[gentoo-user] xf86-video-intel, compiz, mplayer -fs file.avi freeze

I have a MSI Wind U100 netbook. I'm using xfce with compiz-fusion.

When I try to start mplayer -fs file.avi the Xserver freezes. It also 
freezes when the logout window of xfce, that gray "transparent" 
background, tries to show 3 buttons (logout, restart, poweroff). I can 
only move mouse cursor. Pressing ctrl+fN, ctrl+backspace, clicking ... 
does not work. Xorg.0.log says something like "EQ overflowing" and 
something about "infinite loop". I don't have access to it right now (I'm 
in job).

When compiz is disabled everything works well.

Everything started to happen after move from xf86-video-i810 to 
xf86-video-intel. At least this is a time when it stopped to work for me.

I've checked some other versions of that driver by unmasking it and it's
dependencies... I tried changing to XAA, EXA in xorg.conf but it did not 
helped.

Can some one help me with this?

I cannot solve your problem because I know little of X and nothing
about compiz (which I consider futile), but for this kind of problem,
you may want to know about the magic SysRq key. It allows you to at
least reboot your system cleanly when the system seems locked, and
some times can even help you kill the bad program an resume work.

Thanks.

I solved problem by recompiling whole Xorg to version same as in ubuntu.

How about you replace the <= symbols by '~', such that revision
updates are also alwowed?

I'll try as soon as I fix my laptop. It survived journey across the country,
daily trips by bus... But it didn't survived my mother taking care of flowers.
