Bug 35394

Bug description:

I have installed debian squeeze, and upgraded to latest kernel (by compiling the source). This is to get support of my new Intel DH67CL motherboard. I have fantastic display 1920x1080, and debian detected all of the hardware.It plays sound, youtube videos etc. But whenever I try to open an avi file though movie player or vlc the desktop freezes. I could move the mouse pointer, but no reaction to clicks. I can change to terminal by Alt+Ctrl+F1, and then has to reboot. It is always reproducible.

I too get these errors in the log files

Reproducing steps:System functions correctly, with the highest resolution of my monitor auto selected. I can browse, watch online flash videos. But, whenever tyy to open an avi file through mplayer or vlc, the entire desktop freezes. It happens always.

Additional info:When i downgraded to 2.6.32 kernel, which was default with Debian stable, video works fine. But, it doesn't have any specific driver for Ethernet, Video etc. I get very low resolution and no ethernet.
