Description Darren Salt 2009-10-24 15:38:04 UTC

X hangs (munching CPU) when a monitor on which an Xv overlay is being displayed is disabled via XRandR and the overlay is then outside the remaining display area(s).

xserver-xorg-core         2:1.6.4-2
xserver-xorg-video-radeon 1:6.12.4-1

Setup: rv370, dual-head (horizontal arrangement);

With an Xv overlay on the right-hand monitor, switching off that monitor will trigger this hang.

(I have *not* tested this with Xv textured video.)

... actually, I'm not convinced that it's xrandr – it's whatever SDL_SetVideoMode (libsdl1.2debian 1.2.13-5) uses which is causing the problem. I also noticed a scaling problem when experimenting with the overlay on the left-hand monitor: gxine doubles the height (both monitors are 1280×1024).

A gdb backtrace from when the X server is spinning might be interesting.

That would need to be tracked separately.
