Starting XMMS with double size on locks (crashes) system hard

[Neilen Marais]

After upgrading to edgy, starting XMMS locked my system hard, requiring a hardware reset to reboot. I edited ~/.xmms/config to turn off the double size option, and it starts normally. If I enable double-size after starting xmms the display is currupted, but no crash.

The hardware is an Athlon XP and an ATI Radeon RV200 QW [Radeon 7500] using the "radeon" module

(II) Loading sub module "radeon"
(II) LoadModule: "radeon"
(II) Loading /usr/lib/xorg/modules/drivers/radeon_drv.so

I'm running up to date edgy.

Seems to be related to https://launchpad.net/distros/ubuntu/+source/xmms/+bug/63144

although in #63114 no-one reported a hardware lock. The workaround:

export XLIB_SKIP_ARGB_VISUALS=1 && xmms

also seems to fix the problem for me.

Regarding the duplicate marking... I fee there are two issues here.

1) XMMS double size problem, that is a duplicate of #63144
2) The hard crash. This is not a duplicate of #63144. This seems like and Xorg bug. No matter what XMMS does, it shouldn't cause a hardware lock, right? Perhaps this bug should be assigned against Xorg, or I should file a new one against Xorg?
