Description User1001 2006-04-23 23:00:34 UTC 
With GMPLAYER, TOTEM, VIDEOLAN MediaPlayer, or Mplayer plugin and Xorg,
something causes X to crash (Signal 11/6) but there isn't any sufficient
information in the X log to point to any particular problem. This doesn't
happen every time, but this had not happened with earlier 5.4/5.5 releases.
It appears to be movie/multimedia specific as viewing images (EOG or GIMP)
or other X applications don't exhibit any problems. It also doesn't happen
every time. One additional note: TOTEM (or something associated with it)
appears to have a problem with shared memory as numerous invocations of
TOTEM following by one of mplayer results in a "shared memory get error".
Comment 1 User1001 2006-04-24 00:15:35 UTC 
NEVERmind - the X crashes appear to have been related to a failure to
load the GLX module for nVidia. Recompiling the nvidia-driver (again)
and restarting the system (and X) now shows the GLX module being loaded
by X and X no longer crashes where it was before.

This PR may be closed.
