If I can remember correctly, the first reboots (a few times) occurred some time
last year (can't remember the exact time). But because the problem went away I
didn't investigate it any further back then.

The reboots reoccurred about two weeks ago, around the 12th January, I can't
remember the exact date. Again, the reboots went away for a while, only to come
back last Thursday (20th January). I looked from pacman's log file for updates
that might have caused this. I limited this to updates that took place this
year. The log file goes back to January 2010, so if needed I can post the whole
thing.

Reboots have occurred both with xvideo and opengl as mplayer's video out
device.
However, I believe I have found a work around that works. When I force mplayer
to do software color conversion from yuv420p (yv12 ?) to yuyv422 (yuy2) no
reboots have occurred with xvideo as output device. Opengl works also when I
force it to do software color conversion.

I hope that helps.
