Obviously the problem.  It's unfortunate that MPlayer crashes instead of
exiting properly, but you really can't expect MPlayer to be able to
exceed the limitations of your video hardware (or workaround driver or
X11 bugs if that is the case here).

If you have it set to only use a small ammount of shared video memory,
you can try increasing it in the BIOS.
