before i can log a bug i need to work out what's going on. is there a system log i can check for a system freeze? i've never had such a harsh crash before.
when i'm playing videos my computer locks up and goes blank. X crashed to a commandline once so i thought it may be my xorg, dpkg-reconfigure xorg-xserver to a basic conf did nothing. i thought it was the new 8.6 ati driver but it does the same with 8.4. i thought it was the debian-multimedia packages because the thumbnails of everything possible to thumbnail went green after a gstreamer-ffmpeg update. removing all deb-multi packages and going back back to official helped the thumbnails but didn't help playback crashes. i've used totem-gstreamer, totem-xine, vlc, mplayer all were able to play sometimes but most were either green or audio only. totem-xine was probably the best at playing correctly but since i've been playing around it crashes on almost every video and i'm not sure which log i can check for errors. i've been trying to work out why this is happening but i never had to bother with playing multimedia before so i'm a bit lost. at worst i'll just reinstall a fresh system as my data and home are all on seperate partitions. i just wanted to see if anyone has any ideas before giving up. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
