Bug Description
I'm using the intel i810 driver and an Intel 82852/855GM Integrated Graphics controller and an updated Dapper. Probably around 25% of the time, when I try to watch a video (.avi, DVD, .wmv, etc.) on totem, mplayer, or kaffeine, I get a BSOD (black screen of death, where I'll see the "wait" cursor periodically but nothing is responsive, including ssh from another computer). If I restart, I can usually watch the same video without problems, and I've found no consistent pattern for when it does this. I've had this problem since Breezy.
