At first I though it was fixed, but only for ~30 seconds. Then the soft freeze happened again. I've tried all combinations and here's what I got:
Dual monitor + SNA: mplayer in full-screen still gets the system to freeze, but now it happens after about 30 seconds after playing the video. Single monitor + SNA: full-screen videos are ok. Dual monitor + UXA: full screen videos are ok. Both dual and single screen, both SNA and UXA: - mplayer with vaapi support no longer works, the video is not displayed anymore - Totem doesn't play videos anymore, no video is displayed (blank screen, just like for mplayer with vaapi) -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to xserver-xorg-video-intel in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1102654 Title: [raring] full screen video crashes after Intel SNA enabled by default on dual monitor setup Status in “xserver-xorg-video-intel” package in Ubuntu: Incomplete Bug description: My system freezes (sometimes completely, sometimes I am able to recover by restarting LightDM) when playing a video using mplayer in full screen (in either Gnome Mplayer, Smplayer, etc.), after the recent Intel SNA by default change. This also crashes when using full screen Skype video calls and full screen HTML5 YouTube videos. Changing "AccelMethod" to "uxa" in xorg.conf fixes this and full screen videos work without any issues. So this is definetly an SNA bug! Also, the crashes only occur when I'm using 2 monitors. It doesn't happen when I'm using only one display!
