Hi,

I have F9 with Totem and VLC installed. When I try to watch an ogg video from Red Hat's web site in Totem, the screen goes blank and I can hear my hard disk head park. I can't recover X from this - I have to hard reset the machine and boot back into the desktop. When I try the same video in VLC, VLC just dies immediately (but at least it doesn't bring the system down too).

I've searched for log entries relating to this error, but there seem to be none.

So... my question is, does video require DRI to be enabled in X? I had to disable DRI in my xorg.conf because it was making X hang in certain situations. Here's my xorg.conf for reference:

Section "ServerLayout"
   Identifier     "Default Layout"
   Screen      0  "Screen0" 0 0
   InputDevice    "Keyboard0" "CoreKeyboard"
EndSection

Section "InputDevice"
# keyboard added by rhpxl
   Identifier  "Keyboard0"
   Driver      "kbd"
   Option        "XkbModel" "pc105"
   Option        "XkbLayout" "gb"
EndSection

Section "Device"
   Identifier  "Videocard0"
   Driver      "radeon"
   Option        "DRI" "off"
EndSection

Section "Screen"
   Identifier "Screen0"
   Device     "Videocard0"
   DefaultDepth     24
   SubSection "Display"
       Viewport   0 0
       Depth     24
   EndSubSection
EndSection

Any ideas, suggestions, etc appreciated.

Thanks,
Steve
