It works fine! It could be considered to add the patch to mplayer cvs.

Yes, but some other cvs commit changed the -vm behaviour. mplayer cvs 
(updated just now) does:

-vm with -vo x11 (and -fs -zoom) renders the movie in the full desktop 
resolution, whether a smaller resolution/viewport is selected or not. 

-vm with -vo x11 (and -fs) crashes mplayer:

--- cut ---
XF86VM: Selected video mode 640x480 for image size 640x272.
X11 error: BadMatch (invalid parameter attributes)

MPlayer interrupted by signal 6 in module: decode_video
--- cut ---

but _not_ when I use strace to check what happens before the crash. With 
strace it works just fine. Funny.
