Hi,
After playing some particular video files with mplayer and using xv, the X server immediately freezes. It does not use any cpu, mplayer does not use any cpu, but the X server stops taking any input whatsoever. The only keys that the system responds to are the Magic-SysRq keys with which I can reboot the machine. Also, ssh into the machine works, but I am unable to generate a nvidia bug report using the script, since the script itself gets stuck at the point where it tries to
Code:
cat /proc/drivers/nvidia/cards/0
I had this noticed this problem earlier, but I did not have a video file with which I could reproduce this problem. However, mplayer invariably freezes X with the mpg file available at
http://cored.org/prototype/iid/iid.mpg while using xvideo output. Using mplayer -vo x11 works fine.
The file generated by nvidia-bug-report.sh is attached (when not playing the video file). Also attached is the output of mplayer -msglevel 6, while playing the file using X11 as the video output driver. FYI, the output of the log file generated by nvidia-bug-report.sh when I use the xv driver is:
