xine fullscreen causes hard X lockup

[sillysloft]

I compiled and installed fluxbox-0.1.9. Awesome window manager!

When using xine-0.9.10 to view movies (mpg, avi, etc) in fullscreen mode (under fluxbox), X will completely lock up.
In fact, it will lock up to the point where neither Ctrl-Alt-Backspace (usually kills X) nor Ctrl-Alt-Fx (switch to virtual terminal x) function. So I have to do a remote login to my computer to kill/restart X.

This seems like a xine problem, since I'm using xine with the "Xv" video driver, which I believe really does some low-level stuff with the video hardware and/or X.

But at the same time, I've been using xine in this manner without incident under Blackbox (0.62.1 and 0.65alpha8), icewm, sawfish, gnome/sawfish and maybe some others.

By the way, I'm on a Debian Linux "potato" system, but with XFree 4.1.0, linux kernel 2.4.18 and a lot of self-compiled software (e.g. xine-0.9.10 and fluxbox-0.1.9).

Please email me if you have any questions or need further explanation! garman@raw-sewage.net
