With mplayer0.90pre9b5, and also prior versions, the full screen
mode on my iBook 2 (500 Mhz, 384 MB Ram, ATI rage 128 8MB,
OSX 1.2.2), is buggy. The image is slightly moved to the bottom.
There is an approx. 20 pixels black line at the top of the screen,
and the image is shifted to the bottom for also 20 pixels. It
happens all the time with Mplayer. It doesn't care about the aspect
ratio (4:3, 16:9 or other), and other settings ( like width at 640,
800, or other settings), it is still there, I miss 20 pixels of the
bottom of the movie. Very unpleasant bug. Everything else is OK.
My impression is that the "menu bar" is not disappearing in full
screen mode, and is replaced by this black line that seems to
have the same height.

A perfect full screen happened only 3-4 times.
I notice the follwing when the black line appears. I start the movie, click
on the full screen button, the scren becomes black, then the mouse
shows up at the upper left corner of the screen and the black line
appears where the mouse is pointing.
When the full screen mode was perfect, I didn't notice the mouse
pointer. Everythning was before displaying the image.
I cannot reproduce a perfect full screen mode (i.e. launching MPlayer
after start-up, quitting all applications, etc.). So I guess, it is a mouse or
menu bar thing.

I had the same problem in mplayer 1.01 and found a possible
solution:
I cycle resolutions with the "C" key, the image isn't move
anylonger and if I press the "C" key several times, I don't
succeed to reproduce the problem. Strange... (I first thought it
was a problem with a certain resolution)
Hope it'll solve your problem.
Note : my iBook 2 is a 700 MHz with ATI Radeon Mobility 16

I know that controls of gui app sometimes don't behave as
expected, but for now it is limited by my little knowledge of
mplayer's CLI interface. It often does not react as I expect, and
some parameters do not work either, so I have to try again
different ways. Finally I think this can be resolved, but it
takes long hours of trying. Be patient...

I have found a way to work around this bug. Click on the
play button, then on the "full screen" button. Let the movie
play only 1 second and hit "f" once (without quotation mark)
to return to the window mode. When the window is back, hit
"f" again to return to fullscreen which is now perfect. The
drawback is that you miss 3-4 seconds of the beginning of
the movie.
