Fwd: Re: [xine-user] xine and Blue Screen

[Stefan B. <ste...@ut...>]

Hello Miguel,

I was wrong with what I wrote. For any reason xine was started with xshm and 
this worked always. 

I will try now all versions again with xv and write you the results later.

Sorry about that.

Stefan

Hello Miguel,

today I wanted to summarize my results with the different versions but before
I started I updated XFree86 with the new files from the Suse hompage.
   XFree86 4.3.99.902-43.28-patch
  XFree86-server 4.3.99.902-43.28-patch

This update fixed all my problems with the blue screen. Now the newest
 version xine-lib-1-rc5 and xine-ui-0.99.2 are running without a problem.

So all who are using SuSE 9.1 I recommend to update there XFree packages.

I also combiled kaffeine but it hangs as soon as I try to play a file.
Maybe the reason for this is that I updated to kde 3.3.0 already.

Anyway thanks for all your help.

Regards
Stefan
