Hi, I finaly found the bug (i musst been blind not to see the oops msg in syslog): ---schnipp--- divide error: 0000 CPU: 0 EIP: 0010:[<d889fa41>] EFLAGS: 00010246 eax: 007fc000 ebx: 0000001b ecx: 00000006 edx: 00000000 esi: 00000200 edi: 00000000 ebp: d2007f5c esp: d2007f2c ds: 0018 es: 0018 ss: 0018 Process mplayer (pid: 438, process nr: 58, stackpage=d2007000) Stack: 08179990 00000021 00000001 c011499e 08179960 00060000 d88a0e70 00000180 00000001 00000180 0000001b 00000006 d2007f8c d889fe2e d88a0e40 00680000 082e544c 00000000 d1953d40 ffffffe7 80304a01 00000001 00000000 00000000 Call Trace: [<c011499e>] [<c012ef64>] [<c010a0c0>] Code: f7 ff 89 c7 2b 4d fc 8d 14 bd 00 00 00 00 89 15 04 0e 8a d8 ---schnapp--- The problems are at: #695: ifactor = ((sw-1)<<14)/(dw-1); and #703: ifactor = ((sh-1)<<14)/(dh-1); (dh - 1) resp (dw - 1) can and will be zero if the window is resized to height 1 or width 1.
