How are you playing the mpeg - i.e., which application are you using to
view it?
Please try this:
- Open a console window, so you have a command line.
- Type 'script' <enter>.
- Start the application you use by typing its name on the command line
and pressing enter. Play an mpeg with it.
- When the xserver restarts, there will be a file called 'typescript' in
the directory you ran the script command. Please post it; it contains
any messages the application emitted before the restart.
