Cannot reproduce.

Sounds rather like a problem with you X11 driver or hardware than
a mplayer problem

-sub-no-text-pp
      Disables any kind of text post processing done after loading the
      subtitles.  Used for debug purposes.

vm doesnt help much when you already use xv

is default anyways

well, software scaling isnt a bright idea, you have hw scaling anyways

same as above

using -pp and -vf pp together doesnt make much sense,
also inserting software scaler when none is needed is rather stupid.
and your expand doesnt make any sense to me if it's hardcoded
like this into your config file.
