[Slackbuilds-users] new VLC always crashes

[David Melik]

after some version of VLC in the last year or so, it always crashes.  I 
did 'sboupgrade -z -f vlc' (rebuild it and all dependencies) and it 
still happens.  It's not an X driver issue as KPlayer and Rosa Player 
work fine (but most other media players, like Xine, MPlayer, Dragon 
Player now also don't.)  Here's the log, but I don't even have any 
Nvidia hardware. I open an .avi or .mp4, then get this sort of crash.
