complete system crash (blank screen) after moving totem over left border screen

[Elmer van Baal]

Binary package hint: totem

When playing a random mp3 file, and totem is showing some opengl visual on the left side, moving the app over the left border of the screen makes the whole system crash. Only the power button helps. I suppose this could by compiz as well...?

please note that this happens on Gutsy Gibbon tribe 5

Thanks for your report, does it happen if you disable desktop effects?

Which video card do you have? Are you using totem with the gstreamer backend or xine?

[Elmer van Baal (evbaal)]

- This doesn't happen when desktop effects are disabled
- My system: HP/Compaq NC6220 laptop. My videocard, lspci output:
    00:02.0 VGA compatible controller: Intel Corporation Mobile 915GM/GMS/910GML Express Graphics Controller (rev 03)
- Totem has currently the (default) gstreamer backend installed

still an issue with latest Gutsy?

Gutsy beta was installed last week
I just updated all the packages - and the problem still occurs.
This time it happened when moving totem to the right (making compiz slide to the next desktop)

As off ca. sept last year this problem seems to be solved (improved intel driver etc...?). Unfortunately I won't be able to complete this with a crash report file.
