Version: 2.0 (using KDE 4.2.4) OS: Linux Installed from: SuSE RPMs Whenever i open 2 instances of dragon player (playing 2 avi videos at least), the whole system freeze. The videos keep playing, but the system does not response to mouse or key events, so i need to make a hard reboot. It happens every time i do it As i cannot longer use the computer, i cannot get the stacktraces
If you start two instances of DragonPlayer but without playing any media.. do you get the same behaviour ? If you play only one video, what is the CPU usage? Do you have any other video (with other format) to test too? Thanks
If i start 2 instances without playing, it works fine. If i start a video, and then another instance of dragon without playing media, works. But if I start an empty instance and then start another with video, then the problem appears This happens in both ext3 and ntfs file systems for both avi and mpeg files. When playing a single video, running in ext3, dragon cpu is about 14% for avi files and 7-8% for mpeg files. when running on ntfs, mount.ntfs-3g need a lot of processing (37%) My computer is an AMD Athlon(tm) 64 X2 Dual Core Processor 4200+ with 2GB RAM If you want me to run any other test, just tell me
Have you tried with any other player to check the same situation? (like VLC, or Mplayer) Checking this we could know if this is related to Dragon/Phonon(the KDE multimedia system) or something in the video server related to the video output. Thanks
Starting 2 instances with VLC results in the same problem. I have an ATI card (lspci | grep ati) 07:00.0 VGA compatible controller: ATI Technologies Inc RV370 5B60 [Radeon X300 (PCIE)] 07:00.1 Display controller: ATI Technologies Inc RV370 [Radeon X300SE] I am using the opensource drivers I just saw that i have installed: i | xorg-x11-driver-video-radeonhd | Driver for AMD GPG (ATI) r5xx/r6xx Chipsets that may cause the problem? that i have a card with R300 but drivers for R500+? if so, do you know how can i install opensource drivers for my card (the name of the package or where can i find a suitable version) Thanks for helping me with this

May be, or some Xorg configuration > if so, do you know how can i install opensource drivers for my card (the name > of the package or where can i find a suitable version) > I don't really know too much about Xorg configurations or the drivers status. I suggest you to ask in your distribution forums: http://forums.opensuse.org/ http://forums.opensuse.org/hardware/ Or may be even searching at google May be related to https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/348332 Regards I'm closing this report as it is not a KDE-only bug.
