(10 August 2008)- Making ogle work after mplayer has fucked your X server
When I run mplayer to view a video file, it does something to the X server so that if I subsequently run ogle to view a DVD, ogle appears to run normally except that the video appears as just a black window (or black screen in full-screen mode).
