Confirming, happens on my setup as well when I have TV configured as
second device, but it's not connected.
I'm using
* Feisty
* xorg-driver-fglrx 7.1.0-8.32.5+2.6.20.1-6.4
* ATI Radeon 9550 128MB
When second device (+screen) is removed from xorg.conf, xserver doesn't
crash when trying to play video.
This doesn't happen with ati/radeon open-source drivers (or even with
nvidia gfx-card and nvidia proprietary drivers with same dual head
setup, on same computer).
I've tried starting X with few fglrx specific options, but the outcome
is same. I'm going to try if Debian provided xorg-driver-fglrx has the
same issue.
** Changed in: linux-restricted-modules-2.6.17 (Ubuntu)
Status: Needs Info => Confirmed
