Binary package hint: xserver-xorg-video-intel

  Installed: 2:2.2.1-1ubuntu9~local1
(a local build of ubuntu9 version, but the same problem appeared in earlier versions as well)

I'm running a KDE environment with the KDE3 compositing manager to get some nice transparent terminals.
Sometimes when I try to play a video with Xv the server crashes in the driver.
The crash causes the text-mode ttys to become unusable but a new X server is started by KDM.
