Oops, forgot about that it screws up the CRT (LCD in my case), so that
you can't use that display any more, until, as you correctly write, you
do a reboot. Did not try with 640x480 though, so that was new to me.

Hmm, I don't have xine installed, but will give it a try once I get back
home from work today. I have only tried it with mplayer, and I forget
if it has been patched or not, made a mess of myself on IRC about that
;)

Will try to see what my CPU usage is when using mplayer vs. xine and the
different codecs.
