We would need a GDB trace in order to know what happen (GDB is a debugger). Could you 1) enable the core debug medium, then 2) install at least the following packages: gcc-debug, glibc-debug, x11-server-debug, gdb 3) go to a text console (eg: press Ctrl-Alt-F2), log in as root (not in an X11 terminal) 4) run "pidof X" or "pidof Xorg" in order to get the Process ID of the x11 server 5) attach gdb to the X11 server thanks to the PID you just got. just run: gdb -q /usr/bin/Xorg <PID> 6) type the follwing commands: handle SIGUSR1 nostop handle SIGUSR2 nostop handle SIGPIPE nostop cont 7) return back to X11 (press Ctrl+F7) 8) play your video; once X11 crashed, return back to the console (Ctrl+Alt+F2) then type "bt" in gdb and copy the stack trace in a file you will attach here

You forgot to type the "cont" command thus GDB didn't enable the X server to continue its execution and x11 just remained paused

It's a proprietary driver bug...

Yea, appending the following to /etc/X11/xorg.conf solves the problem. Section "Extensions" Option "XVideo" "Disable" EndSection Solution needs to go into the errata document for fglrx users, unless you want to tack it onto a post scriptlet to the fglrx rpm. Thank you for your time. That was one of four of my blockers for converting to Mageia 2 from Mandriva 2011.

Can you test with current cauldron, there is now fglrx 8.950 which I think should fix this issue?
x11-driver-video-fglrx-8.950-1.mga2.nonfree does fix the problem on my old single core cpu and quad cpu system. Guessing you will change the errata document.
