i edit /etc/modprobe.d/radeon-kms.conf and past to that file:

options radeon modeset=0

....and insert to that file...

Please provide the output of 'vlc -vv' while it fails, and the output of 'xvinfo'. But this smells a lot like a display driver problem.

[Ipeacocks (ipeacocks)]

i have reinstall vlc, and now it work. but i have similar trouble as in smplayer ( https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/smplayer/+bug/662377 )

>lot like a display driver problem.

I have report about some bugs with xserver-xorg-video-ati, but developers did not react on that.

[Ipeacocks (ipeacocks)]

with this driver in 10.04 all was ok.

[Reinhard Tartler (siretart)]

reassigning to xserver-xorg-video-ati, this problem really seems driver specific.

Hey Ipeacocks,

Hi, have you had a chance to test if this bug is still present in natty?

If it does (and if you're the original reporter), please boot into natty
and run the command:

  apport-collect <bug-number>

which will update the bug with fresh logs and tag the bug as affecting
natty. (It is best to run this right after reproducing the problem.)

We're closing this bug since it is has been some time with no response from the original reporter. However, if the issue still exists please feel free to reopen with the requested information. Also, if you could, please test against the latest development version of Ubuntu, since this confirms the bug is one we may be able to pass upstream for help.
