I've got a server crash that is bugging me. Since I've gotten this
computer, I've had a problem with XVideo that has plagued me through
several X upgrades and kernel upgrades. Currently I'm using XFree
version 4.5.0 and kernel 2.6.15. The Xfree install in from the bin
distributions on the Xfree site. Kernel is a customized kernel for my
install. Distro is a heavily modified Slackware. I have an Intel 915G
graphics card.
Nagging problem... when I play certain movies files with mplayer, xine,
or cinelerra and use the XVideo interface, I get image tearing or
shearing. Every raster line in the video output is shifted about 10
pixels. This only happens on certain video files. Some play just fine. I
also have some files where there is no shearing but the colors are
incorrect. The colors are dull and washed out. If I play the troublesome
videos with the x11 interface with mplayer (mplayer -vo x11) the videos
play fine. So I have a a workaround... don't use XVideo. Of course this
is slow and a real pain in cinelerra.
The crash... When I'm player one of the sheared videos in mplayer and
using XVideo as the output, I shrink the video window down. If I get too
small (I'm guessing somewhere around 50x50) I get a server crash. The
error output says:

I can attach the full log file from X if you need it. I didn't want to
do that until I knew it was OK.... I'm new to the list.
Seems to me I have some problem with my card and XVideo. I've googled
and found some things that are kinda the same, but not exactly.
Thanks,
Jay
