2009-10-29 Thread Bob McElrath
I have seen problems like this with large files on multiple fs's and ultimately it was a RAM problem. Scott, can you run memtester and/or memtest86 at bootup to verify that you don't have bad RAM? Is your CPU overclocked? CPU errors can also be detected with burn* programs (cpuburn package). A

It was a poor decision to release Jaunty with this version of the driver. (Though I don't know if you had any choice from upstream) Jaunty also has massive speed problems in i.e. xournal which are all the driver's fault. There's some commentary on freedesktop about the crappy state of this

I confirm João's comment above. With the official jaunty release 2.6.3-0ubuntu9, video players crash when directed to use xv. Telling gstreamer not to use xv works around it. In my case, video in vlc/mplayer/totem works fine initially, but if one forces a repaint of the screen, X will crash.
