I have another solution to your problem i think... dont really know if your problem was the same as mine, but i only saw 50% of the movie. The reason was the virtual screen. If you have several different resolution in your XF86config mplayer will play on the largest one (if I understod the docs correctly). Anyway, I changed so I only had 800x600 in the config, and now mplayer runs perfectly :)
