[Bug 641908] New: Flash video players freeze X when full screen (but don't lock machine)
https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=641908 https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=641908#c0 Summary: Flash video players freeze X when full screen (but don't lock machine) Classification: openSUSE Product: openSUSE 11.3 Version: Final Platform: i586 OS/Version: openSUSE 11.3 Status: NEW Severity: Critical Priority: P5 - None Component: X.Org AssignedTo: bnc-team-xorg-bugs@forge.provo.novell.com ReportedBy: robcollins55@aim.com QAContact: xorg-maintainer-bugs@forge.provo.novell.com Found By: --- Blocker: --- User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-GB; rv:1.9.2.10) Gecko/20100914 SUSE/3.6.10-0.3.1 Firefox/3.6.10 This is a bug that has been previously confused/linked with bug 620157 and is in fact (we believe) quite separate. This bug effects my graphics but may effect other hardware, I am not sure: Manufacturer: Intel Corporation Model: 965 GM This report is for item "2" of the two bugs summarised by Jay Ashworth in comment 81 of aforementioned bug report. Item "1" has as commented been resolved. The full comment 81 is as follows: "I'm now quite certain that there are two separate bugs involved here: 1) Flashplayer in fullscreen causes a hard lockup: entire machine falls over, no ping response, if audio was playing, it loops at the hardware buffer size; only a powercycle clears the problem... which is FIXED by upgrading to the 2.6.34.4 kernel, and is the subject of all three bugs which were marked as dupes of this -- but is *not* the subject of this actual bug, based on the original report, and 2) Flashplayer in fullscreen freezes X; the audio from the video keeps playing continuously, not in a loop, but the video freezes, and (in some cases) the user can switch to a text console--possibly only once--and kill X without having to reboot. This latter description is pretty clearly the actual bug here on 620157, and if you read all 4 descriptions, you can see that the other three are *not* this particular failing." Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1.Open a browser to a page playing flash video 2.click video into fullscreen mode 3.video freezes leaving audio playing normally Actual Results: video freezes/hangs leaving audio playing normally Expected Results: flash video should reliably play fullscreen but instead hangs/freezes leaving audio playing normally -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.

Sounds like the bug, which has been fixed by xf86-video-intel 2.13.0 release. So it would be resolved by updating to latest xorg-x11-driver-video package in obs://X11:XOrg. Rob, can you confirm that?
So could you please give it a try and report back about your results? zypper ar -f \ http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/X11:/XOrg/openSUSE_11.3/ \ X11:XOrg zypper mr -p 90 X11:XOrg zypper ref zypper dup -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.

I have exactly the same problem. However, if i not killing X soon after hang keyboard became unusable and only reboot fix the situation.
Contradiction? This sounds more like Bug #620157, although you already upgraded to kernel 2.6.34.7. Hmm...
I've tried solution proposed by Stefan and it not helped. Anyway, seems like intel driver in this repo is 2.9.1, not 2.13.0: xorg-x11-driver-video-intel-legacy-2.9.1-2.4.i586
That's the legacy driver, which isn't used unless you specified it manually as such in your /etc/X11/xorg.conf(.d/). -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.

Dmitriy, I'm waiting for the feedback by Rob Collins, the original reporter.
Sorry Stefan, been a bit pre-occupied lately with other issues. I just checked the laptop concerned and it has the following from http://download.opensuse.org/distribution/11.3/repo/oss/: xorg-x11-driver-video version 7.5-15.2 Which I guess is the stock standard, right? I do not have the machine here with me tonight but will try your instructions in comment 3 tomorrow - you still want me to try it right? -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.

Unable to fix the problem due to secondary font problem?
At least it's a requirement to fix the font problem first. * /usr/share/fonts/misc/fonts.alias with "fixed" entry missing? * /usr/share/fonts/misc/fonts.dir with entry for -misc-fixed-medium-r-semicondensed--13-120-75-75-c-60-iso8859-1 missing? * /usr/share/fonts/misc/6x13-ISO8859-1.pcf.gz missing? package xorg-x11-fonts-core * possibly it's already enough to run SuSEconfig ...
Could I just install the font "fixed"?

If you think i encounter bug 620157 - i can reopen it for you as well, if it's easier for you to track defects.
*Please* keep this 87 comments bug *closed*. It's enough confusion in it. I'm not interested into getting it worse than it already is.

After installing the drivers from the repositories mentioned in comment 24 (e.g., xorg-x11 7.5.111.1 or kernel-desktop 2.6.36.90.1) I did not experience any further lockup while watching 1.5h of full screen flash video from firefox. Thus the problem is either solved or the situation is at least significantly improved. I will report back should the problem reoccur.
Ok. Let's assume the issue is fixed. Otherwise please reopen.
[ Some notes from the process: -Could not install these xorg drivers without updating the kernel as well (updating only the xorg packages resulted in a black kdm login screen). -New kernel runs ok except it is highly unstable with current Virtualbox 3.2.10. ]
