[Bug 252108] Re: Video playback crashes X server

[Bryce Harrington]

[This is an automatic notice.]

We'd like to forward your bug upstream, however upstream requires
that you first test it against their newer driver code.

To save you the effort of building the driver from source, we've built
packages for the driver and its new dependencies.

So you have a couple options:

 1.  Download and test .debs for intrepid, from:
     https://edge.launchpad.net/~intel-gfx-testing/+archive

 -or-

 2.  Download and test the Jaunty alpha-2 (or newer) Live CD,
     (which includes a beta of the new xserver 1.6 as well).
     See http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/releases/9.04/ for ISOs


Thanks ahead of time!  You can simply reply to this email to report your
findings.


P.S., if you wish to forward your bug upstream yourself, please follow
these directions to do so:

** Description changed:

  This has been happening since the release of Hardy and was not there in
  gutsy. Basically when A video is played using any Software (VLC, Movie
  Player, XINE), the X Server crashes and restarts bringing me back to the
  login screen. A look throuhg the System Log shows:
  
  WARNING: gdm_slave_xioerror_handler: Fatal X error - Restarting :0
