Hey

Yes, sorry the title was a bit vague. I havent got a monitor handy at 
the moment to check unfortunately, but will do as soon as i can.

The blank screen problem also affects watching recordings and also 
watching video's.

If run from the command line, mplayer gives the error:

X11 Error: Badmatch (invalid parameter attributes)

Really hope someone can help, this is driving me nuts
