[Bug 103839] Re: totem crashes entire machine, leaves black screen with garbage.

Winterborne, this bug was reported a while ago and there hasn't been any
activity in it recently. We were wondering if this is still an issue in
a supported release? If so, could you please test for this with the
latest development release of Ubuntu? ISO images are available from
http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/daily-live/current/ .

If it remains an issue, could you please run the following command in
the development release from a Terminal as it will automatically gather
and attach updated debug information to this report:

apport-collect -p xorg 103839

Please ensure you have xdiagnose installed, and that you click the Yes
button for attaching additional debugging information.

Thank you for your understanding.

Title:
totem crashes entire machine, leaves black screen with garbage.

Status in xorg package in Ubuntu:
Incomplete

Bug description:
Binary package hint: totem

When playing anything (ogg/vorbis, wmv, mpeg, so far) totem is likely
to crash on input. Loading a new file might do it. Resizing the window
might do it. Clicking "pause" might do it. Then again, it might play
20 files successfully before crashing.

It seems to happen independent of format, or even if the media is
audio or video.

The result is that my screen goes black, except for some neon
green/pink/whatever garbage around the corner of where the video
window was. Whole computer will stay in this state, frozen to any
input, until I hard-reboot.

Perhaps worth noting that I also am experiencing the line that runs
across the screen, from the top of the movie square. This line also
occurs in the mozilla-plugin.

I'm on a Toshiba Satellite 1400, with a Trident Microsystems
CyberBlade XPAi1 (rev 82). I've done some reading, and while it looks
like the linux driver for the CyberBlade doesn't yet support 3D, it
should be stable.

I worry about the driver, though -- when I used Xine with a different
set of codecs (on my last ubuntu install on this machine [5.10 I
think]) I experienced similar symptoms.
