panel. One solution is to use xine, which fills the whole screan (there are several layering options in the xine config file). I'm pretty sure that mplayer used to work with the gnome2 panel, strange that it doesn't work now...

Actually I see no performance hit using the sdl driver and it doesn't suffer
from the layering problem.
