Hello list , this is my sistem:
i've a Debian 3.0 upgraded with the unstable packages
my kernel version is 2.4.19
i've the libc library version 6
XFree86 Version 4.2.1.1
my Gnu C Compiler version is 2.95.4
my ld version is 2.13.90.0.14
my binutils version is 2.13.90.0.14 i've both the gtk2 and gtk1.2 
installed
my hardware configuration is:
CPU: Pentium II (Klamath) at 233 Mhz
Mainboard: ABIT-BE6 with BIOS Revition BE6-TH
Video card: Graphic Blaster TNT2 Ultra with 32 MB on-board ram
The video driver is Nvidia 1.0-3123 with the glx extension
My soundcard is a SB-AWE32 with 2 mb of awe-synth ram bank on-board

I *think* (i have really no knowledge of coding , so i'm gonna think of 
something that maybe isn't..)
that there's a bug with the Framebuffer support:
When i play a video file (i tried with pure-avi , divx-avi and vcd-mpg) 
everything's fine.. when i quit the player , and i switch in console 
mode (both with the ctrl+alt+F* hot-keys combination and quitting the 
window manager) , there's a "footprint" of the last-played frame of the 
file i've just closed.
i Guess is a framebuffer problem because it doesn't disappear even if i 
reboot , so i really think that the framebuffer keeps that image (until 
poweroff). Of course , i worked around the problem disabling the fbdev 
support (which isn't so useful if Xv support is available..) while 
compiling MPlayer and while compiling the kernel (same version).
