Bug 158214 – xorg crash running <<mplayer dvd://dev/cdrom>>

• Product: Gentoo Linux
• Status: RESOLVED FIXED

[Description al1ta 2006-12-15 07:00:45 UTC]

I'm using 2006.1 amd64 gentoo kernel vanilla 2.6.19.1 (kernel code IA64). My hardware is pentium D dual core with ati x1300.
I'm running:
- x11-base/xorg-x11-7.1
- x11-drivers/ati-drivers-8.30.3-r1
- sys-kernel/vanilla-sources-2.6.19.1
- media-video/mplayer-1.0_pre8

mplayer is compiled with:
X aac aalib alsa arts cdparanoia cpudetection dga dts dv dvb dvd dvdread gif gtk ipv6 jpeg lzo opengl png samba sdl unicode v4l v4l2 vorbis x264 xinerama xv xvid

the error logs in /var/log/Xorg.0.log are:

This is NOT a Gentoo Bugzilla product bug; read the descriptions.

[Comment 2 Joshua Baergen (RETIRED) 2006-12-15 09:21:55 UTC]

Appears to be a problem with the ATI drivers.  Try using one of the newer versions floating around bugzilla (eg. bug #155533).

[Comment 3 al1ta 2006-12-15 11:30:31 UTC]

I have tried also the ebuild for ati-drivers-8.31.5 but the problem is the same... it seems a problem when mplayer is used with -vo xv (that is the default for me)

the problem is different between the ati-drivers 8.31.5 and 8.30 by the way that with 8.31.5 the machine is freeze totaly (but you can access via ssh) instead with the 8.30 only X die. 

[Comment 4 Reimar Döffinger 2006-12-15 13:12:27 UTC]

I am not aware of ATI binary drivers ever fully working with XVideo. If you're already using them, why not just use -vo gl:yuv=4 or similar? Seems to be what most people with ATI cards do (or just use the opensource drivers).

I can agree with your solution but for my opinion is a very ugly dangerous thing that those driver are able to freeze the machine... we aren't speaking about windows :-)

[Comment 6 Christian Banik 2007-03-09 13:50:13 UTC]

This is a bug in the ati-drivers. Upgrading to 8.34.8 solves that problem.

[Comment 7 Rémi Cardona (RETIRED) 2009-07-28 15:56:42 UTC]

Closing as per comment #6

Thanks
