Comment 29 for bug 1176647

I applied (apt-get source, patch -p1, dpkg-buildpackage -b, dpkg -i) the patch against the current ubuntu stock kernel (3.8.0-25-generic) but to no avail, a mplayer with xv will instantly result in the lockup state. Due to that I have configured my mplayer to use the gl backend which is running flawlessly the past few weeks.
