I downgraded all the relevant xorg packages to server 1.18.4.6, and
everything started working again.

It seems that 1.19 should have been 2.0 instead, as it has broken the
abi / api of X for applications.  It's equivalent to bumping the so
number of a library.

Anyway, I'll mention this on the mplayer user list.
