Sometimes, when I double-click to open a video from the Konqueror file manager and launch mplayer, all keys become disabled and I have either to 1)open a terminal (Ctrl+Alt+F2) and killall mplayer 2)wait for the video to finish I try again immediately later and all works fine.
When this happens, whenever I press a key I can read in the console (Ctrl+Alt+F1): No bind found for key JOY_AXIS2_PLUS-JOY_AXIS3_PLUS-<code> <code> varies depending on which key I press. Some codes are "JOY_RIGHT", "q", "0x132".
could you please try pre4 and report here
I've been using pre4 for a couple of weeks and it doesn't do it anymore.
