Here's a bug I posted somewhere else about this before it got marked upstream: http://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=192454 Summary: When using mplayer or gxine to play videos using the following video output modules (xv, gl2, dga), X server crashes. The following errors show up in system log: Sep 13 15:22:07 HOSTNAME grsec: denied resource overstep by requesting 135168 for RLIMIT_MEMLOCK against limit 32768 for /usr/bin/mplayer[mplayer:5101] uid/euid:1000/1000 gid/egid:100/100, parent /bin/zsh[zsh:5084] uid/euid:1000/1000 gid/egid:100/100 Sep 13 15:22:08 HOSTNAME gdm(pam_unix)[4942]: session closed for user USERNAME In xorg.log, I saw the following errors around the time it crashed: Fatal server error: Bad channel value 31 This crash is reproducible with this version of the intel driver. The last known working version for me is 1.7.4, using which, I have no problems.
Looks like DUP of 10912. In the latest driver, XAA + Composite + Xv won't work. You'll need to use EXA as your accelmethod instead. *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of bug 10912 ***
