I installed the update with an interesting result. Now when I run a video it
is exactly the same result as pressing Ctl-Alt-Bksp. Without any warning X
is gone and after a black screen the login screen comes up and then X. So
now running a video is a software X restart. If I can figure out what is the
trigger then it will be posted. Tomorrow I will try changing some of the
Options in xorg.conf.
