Hello world, 2 weeks ago I sent a message on the list about kdm/xdm restarting when playing through Xv w/ mplayer. I have that problem w/ ogle too and I guess it must be nvidia's bin drv's problem. Does anybody with a non-nvidia card have such probs ? The first time I logon with kdm and play a movie, kdm restarts itself, I logon again & it works. I don't have a non-nvidia vid.card available at the moment (mach64 on my notebook works great w/ xvidix :^) to check it myself. If it's nvidia-only problem I'll send them a bug report....
When i: X :1 -layout tv DISPLAY=:1.0 mplayer -fs stuff.avi in most cases the first time it runs, the second time i start a movie redirecting to :1; it crashes X :1. (btw: mplayer doesn't have a proper terminal shutdown when it crashes, i have to "reset" the term ;) ) I also have a nvidia (gef4) and i believe their 3123 are the cause of this. Mailed them; they didn't replied. Greetz, Ltwp
