[82865g] Playing video with acceleration enabled crashes Xorg

Thank you for reporting this issue, it helps make Ubuntu better. Confirmed.

Please collect a full backtrace - see http://wiki.ubuntu.com/X/Backtracing for directions.

Also, if you could attach your lspci -vvnn output and Xorg.0.log that would be of use.

I can confirm this bug, too.
Todays build Kubuntu jaunty desktop i386 CD + mplayer installed.
Attached logs are catched "directly after a crash trying to play this video the
 attached video in mplayer". Mplayer window shows with blue background and after a second Xorg is crashing.

Log from working "mplayer -vo x11 Suzuki.wmv" command.

Log from working "mplayer -vo gl Suzuki.wmv" command, but slow in fullscreen due to DRI disabled by current packages.

Log from crashing Xorg "mplayer -vo xv Suzuki.wmv" command.

I've tried to use UXA and XAA, too.
UXA does hang/crash Xorg on Xorg start so I can't even check XV there, but with XAA an XV the video is played for few seconds (I can see the playing movie on the screen but with image artefacts - in the mouse pointer place and some on the video window) and then Xorg hard locks - even keyboard does not work (numlock etc.).

Tomasz, can you collect a full backtrace of the crash?

See http://wiki.ubuntu.com/X/Backtracing for directions.

This bug was fixed in the package xserver-xorg-video-intel - 2:2.6.3-0ubuntu7

---------------
xserver-xorg-video-intel (2:2.6.3-0ubuntu7) jaunty; urgency=low

  * Add 119_drm_bo_unreference_needs_null.patch:
    - The first time through the Xv code, an allocated buffer is
      unreferenced but the pointer is not reset to NULL. Thus, the next time
      a video is played, -intel thinks it has a valid buffer and crashes
      when it tries to access the freed memory. Fixes a number of crashes
      reported since moving to the 2.6.3 driver.
    - Fixes crash on i945 with frame buffer width > 2048. DRI is disabled
      on this chipset when the frame buffer exceeds this width.
      (LP: #354688)
    - Fixes crash on i865 where DRI is off because of patch 116
      (LP: #352760)
    - Fixes crash on i845 starting after 304871 was fixed
      (LP: #354889)
    - Fixes crash on i830 when manually disabling DRI
      (LP: #347527)

I cannot play any movie files - avi, vob, using the current Intel driver 2.6. If I revert to old driver everything resumes back to normal. I'm able to play all video movies. This is reported on a Ubuntu 9.04 (Jaunty).

Mu integrated Intel chip is 82865G

I have installed the fix as reported in:

http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1130582

to the latest kernel 2.6.30-rc2 and run the fixmtrr.sh script. UXA now will
launch but crashes when anything is opened so it is back to EXA which runs
most video very poorly. Scrolling is about to same, choppy. I used the
xorg.conf as shown and have also tried a number of other ideas but nothing
works. The Intel 865G driver still has serious issues.
