i don't know if it is the same problem, but i also get random crashes when i start video. almost always when i start video (using xv output in mplayer) screen first changes to black and then video starts normally. also when video ends screen will first change to black andonlythen show real desktop
and in rare but quite regular cases it crashes X server completely and i get to terminal X log is attached graphics card is Ati Radeon HD2650XT, drivers are fglrx 8.5, mplayer is compiled from some not so old svn snapshot (it happened before too and it also happened with vlc playerin repository), rest of packages is from Ubuntu 8.04 repositories with all updates installed let me know if you think its related, or if it is new bug. in case you will want additional info i will try to provide all you need ** Attachment added: "log of xserver after crash" http://launchpadlibrarian.net/16666209/Xorg.0.log.old.bz2 -- fglrx x server crashes on video overlay initialization https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/87520 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
