VLC (2.1.4) interface freeze - latest ati catalyst drivers (Beta 14.2)

Hi,

I understood that I have to use opengl output in order to play video. My issue is when I launch the vlc interface it freezes and I cannot access any menu or do any things. Only killing it from console works.

No error displayed in console.

How can I set opengl interface from command line or vlc config file?

I tried to play video from dragon player & mplayer and they crashe my X environment.

Any idea?
