It only happens with xv output and the X server
crashes just when I hit the "F" key for fullscreen. It
does not happen with x11 output for example, but x11
output does not scale the video.. I get huge black
borders around the video.

I did a little "printf" debugging myself and traced it
down to the call of XMoveResizeWindow() in
libvo/x11_common.c. The crash seems to happen when
this call is made, so I suspect a bug in the xv
portion of the glint driver...

(the call to XMoveResizeWindow() also happens with x11
output and then it does not crash, so it must be some
xv bug).
