[Bug 281743] Re: [intrepid] vlc crashes right after start with every video

[Marquis]

I'm on 8.10, 64-bit, with Nvidia drivers. My issue seems the same as
everyone else above, with VC reporting  "X11 request 2.0 failed with
error code" when running an AVI file that I KNOW works fine as I played
in VLC under Ubunut 8.04.

I just had a minor victory. In VLC prefs, I just clicked on interface
type of Native, and unchecked Integrate Video in Interface. The AVI
worked! Went into fullscreen and back, no issues. I then tried pausing
the video, went into prefs and re-checked Integrate Video in Interface
to see if this was the problem, but nothign seemed to change.

Next, I exited VLC, restarted it, changed the prefs to Native interface
with Integrated Video in interface.   Instant Exit!

Try again - restart VLC, prefs = Native with NO integrated video in
interface.  Video plays fine.

Could the Integrated Video in Interface be the issue? Please try, and
post your results. If this is the issue, would this be a VLC problem
rather than Ubuntu?
