Ok, but this must be an exception, usually errors have relevance :)

Understood.

With this patch I don't get the error on the terminal, and everything
on the output seems ok, but all I can see in the mplayer's window is
white, no frames are displayed. I can seek with the arrows, I can quit
with 'q', but I cannot go fullscreen with 'f'.

Quick test: I installed Ubuntu 10.04 on a different hard disk on this
machine, and with nvidia proprietary drivers v. 173.14.22 I get the
same problem.
Since it works with other video cards/drivers, it must be something
related to my video card/setup.

Thanks,
