Appears to be caused by the following upgrades:

[2011-04-14 22:14] upgraded xf86-input-evdev (2.6.0-2 -> 2.6.0-3)
[2011-04-14 22:14] upgraded xf86-input-synaptics (1.4.0-1 -> 1.4.0-2)
[2011-04-14 22:14] upgraded xf86-video-openchrome (0.2.904-4 -> 0.2.904-5)
[2011-04-14 22:14] upgraded xf86-video-vesa (2.3.0-4 -> 2.3.0-5)
[2011-04-14 22:14] upgraded xkeyboard-config (2.1-1 -> 2.2.1-1)
[2011-04-14 22:14] upgraded xorg-server-common (1.9.4.901-1 -> 1.10.0.902-1)
[2011-04-14 22:14] upgraded xorg-server (1.9.4.901-1 -> 1.10.0.902-1)

I upgraded X again after a while without having noticed the broken video playback, but that did not solve the problem:
[2011-04-17 18:06] upgraded xorg-server-common (1.10.0.902-1 -> 1.10.1-1)
[2011-04-17 18:06] upgraded xorg-server (1.10.0.902-1 -> 1.10.1-1)

Hardware:
01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: VIA Technologies, Inc. CN896/VN896/P4M900 [Chrome 9 HC] (rev 01)


Steps to reproduce:
Play any video, switch into fullscreen.
