I'm getting this issue on Ubuntu 8.10.

I've got an ATI X1550 (MSI RX1550 TD256EH).

When Visual Effects (in System -> Preferences -> Appearance) is set to anything but "None", the following applications die the moment you try to play a video through them:
  o VLC
  o Mplayer
  o Miro (xine backend)
  o Totem

Mplayer can be made to play video by starting it with the command:
mplayer -vo x11 your_video.avi
