Public bug reported:
It seems similar to another two bugs here, but the answers does not look
to satisfying. I let update the dist. recently to gutsy, with the ati
driver supporting xrandr. There is no note (at least i did not notice)
about it in system log or xorg log. The Xorg restarts while playing
video, no matter if i use one or two monitors (i use the xrandr --auto
command just to enable the other output).
i use xserver-xorg-video-ati 1:6.7.195-1ubuntu2
- the graphics car is laptop buil-in model Ati Mobility Radeon 9200, lspci
reports this:
01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: ATI Technologies Inc Radeon RV250 [Mobility
FireGL 9000] (rev 01)
desktop i use is kubuntu an kaffeine player for the video.
If i use another output module for video playback it does not restarts,
but needs so much processor time that it is unusable. It is also very
hardly usable when use the two monitor output due the processor time
load (with the old driver and dual monitor setup it was significantly
better), but it is another issue. The restart does not come immediately
when starts playback (that is the difference from another bugs reported
here - from those i read). Sometimes it starts immediately, sometimes
after few minutes playing, or change of focus between various
application windows running simulateously. I am not so experienced so i
am not sure how to set up some debug mode of the driver or anything
else.
