gmplayer too as well :) but I don't use totem. I'm also running the nvidia driver in unstable right now (or whatever it was since I last updated) on my FX 5200 card. I haven't found mplayer to crash too often (like in the middle of a dvd or what have you) but sometimes I will run gmplayer in a window off of iceweasel (mplayer-plugin) and leave the system on all night listening to radio or somesuch. Then wnen I get up in the morning, closing the window where gmplayer is running (in an iceweasel tab or window) hangs iceweasel to the point that I can only go to a shell and type 'killall firefox-bin' . Just happened to me this AM. I don't switch back and forth from the nv driver to the nvidia one that often. I'd prefer not to, as nv is too slow for what I want to do. But, I've just recently had some rather inexplicable situations where x11 has crashed, like I'll come home and find me in a kdm login session) and the system is otherwise in an idle state when I'm gone - usually only running one or two apps, plus the gl planet screen saver. Snce that uses gl, and amarok does as well (I think, for the graphical feedback on the bottom of its screen, and so does mplayer. depending on the video driver that's used, maybe there's a problem with nvidia's drivers? -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
