** Description changed: Binary package hint: xorg On a clean install of 8.10 on a Compaq nc8430 laptop, all video playback fails when using the default (open source) graphics driver. Both Movie Player and VLC crash (abort) when video playback is about to start. This also happens when trying to play the ogv video sample in the Examples directory. Additional codecs don't help. When I switch to the proprietary ATI driver, all video plays ok. The additional codecs I previously installed do their job with various formats. No more crashes. My guess is thus that this has to do with the open source driver. As there are additional issues with the graphics driver (artifacts returning from standby), I'm currently using the ATI driver. Let me know if you wish any additional diagnostics info while the open source driver is installed. -Arto ProblemType: Bug Architecture: i386 DistroRelease: Ubuntu 8.10 NonfreeKernelModules: fglrx Package: xorg 1:7.4~5ubuntu3 ProcEnviron: PATH=/usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin:/sbin:/bin:/usr/games LANG=en_US.UTF-8 SHELL=/bin/bash ProcVersion: Linux version 2.6.27-7-generic (bui...@palmer) (gcc version 4.3.2 (Ubuntu 4.3.2-1ubuntu11) ) #1 SMP Thu Oct 30 04:18:38 UTC 2008 SourcePackage: xorg Uname: Linux 2.6.27-7-generic i686 xkbcomp: + [lspci] + 00:00.0 Host bridge [0600]: Intel Corporation Mobile 945GM/PM/GMS, 943/940GML and 945GT Express Memory Controller Hub [8086:27a0] (rev 03) + Subsystem: Hewlett-Packard Company Device [103c:30a3] + 01:00.0 VGA compatible controller [0300]: ATI Technologies Inc M56P [Radeon Mobility X1600] [1002:71c5] + Subsystem: Hewlett-Packard Company Device [103c:30a3]
