I've already committed a bug yesterday at this address :
https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=2863
I'll explain this again :
I own an ATI Radeon 8500LE working with the opensource ati driver without DRI.
I have debian SID and , by following this guide :
http://blogs.vislab.usyd.edu.au/index.php/Steve/2004/09/09/installing_a_non_intrusive_x,
I switched from XFree86 4.3.0.1 (default on debian) to Xorg lastest CVS (dated
31 March 2005) .
DGA + Mplayer (self compiled) worked well before the switching .
After the switch I recompiled MPlayer (I've also set the correct path for Xorg
libraries and includes with ./configure ) and tried DGA .
The result is that immediatly after mplayer starts the screen goes black and
Xorg crashes .
KDM (the K Desktop Manager ) then restarts the server and I can relogin into my
X session .
I had this problem also sometime ago, by using DRI packages for debian by
dri.freedesktop.org (that include a Minimal distribution of Xorg). I thought
that the problem was generated by a strange mix of Xorg binaries + XFree
libraries, but now , that I have a pure Xorg installation, the problem persists.
I've tried a Matrox G450 board on this system (I'm actually writing
with this board at the moment) with MGA driver and DGA works like a
charm .
I don't know if this issue is present also in previous Xorg versions.
Here my xdpyinfo and xorg.conf :
