Bug#470581: xserver-xorg-video-ati: X exit while running xv apps (mplayer, totem, etc) when using randr sidebyside monitors and compiz

Thanks; unfortunately, the log file doesn't show anything that explains why the X server terminates. Is there anything in the X server stderr output (possibly captured in the g/k/xdm log file), the compiz output or the dmesg output, etc.? -- Earthling Michel Dänzer | http://tungstengraphics.com Libre software enthusiast | Debian, X and DRI developer ___ xorg-driver-ati mailing list xorg-driver-ati@lists.x.org http://lists.x.org/mailman/listinfo/xorg-driver-ati

This happens when running mplayer/totem with xv so I first though it was a critical bug in the driver. By cheer luck I found out it was because compiz check max texture size against width and height to avoid issues . but randr changes those width and height on the fly afterwards. And bad things happens. I had a 1280x800 LVDS and a 800x600 TV which made up 2080 just above my GL_MAX_TEXTURE_SIZE of 2048 (radeon mobility M25 X600 rev 0). Sorry if you find out that this is not up to the driver to disable dri on the fly if max texture is reached. Please forward it to compiz if so. I made the test with 1:6.8.1~git20080310.38606b08-1 and then with source (which I currently use thus the lack of version info). Though the issue affects all versions at least in 6.8 branch. I have a hard time making sense of this report... It'll be hard to impossible to do anything about it without at least the full log file of the aborted server and/or a better description of what exactly happens under what circumstances. -- Earthling Michel Dänzer | http://tungstengraphics.com Libre software enthusiast | Debian, X and DRI developer ___ xorg-driver-ati mailing list xorg-driver-ati@lists.x.org http://lists.x.org/mailman/listinfo/xorg-driver-ati
