Please attach/post your XFree config file and log file (text only please). Also might help if you could produce a text file of the errors you get when you play them. Created attachment 90285 [details]
Attachment of XF86Config and XFree86.1.log and xine/mplayer errors
I put everything in one file with begin and end seperators.

Additional Comment (trying to add a comment does not work)
This exact same behaviour also occurs on my friend's machine which was
installed from scratch with RedHat 9, with Xine and MPlayer installed from both
rpms and source, X crashes.
His system is:
Intel i740 graphics card
160MB RAM
PIII 400MHz proc
According to the log file, this is an i740 driver bug in my opinion. It will most likely require a sit-down debug session on real hardware in order to figure out what is wrong, and by using the same software you're using. I recommend to report this issue directly to XFree86.org in their bugzilla database at http://bugs.xfree86.org so that the upstream driver maintainer is aware of the issue, and it gets much wider cross-distribution exposure. That will increase the chance that someone can investigate it and fix it sooner. While I do have an i740, the i740 hardware was never that popular, and the number of people using it nowadays is likely very small. The number of those who encounter this problem is likely much smaller than that. I can't really commit resources to this myself when there are so many higher priority bugs open in our bugzilla that affect many more users, so the best bet all around is to report this upstream. If you do report it upstream, paste the URL here, and if a fix becomes available from upstream, I will have a look at it and possibly integrate it. Since this bugzilla report was filed, there have been several major updates to the X Window System, which may resolve this issue. We encourage you to upgrade to the latest version of Fedora Core (http://fedora.redhat.com). If this issue turns out to still be reproduceable in the latest version of Fedora Core, please file a bug report in the X.Org bugzilla located at http://bugs.freedesktop.org in the "xorg" component. Once you've filed your bug report to X.Org, if you paste the new bug URL here, Red Hat will continue to track the issue in the centralized X.Org bug tracker, and will review any bug fixes that become available for consideration in future updates. |
