It should be evident, but you need to run xvinfo, glxinfo and xdpyinfo
from within the X session.
Just going through my old bugs... I've enclosed xvinfo.txt and xdpyinfo.txt,
perhaps that will help.
I'm still using VLC in the same fashion I did before, that is, by setting
Video Settings | Output to X11 Video Output (XCB). If the output is set to
Default, VLC hangs.
