I'm getting this issue on Ubuntu 8.10. I've got an ATI X1550 (MSI RX1550 TD256EH).
When Visual Effects (in System -> Preferences -> Appearance) is set to anything but "None", the following applications die the moment you try to play a video through them: o VLC o Mplayer o Miro (xine backend) o Totem Mplayer can be made to play video by starting it with the command: mplayer -vo x11 your_video.avi Possible duplicate: https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/282988 -- [Needs EXA] Video playback failes with compiz enabled https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/269357 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
