I downloaded the latest trunk from openchrome.org (svn co http://svn.openchrome.org/svn/trunk openchrome) and changed the arguments in function viaReputImage to match the arguments xserver 1.10 is passing.

Then i basically followed steps 1 & 2 at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/OpenChrome to compile and install the driver.

Then i restarted the computer and mplayer worked fine. I'm now able to move it around and work with the window with no crashes. However, I've only been using it a couple of hours, so YMMV.

I've attached the changed via_video.c file. If anyone wants to give it a try, you should just replace via_video.c with this one and then make and make install.
