Did you run any video application before ogle ? I've noticed for a while now that mplayer conflicts with ogle. Namely, if I use mplayer, then ogle, I get a blank screen. Radeon driver as well... This used to work, this no longer does. I've notified Matthieu Herb, but none of us has had any time to debug it yet... restart X windows, see if the problem disappear.
