I did what he did and it solved the problem for me too (amd64 Aug 7 snapshot -- dmesg in previous post). The patches removed are patch-src_video_x11_SDL_x11{sym_h,video_[ch]} They're the latest patches in the port dated 2011/05/13 and deal with XRandR and VidMode. Thinking back a few snapshots I believe it was around this time that I first saw ffplay fail in this way, but I made no real notice about it since I rarely use it and xine and mplayer worked fine anyway. Thanks to dsp for sharing. Now I can play with qemu again ;-)
