[MPlayer-users] problem: keyboard and mouse do not work when I run mplayer with "-vo directfb" option.

[Pawel]

Hallo all members.

When I run mplayer with "-vo directfb" option, my mouse and keyboard does not work when movie is played back. Of course, when movie is finished and control comes back to X windows system, keyboard and mouse also starts working properly.

Below there is a output from dfbinfo. It shows that I have 2 mouses and 2 keyboards connected to my system. It is not true. I have 1 mouse and 1 keyboard only. Maybe the solution would be just to switch to second "virtual" keyboard and mouse. My question is how can I do this?
