Re: [SOLVED] xorg crashes when playing a video

crash it again, and then post tail /var/log/Xorg.log (or the whole thing). copy the log somewhere before you start X again though, or you'll overwrite it.

Re: [SOLVED] xorg crashes when playing a video

does it make a difference if you use current/xf86-video-ati instead of testing/xf86-video-ati? please keep me up to date! smile
