           Summary: Watching video with mplayer causes X to crash
           Product: kde
           Version: unspecified
          Platform: Ubuntu Packages
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: crash
          Priority: NOR
         Component: general
        AssignedTo: unassigned-bugs kde org

Version:            (using KDE 4.0.0)
Installed from:    Ubuntu Packages
OS:                Linux

Watching videos with command line mplayer in KDE 4.0.1 causes X.org to crash. Apparently this happens only with video (playing audio only files works fine).

I have tried opening many different kinds of video files with different codecs with mplayer, and the each time the following happens:
- mplayer seems to load the video correctly without complaining about anything
- a video window (with black inside it) appears on the desktop
- after this X.org immediately crashes and restarts

Other players like VLC and Kaffeine seem to play videos without any problems, so I'm not sure if this is a KDE or an mplayer bug. However, mplayer works fine in KDE 3.5.8, so this is probably some kind of compatibility issue.

I have compositing features of KWin enabled.
My mplayer version is dev-SVN-r25189-4.1.3 (self compiled).
I have two displays and the configuration is managed by NVidia's TwinView.

Here's a backtrace from the end of Xorg.log:
