[MPlayer-users] vesa:vidix on my radeon is freezing my system quite frequently

[Brian J. Murrell]

I am using the latest mplayer from cvs on my P3-600 with a PCI Radeon
card.

I am experiencing quite a few system freezes lately.  The video
playing will stop and the last second or so of audio just plays over
and over (very annoying :-).

At this point, the OS is hung.  The box won't even answer a ping from
the network.  I am however, able to use the magic sysrq keys to sync
the disk(s), unmount filesystems and boot, so it's not a total
hardware freeze.

lspci says this about my hardware:

00:01.0 PCI bridge: VIA Technologies, Inc. VT82C598 [Apollo MVP3 AGP]

00:10.0 Ethernet controller: Realtek Semiconductor Co., Ltd. RTL-8139 (rev 10)
00:11.0 Multimedia audio controller: Yamaha Corporation YMF-754 [DS-1E Audio Controller]

I know there has got to be more information I could include, but with
this kind of problem, I am not sure what more you might want to know.
Just let me know what more I can tell you and I will.

Thanx,
b.
