Make sure you have these options in /etc/sysconfig/displaymanager

If -accel xv does not work for you, try -accel xv:pbuffer
If still not working, open your media player without any movie and set it to use video driver xshm instead of xv.
However if I say "mplayer -vo x11 dancemonkeyboy.mpg" it plays solidly, whether being dragged around the screen, made transparent, played on the corner between 2 desktops or what have you.
-vo x11 tells mplayer to use xshm. It's slow. Do you have DISPLAYMANAGER_XGL_OPTS in /etc/sysconfig/displaymanager? Did you run SuSEconfig after adding that? Alternatively, you could also try -vo gl2 or gl Or -vo sdl (but I'm not sure about this).
