Re: [xine-user] xine locks up my computer

Hi Florian,

it would help to have a bit more info about your System
configuration. What kind of XFree do you use? (installed from
SuSE/RedHat/Mandrake RPMs or from source? what driver, exactly? ...)

When the whole system locks up, it's probably a kernel or hardware issue,
maybe related to the X server, but as long as you don't run xine as root,
it definitely can't lock up your system. It could at most be a ressource
pig and slow things extremely down, but keyboard interrupts (like num
lock) should always work...

That can't happen, unless your system is in a bad state...

Hmmm, maybe you want to install from source. This way, you could at least
trust the xine binary...

I don't know that card.

Xv can be checked with "xvinfo", which comes with XFree4. There should be
a section in the xine HOWTO about this.

Well, hope that helps...
