As Brice wrote, mplayer has an option for using other outputs than Xv
(for example, x11).
vlc also has an easily accessible preference setting (although "easy"
means you have to select "Advanced Options"). At Video/Output modules,
select "Advanced Options", then change the Video Output Module to
"X11 Video Output" or something else other than "Default" or
"XVideo extension video output". After you set it there, it will
retain the setting in future video settings.
