We have to be careful not to conflate multiple issues here. There are at least two issues: Video playback hangs the GPU. Most likely a Mesa issue. Xorg cannot be restarted after that (you reported this upstream at https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=99138), presumably a radeon kernel driver issue. -- Earthling Michel Dänzer | http://www.amd.com Libre software enthusiast | Mesa and X developer _______________________________________________ xorg-driver-ati mailing list [email protected] https://lists.x.org/mailman/listinfo/xorg-driver-ati
