On a i945 chipset with driver version 2.6.2 When using Xv Intel Video Overlay instead of the normal overlay (due to tearing in the normal overlay) after some undefined number of videos I see the overlay colour appaer, then the Xserver complete crashes. The box itself stays up, but graphics are unrecoverable.
Adding additional info: kernel 2.6.28.7 libdrm 2.4.5 intel driver 2.6.2 xorg-server version 1.5.99.902-1 Machine, Lenovo Thinkpad X61 Tablet 1400x1050

I am not quite certain what changed, but now when doing this I get either a solid image in a dark green-ish colour or all sorts of "weird" artifacts (horizontal or vertical lines, etc) depending mainly on size, larger size is more likely to yield the latter, I cannot reproduce any crashes now, though video playback using this port now also completely broken. (Yes, I am as confused as anyone can be over a bug like this...)
sounds like a dup of bug 17190..
I have a Dell D400 with Intel i855GM and the same problem, using such combination (under PLD): kernel-2.6.28.7 xorg-driver-video-intel-2.6.3 xorg-xserver-server-1.6.0 libdrm-2.4.5 Mesa-dri-driver-intel-i915-7.3 Using XV gives me just a plain green rectangle. I haven't tried to hang my X system by running the player several times. By the way, if I shutdown X, I'm loosing keyboard (totally no response) and my screen goes black. I can only turn off my machine using ACPI-registered power button. Anyway, that's probably xserver-related problem.
I can confirm the exact same issue on Intel 945GME card (Samsung NC10 netbook). I get a "green screen" when trying to play a video using xv overlay and later, when exiting X, the screen turns black, keyboard stops working, and the only way to get the system back is to do a hard reset using the power button. Videos play correctly without the xv overlay, but with serious tearing issues. The problem is reproducible every time with the 2.6.3 driver. EXA/UXA makes no difference. kernel: 2.6.28.7 xorg-server: 1.6.0 libdrm: 2.4.5 intel driver: 2.6.3 The last version of the Intel driver that doesn't suffer from this problem is 2.6.1, so I'm using it now.

Could you re-test with the latest driver? I can't reproduce this issue.
I close it due to no response from the reporter. (BTW now overlay is supported under KMS).
non-KMS no longer works for me with intel driver version 2.9.0 and I have only textured video with KMS. Can't tell.
