Hi

I'm a bit of a random problem. Sometimes when I try and play videos on my second screen the videoapp will crash. Launched from a terminal both gxine and xine fails with a 'floating point exception'. Both programs work fine on my primary display though.

What's more is that this only happens sometimes and I have not found a completely sure way to replicate it. It happens mostly when I have been using the primary display for full screen video first though.

Has anyone else had this problem?

Oh, almost forgot. It's an ATI card using the proprietary drivers.

I know it won't help you, but many videoapps crashes on my installation of 64 bit Edgy. Other types of apps tends to work without problems. Hm... seems to be something due to SSE2/SSE3, when I think about it...

Anyone know how to fix this or know any workarounds? I am experiencing this problem too...:confused:
