I'm not sure what you mean with "video button on laptop"? Monitor switch button (external/internal/both) on this Acer TM3040 series doesn't do anything.
Crashes happen only when using dual screen mode. If only VGA or only LVDS is used, everything works ok. At the moment it seems that only totem crashes. But I can (almost) swear that when reporting this bug, also Vlc crashed. More info below. Anyway, some background & tests: If VGA is plugged in when gdm starts, login screen appears on VGA. LVDS only shows slice of the bottom of then login screen. If VGA is not plugged in, login window appears normally on LVDS. Because of all that, after logging in, I must go to proper dual screen mode with: xrandr --output VGA --off xrandr --output LVDS --auto xrandr --output VGA --above LVDS --auto After that xrandr reports: Screen 0: minimum 320 x 200, current 1280 x 1824, maximum 1280 x 1824 VGA connected 1280x1024+0+0 (normal left inverted right) 376mm x 301mm [EMAIL PROTECTED] 70.0*+ 1280x1024 75.0 + 75.0 59.9 1152x864 75.0 1024x768 74.9 75.1 60.0 832x624 74.6 800x600 75.0 74.9 60.3 640x480 75.0 74.8 60.0 720x400 70.1 LVDS connected 1280x800+0+1024 (normal left inverted right) 261mm x 163mm [EMAIL PROTECTED] 60.0*+ 1280x800 60.0 + 60.0 1280x768 60.0 1024x768 60.0 800x600 60.3 640x480 59.9 TMDS-1 disconnected (normal left inverted right) TV disconnected (normal left inverted right) When in dual screen mode and starting totem on LVDS or VGA => VGA goes blank for a moment, then comes back again. During this, totem outputs two lines of: JACK tmpdir identified as [/dev/shm] Totem to fullscreen mode, then fullscreen off => both screens blank for a moment, then only VGA comes back, OR xorg dies, OR whole system crashes. Here's xrandr report after fullscreen off, when only VGA came back: Screen 0: minimum 320 x 200, current 1280 x 1024, maximum 1280 x 1824 VGA connected 1280x1024+0+0 (normal left inverted right) 376mm x 301mm [EMAIL PROTECTED] 70.0*+ 1280x1024 75.0 + 75.0 59.9 1152x864 75.0 1024x768 74.9 75.1 60.0 832x624 74.6 800x600 75.0 74.9 60.3 640x480 75.0 74.8 60.0 720x400 70.1 LVDS connected (normal left inverted right) [EMAIL PROTECTED] 60.0 + 1280x800 60.0 + 60.0 1280x768 60.0 1024x768 60.0 800x600 60.3 640x480 59.9 TMDS-1 disconnected (normal left inverted right) TV disconnected (normal left inverted right) When in totem is in fullscreen mode and quitting by pressing q => totem quits normally, no crash or disappearing LVDS. During these tests console got corrupted (showing only graphics from xorg). Using mplayer: start player on LVDS => video opens on VGA. Drag video to LVDS and go to fullscreen mode => video uses VGA's resolution on LVDS screen (ie. cropped picture). Mplayer fullscreen works, no crash, no blanking, no disappearing screens. Vlc worked just like mplayer, except that when going fullscreen on LVDS, Vlc opens fullscreen video to VGA (while totem window stays on LVDS). No crash etc. -- xorg crashes when leaving video player's fullscreen (945GM) https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/157696 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is the bug contact for Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
