Totem causes logout when playing mp3/videos with dual monitor and fglrx Drivers

[Kyle M Weller]

When you have a dual monitor setup in Ubuntu Precise and attempt to launch a video on either Monitor 1 or 2, upon playing a video it crashes X and logs out out

Here is a pastebin of the relevent crash on dmesg: http://pastebin.com/Au0EaTE3

Here is a pastebin of my xorg.conf: http://pastebin.com/AaD1jmA2

I do have ubuntu-restricted-extras installed, and this happens playing any video or audio in totem, also ive seen it happen in banshee and vlc, I had to turn of hardware accelerated rendering for it to play.

Is there an xorg.conf setting I can change to fix this? I used amdcccle to generate my xorg.conf. With dual monitor disabled this bug doesnt happen.

Feel free to reassign this to the appropriate area

Status changed to 'Confirmed' because the bug affects multiple users.

I also had this with VLC - changing output in VLX preferences to GLX is a workaround for me

Problem still exists? Maybe this Bug #921384 but is now fixed.
