Xserver-xorg crashing on Xvideo with i810 driver



Hello!

i have the following problem:
i have a medion sim 2010 latop with integrated Intel Corporation Mobile
915GM/GMS/910GML Express Graphics Controller

if u use the vesa driver, all is fine, although slow, and some programs
don't start due to missing xvideo support (even if xdpyinfo reports
xvideo as loaded...)

as soon as i use the i810 driver, graphics speed up, but as soon as i
start something that uses more evolved stuff (tvtime, mplayer etc) the
screen first freezes, then shows only the background , goes black, shows
the original X waiting symbol and doesn't bulge anymore, no way to acces
the consoles or stop the xserver, i have to login through the network
and restart (!) the laptop.

Just restarting gdm doesn't do the job...

i am running debian unstable from today...

any help appreciated
