Xine barely starts up, and when I close xine, X crashes. The image xine
shows is wrong too. green and purple parts of the image are not aligned
properly. This is also the case for gxine (although X doesn't crash on
closing).

after the crash I found this line repeated three times in my Xorg.0.log:
(EE) FBDEV(0): FBIOBLANK: Invalid argument
followed by:

I have slack current (24-04-2007), an nvidia card, and use fbdev (frame
buffer driver for my video card) right now. My kernel version is a git
pulled 2.6.21-rc7 kernel. I realize there are more variables here that may
be causing problems, but maybe running videos using fbdev is known to be
problematic?
I used to run the nvidia blob, but recently tested nouveau and was running
fbdev after that, Yet, I would like to be able to watch a movie once in a
while. Going back to nvidia now was problematic as well, possibly due to
the new kernel, or could the upgrade of X be causing problems?
