I have a same issue. - unity3d on ubuntu 11.10 - run mplayer with vdpau mode and video HD - unity locks up and hard reboot is necessary
The problem is : incompatibility between composite mode and vdpau API. Temporary patch is : I disable nvidia composite mode (sudo nvidia-xconfig --no-composite) my video running with vdpau but unity lost 3d effects. I report this problem in french on this thread : http://forum.ubuntu- fr.org/viewtopic.php?id=825381 -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/755099 Title: X lockup caused by compiz/unity To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/unity/+bug/755099/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
