Bug#696554: System freezes and lockups

[Steven Chamberlain <steven@pyro.eu.org>]

Thanks for the logs.

Do you have a dual monitor setup?  If so, set glxgears running on one of
them where you'll be able to see it.  Then please try this from a
terminal window on the other monitor:

$ mplayer -nosound -vo xv -dr -fs somefile.avi

(Any video file should be okay as long as it's at least 10 seconds long.)

This is just to see if it can trigger the freezes on demand.  If it
does, pressing 'q' and waving the mouse around should hopefully get you
out of MPlayer within a few seconds, and your system will hopefully
recover from freezing.

Regards,
