Can you both let me know which driver version you are using. 4 possible reasons for a lock up
1) Something has got broken in the vsync code 2) There are X/OSD things happening which interfere with the YUV code. I am intending (when I finish the decorating) to run xperf and mplayer at the same time and see how much of a hit the Xv code is on the xperformance. If this is the problem it should show up when I start doing that. 3) The mpeg decoder is being used at the same time 4) Something else is happening that I can't think of. The most likely is 1) or possibly 2 if you are running with a desktop that has things like a clock on it. I've been running without a window manager so the only application talking to the Xserver is mplayer at the moment. Also I've still been using my driver rather than one of Chris's proper ones so I will try the latest proper driver tomorrow.
