Package: xorg Version: 1:7.2-5 Severity: important When playing back video using totem (either totem-xine or totem-gstreamer from debian-multimedia.org), xorg will unpredictably restart. The crashes seem to be most frequent when totem is playing a playlist (not a single file), and to happen during the transition from one file to another, or whenever I task-switch either away from or to the totem window using the keyboard (alt-tab).
I tried VLC as an alternative. Playing video back with VLC, xorg will also sometimes crash on transitions as above, and crashes 100% of the time if I change the hotkeys in the VLC preferences and click "Save". In order to test for hardware problems, I booted my tower using a Knoppix CD. Knoppix doesn't include totem or VLC, so I played several videos with Kaffeine. There were no problems whatsoever. I then booted back into Debian Lenny, installed Kaffeine, and tried to play the same video files. Before the Kaffeine window even opened, xorg crashed again. Andrew Sackville-West reports that he can reliably crash X by dragging an active mplayer window from one monitor to another. Andrew's and my discussion on debian-user can be read starting here: http://lists.debian.org/debian-user/2007/07/msg00043.html That thread includes Backtrace reports from the xorg crashes. Relevant versions on my PC: totem-xine: 2.16.5-3 vlc: 0.8.6.a.debian-6 kaffeine: 0.8.3-1 I'll be glad to provide any other information that will help. Thanks.
