Bug#628224: enabling hardware acceleration crashes vlc with segmentation fault

[Der Strahler]

Hi there,

yesterday I installed libva1 (1.0.15-1)  and corresponding 
libva-dev
libva-glx1
libva-tpi1
libva-x11-1  

A test video was played. And VLC did not crash. 

I wanted to log some data, but my KDE Desktop (4.7.4-1 - taken from 
experimental) totally became unresponsible. 
The video still played, but as soon as kwin needed to "do a desktop effect" I 
got an unresponsible system for approx. 5 minutes. 
But vlc was still playing and sound was working, too. 
After 15min I was able to return to a console (CTRL + ALT + F2) and downgraded 
libva1 to 1.0.14-1 again -> restart of KDE and I got an responsive system 
back. But vlc crashed again. As before. 

Sorry, I know, it's not a well documented bug report. 

But if I should monitor or test something more / else / again, just let me 
know. 

Thanks for dealing with this problem!

Cheers

Timo
