Re: [xine-user] -->>blue screen of death part deux

SIne xine works with xShm, your problem is not with xine. It is with your X 
server, or possibly the hardware of your video card.

Normally, nVidia cards support xv just fine, using the proprietary nvidia X 
driver from nVidia, and I think also using the nv driver in XFree86. But 
I'm not familiar with your specific video card, and you don't give any 
details of your X setup.

In any case, I'd pursue this as an X problem, perhaps on a Mandrake support 
list.

BTW, xine remembers the last choice of video display method specified. So 
if you try "-v xv" from an xterm, it remembers that setting when you then 
try to start it from the gui. Same thing when you switch to "-v xShm". 
That's why the gui sometimes fails in the way you report below.
