The x11 output driver sucks when trying to watch something full screen. With the latest (in ports) xf86-video-intel-2.7.1, first time with xv it was fine, flipped to a console then back to X, and ran mplayer with xv, lockup/Xcrash, ssh'd into my box, and for the hell of it, ran startx, and it worked, I was back in X, but the console was still buggered as the picture in the link above shows. I could kill X, but the console was buggered, locked, ssh would allow me to restart X as many times as I wished. All that's in /var/log/messages is May 13 11:19:35 jimmiejaz kernel: pid 65663 (Xorg), uid 0: exited on signal 6 Unfortunatly, Xorg log doesn't have anything, as I restarted X over ssh several times, the only thing there, is when trying to startx a lot of times, the first attempt can't find any screens with a usable configuration, ^c then startx again works just fine.
