You could try killing the wm and then try to start MPlayer with -geometry like you tried before. But be warned it may happen that you cannot focus the terminal after you killed the wm and therefore typing in the terminal won't work anymore. In that case you could try to switch to a different vt and start mplayer from there with the correct DISPLAY environment variable set. There are many ways things can go south after you kill your wm, though it worked remarkably well for me in the past. Though it may just be easier to just temporally switch to another wm instead. But first double check your command line before testing the wm.
