Bug Description

Binary package hint: xine-ui

I'm using a fresh install of Edgy on an Intel P4 PC using an ATI radeon 9700pro with the proprietary fglrx driver. Xine core dumps on startup:

This is xine (X11 gui) - a free video player v0.99.4.
(c) 2000-2004 The xine Team.
Floating point exception (core dumped)

I tried retracing your crash file with apport-retrace. unfortunately, I couldn't get any useful information. any chance you could try xine-lib 1.1.4 from feisty?

I tried installing xine-lib from feisty, but get the exact same thing. I'm going to try reinstalling with an actual edgy CD rather than upgrading from my dapper CD just to make sure it's just not something wrong with my installation.

I compiled libxine 1.1.4 from source and got the same thing, so it seems like the bug is in libxine itself and not a bug introduced in the Ubuntu package.

Coming late to the party, and problem not telling you anything you don't already know, but...

I'm using Debian Etch, and had the same problem. If I switch back to the using the generic "ati" driver for xorg, however, DVD video plays fine. If I switch to the fglx proprietary drivers, Xine/Totem/Ogle etc all crash immediately on launch.

The workaround I'm using is two xorg.conf files, one for gaming and one for video.

Ditto with Ubuntu 7.10 and fglrx drivers (ATI Radeon 9600). Tried both xine.lib from Gutsy repo and 1.1.8 compiled from source.

It seems to be a bug in the fglrx driver provided by Ubuntu.
I've downloaded the actual fglrx driver form the AMD Homepage, version 8.47.3 and installed it.
Now xine works fine and refreshrates over 60Hz are also possible.
