regression. Could you temporarily change the display depth back to
what it was and see if that restores the original behaviour?
I'd love to. But I don't know how to do that.
Changing the 'Depth' in "Screen" in /etc/X11/xorg.conf did not cause
the "playing movies locks the system" problem to go away.
General comment on the typical "have you logged this?"
response we tend
to get ... I've no trouble with hearing from people who have taken the
time to write about their experiences with an XO ... if they don't have
the time to log a ticket and engage in the formal process, that's their
decision. If other readers here don't attempt to reproduce and create a
ticket, then they mustn't think it is important enough to fix. ;-)
From my point of view, the hang has already been logged as #9407.
I think poor "moving pictures" is __the__ problem with the XO-1.5.
Therefore I'm willing to put effort into documenting that which is
happening (and into testing fixes, if someone were kind enough to
give me something I can try).
But this is a hang - which leaves the XO-1.5 completely unresponsive
to operator input (except for the power button). So I do not have
my normal opportunity to capture file contents, etc. They are wiped
out by the reboot I perform to access the system again.
I think Martin mentioned he was able to get in to the hung system
with SSH. I have basically never used SSH -- so I would have to do
a lot of learning before I could use that to obtain better
information than I have now (I wrote all I knew in my post).
