When using the fglrx driver, the frontend didn't crash, per se. I was 
never able to view any video, and got a black screen, with the same X 
error message repeated several times a second in the terminal window 
from which I launched the frontend. I can't recall if I was able to 
cleanly exit or not. With the radeon driver, I didn't have the problem, 
but it has its own issues w/1920x1080 sources (I'm told it is an Xv 
scaling bug in the driver).
