Bug reported by Eamonn Hamilton on the Debian BTS recently. I can't be sure that the problem is in Intel and not in the server, but the problem apparently appeared when upgrading to Intel 2.2. He says: "X crashes after playing a video. This is repeatable using both totem and mplayer."

Does the crash happen immediately after playing video, without any specific window operation? I'm using mplayer fine on 855GM, except bug#13108 which requires some specific operation to trigger the bug and has been proven to be server issue (working with server tip but broken with server 1.4).
Hi, Basically, I start a video in totem, and switch to another desktop. If the video playback finishes without me being on that desktop, X crashes. Switching to a text console also doesn't work, there is no usable display, although I can switch back to X OK from there. Hope this helps, Eamonn
This seems similar to bug#13108. Could you try the latest upstream xserver git code?
I can give it a shot, though I haven't compiled X in a decade :) Where is the repository?
git://anongit.freedesktop.org/git/xorg/xserver
hmm. the git port is blocked by our firewall types, so I used http://anongit.freedesktop.org/git/xorg/xserver.git instead, and during the clone I got Cannot obtain needed blob ad591a1afc1f2bc0f703bfa2fdfd6b6d9300559d while processing commit decd5a7c605e42c99b6a4523c8e1833b859d9b24. Is there some other stuff needed, or is it just my fumble fingered use of git ( we had RCS when I was a lad, mans SCM :)
Similar bug reports are said to have been fixed in the latest driver, so I'm closing this one. Please reopen if you still see this issue with the current driver git code or the next driver release.
