[Bug 354889] Re: [jaunty] i845 xorg crashes upon playing video

[Derek]

"solved"
unfortunately, not in a way I'd like.

Back when I was in Ibex (which worked fine apart from crashing hedgears,
an opengl/sdl game) ubuntu had reconfigured xorg.conf to support
attaching it to another monitor as I did occasionally with this laptop.

Section "Screen"
	Identifier	"Default Screen"
	Monitor		"Configured Monitor"
	Device		"Configured Video Device"
#	SubSection "Display"
#		Virtual	2384 768
#	EndSubSection
EndSection

Commenting out the virtual display fixed things - perhaps a memory issue
with the large virtual size? WAG from someone who doesn't understand the
internals.

This seems like an easy thing for users to trigger though :-/
And I suppose it means it will just try to make this change again, the next time I plug it into the external monitor.
