recently i've been having some issues with vlc where the entire system halts and vlc is stuck playing back the same fraction of a second of audio it was on when the crash happened. i need to to a hard reset to get back into my desktop, and on at least one occasion the crash actually killed the drivers i need to use X...

it seems to happen mostly (if not entirely) when i'm trying to run vlc with deluge, though i don't recall whether one's happened without a running instance of the other. when installing vlc i followed the advice provided by the gentoo wiki and the vlc site in setting use flags

I'm running an xfce4 desktop on a notebook if anyone's curious with kernel 2.6.39-gentoo-r3

edit: it just happened with vlc on its own, so i don't think deluge has much to do with it

Code:
skred@gorch ~ $ emerge -pv vlc

These are the packages that would be merged, in order:

EDIT: please excuse my profound retardation. the driver should be i915 according to thinkwiki...


edit edit: this thread suggested adding
Code:
i915.semaphores=1
to the kernel command line for a similar setup, so i'm gonna see how that goes

sorry it took me so long to respond to my own question...

lspci shows this for a vga compatible device. so far as i know i'm using whatever intel drivers came with 2.6.39 (intel gma?). the VIDEO_CARD variable is set to intel btw

Code:
Intel Corporation Device 0126 (rev 09)


i don't know whether this is interesting for you at all:
Code:


intel: Driver for Intel Integrated Graphics Chipsets: i810,
        i810-dc100, i810e, i815, i830M, 845G, 854, 852GM/855GM, 865G, 915G,
        E7221 (i915), 915GM, 945G, 945GM, 945GME, Pineview GM, Pineview G,
        965G, G35, 965Q, 946GZ, 965GM, 965GME/GLE, G33, Q35, Q33, GM45,
        4 Series, G45/G43, Q45/Q43, G41, B43, B43, Clarkdale, Arrandale,
        Sandybridge, Sandybridge, Sandybridge, Sandybridge, Sandybridge,
        Sandybridge, Sandybridge



and then a few lines down
Code:
(II) intel(0): Integrated Graphics Chipset: Intel(R) Sandybridge


could that maybe have something to do with it?
