Hmm... I tried it on my linux box 3dfx voodoo3 . Xfree86 4.2 Mandrake 
8.2 and it worked fine. The movie plays and then it continues to boot up 
whatever (in this case KDE) window management system i've selected.
 
Maybe there's something that gets executed or needs to be executed 
before/after you start mplayer..in your xinitrc file?
 
The only difference is that I put it in my Xsession file which is 
executed by xintrc file.

Maybe there's something that gets executed or needs to be executed 
before/after you start mplayer..
