Bug Description

Binary package hint: xorg

Fresh install of 11.04 32-bit on HP Mini 2133 netbook, added Medibuntu. Uses openchrome, works great except for playback of video. Very easy to reproduce. Backtrace at end of gdm log.1. Crash takes one back to logon.

Hey ludwigsr,

You filed this bug report against natty, but I see it's still open and
doesn't appear to have much activity recently. So, now that oneiric
is released and stable, this may be a good point for you to upgrade
and re-test if this issue is still present there.

If it's solved in the new release and you think it's worth backporting
the fix, please indicate that. Or if having the fix in the new release
is good enough, feel free to close out the bug (or let us know and we'll
close it.)

If it's not solved, leave the bug report open. I can't promise we'll
get to it (we get way more bugs filed than we can usually get to), but
your testing and feedback can help out if and when we do.

The issue is fixed in the latest release and that's good enough for me. Thank you. Please close this bug.
