All video programs crash with this error when I play video > 640x480
(eg. DVD, DV) - Totem, mplayer, xine, vlc, avidemux, kdenlive, they all
crash.
This is not a physical limitation of the laptop - these programs all
worked fine under Feisty. It fell apart with the Gutsy upgrade, I
believe. mplayer can play DVDs (barely) with the -vo x11 option (this is
an xv problem), but the laptop doesn't really have the snot for that - I
need this graphic chip working.
The laptop has a SiS chipset. Since I last posted on this subject, I
have done a fresh install of Ubuntu Hardy. Interestingly, there is now
no reference to SiS in xorg.conf at all. Looks like Xorg is doing it all
automatically, clever wee thing:
$ grep -i SIS /var/log/Xorg.0.log

...
(--) SIS(0): VideoRAM: 8192 KB
(II) SIS(0): Using 4096K of framebuffer memory at offset 0K
(--) SIS(0): Hardware supports two video overlays
...
I've attached the rest of the log. It kind of all looks OK to me, but
I'd be interested to hear if anyone can see any trouble in there.
Thanks,
Douglas.
