 looks like a combination of mplayer/dwm - xine/dwm was fine and did not
 lock up. Thanks for your help though - I'll continue to play with this as
 time allows and let you know if I find anything which definitely points to
 the openchrome driver, but for now I'm not sure that this is the problem.
 Sorry for any inconvenience...

 Sorry for the wait.

 I can confirm this for wmii: No crashes with xine. But this supports what
 I said before: the xine window is managed differently by the window
 manager when switching back from fullscreen (still floating, for mplayer
 it becomes one of the tiled windows (even if it wasn't before going to
 fullscreen)). So I still believe this is related to some rescaling of the
 video.

 > One other thing I found, if you want to use mplayer - try pausing the
 video before switching to full screen - it doesn't lock up. As long as you
 remember to pause before changing between full screen/window, everything
 is fine!

 Thanks for this hint.



 So do you think we should report this somewhere else? Where?


 Simon
