Focus probel

Hi all!
I wrote a programm in Linux with SDL that uses the fullscreen mode. I want to start another application like “mplayer” that uses the fullscreen mode too. I start the program like this

system(“mplayer -fs /media/dvd/*”);

</Code snip>

The problem now is: mplayer starts but does not appear! I can control mplayer with the default keys (this means mplayer has the focus for my keyboard) but I can’t see anything!

Any suggestions? Thx!

Wierd. I didn’t know you could grab keyboard focus without a visible window…
Any ideas?

See ya,
