Bug#441902: xserver-xorg-video-ati: 6.7.192-1~7.2 crashes xserver with xv video playback on compiz
Package: xserver-xorg-video-ati
Version: 1:6.6.193-1
Severity: normal
I'm running unstable but with the latest experimental ati driver from
bgoglin that works with the xserver in unstable. Version 6.6.193 works
fine with xv video and does not crash the xserver when I switch desktops
in compiz (composite + aiglx + r300). But it does have problems switching
back and forth from virtual terminals, so I have to disable pageflip.
6.7.192 fixes this virtual terminal problem, but when I'm playing videos
with mplayer (or vlc) and I switch desktops then the xserver crashes.
I've tried upgrading the necessary xorg components to 7.3 but this
freezes my system when I exit the xserver with ctrl-alt-delete,
requiring a hard reboot.
