It sounds like your X server is crashing, possibly when the media player accesses the XVIDEO extension. To rule out the player, try: $ mplayer -vo x11 filename.mp4 or $ mplayer -vo null filename.mp4 If the file plays correctly (the second command will give you sound, but no video), then you have a broken X server/driver. Check your Xorg and Xsession logs. -- Paul Saunders -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
