Testing on my older notebook still running Ubuntu 14.04 I do not see
the same problems with -vo xv, but similar one when changing the
window size (but not in fullscreen mode). I think I have seen this
for quite some time, so it is not really recent. It might be newer than
MPlayer 1.3.0. Those problems do not occur with -vo gl.

Compiler version on that system is:
gcc (Ubuntu 4.9.4-2ubuntu1~14.04.1) 4.9.4

I have tested a more or less random selection of video files and a DVD
without issues (except the -vo xv issue mentioned above, of course).

Thanks,
Erik
