The files attached above are just after a "standard crash". I do not have compiz enables to my knowledge (visual effects disables, no compiz process).

I have tried disabling DRI in the *Device* section of xorg.conf, same issue.

With X11 output instead of Xv in mplayer there is no problem - a window can be placed over video without issue (otherwise original configuration).

I tried with the "driver intel" line from the xorg.conf commented out, the issue persists, but I suspect it is still loading the intel driver (I could confirm this if necessary).

I have noticed that occasionally, after a crash, I no longer have access to virtual text terminals, but get a corrupt static gdm screen instead of text login, I can still log in with gdm however.

Please advise if there is anything else I can do.
