Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: xorg
When using ATI's restricted drivers in big desktop configuration causes
totem (MPlayer) to make the X server use all available CPU regardless of
if totem is playing music (with gloom visualizer) or a video.
System: ATI Radion HD 3870
OS: Ubuntu 9.04
Xorg Configuration: ATI's big desktop
Reproducible: Almost always (99%)
Steps to reproduce:
Use ATI's restricted driver
Setup two monitors to use ATI's big desktop configuration
Play music/video with MPlayer (totem)
Watch as your quadcore's CPU cycles are stolen
Kill totem or switch to a non-graphical TTY and watch them come back
Result: nearly unusable system, choppy sound and/or playback
Expected Result: still usable system, steady sound and/or playback
** Affects: xorg (Ubuntu)
Importance: Undecided
Status: New
