then you should use xv or xvidix aus videooutput device. x11 is really 
the worst of all vo options (eats up cpu and looks ugly), and you should 
only use it if really nothing else works.
to get xv you need to install the gatos drivers from gatos.sf.net, 
(x)vidix comes with mplayer. I also recommend that you read mplayer's 
documentation about the various vo-options (again), it really covers a 
lot of this discussion.
you might also need the -xineramascreen option to select your screen, 
check mplayer-manpage for that
