Video overrides everything under fglrx


After installing proprietary graphics drivers for AMD A-50 APU graphics performance has been greatly increased. But two new problems have come up.

1. While playing video files clicking menus doesn't show anything, the video forcibly overrides the menus.
2. Videos always take the focus over other windows and applications.

For example, see the attached screenshot where actually terminal should come to the focus, but the video is overriding it.

Somebody please help me!

Have you tried using different output driver settings in the video player?

Yes David, I tried them all xv, gl2, vaapi and the rest. But the overriding problem is still there.

Solved after choosing x11 output in the media player preferences.
