I have the same problem with Ubuntu (32-bit) and an Intel 945GM. It doesn't seem to matter whether I use compiz or not.
X crashes sometimes when trying to play something in mplayer using XV. I've found out that X always crashes if I launch tvtime and after closing tvtime play something in mplayer using XV. I can often start and close tvtime more than once time without crashing X, but launching mplayer after that always forces X to restart. If I use a framebuffer device (replacing splash with vga=792 in /boot/grub/menu.lst) I can keep on using the text-mode ttys even after X has crashed and restarted. I also tried to (build and) install the xserver-xorg-video-intel package from Gutsy. This solves the problem with XV crashing my X-server. (I can't use Compiz with Gutsy's intel drivers. It starts, but the windows aren't updated properly and I have to resize them If I want to see what's going on. OpenGL and metacity works fine though.) -- [hardy] Compositing + Xv causes SIGSEGV in memcpy() https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/212799 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
