More complete backtrace with ftgl debuginfo for example

Searching through the web gave me an interesting report that seems to be very alike this one. The comment from here http://code.google.com/p/clementine-player/issues/detail?id=291#c22 seems to have the solution.

Thx for your report.
Please test on vlc-1.1.4-6.fc13 (once it will be built).

Where we can found that build? I know only about 

http://buildsys.rpmfusion.org/build-status/job.psp?uid=8527

but it has links just to logs not final rpm(s).

I think you should look at : http://buildsys.rpmfusion.org/plague-results/fedora-14-rpmfusion_free/vlc/1.1.4-6.fc14/x86_64/

Logs from VLC messages box

So I've looked around a bit, and unfortunately it still don't work, but doesn't crash anymore, a good step forward.

VLC console output don't show up any significant thing, seems to be ok :

-----------------
Playback →
No Textures Loaded from /usr/share/projectM/textures
[projectM] Allocating idle preset...
[PresetFactory] path is Geiss & Sperl - Feedback (projectM idle HDR mix).milk
[PresetFactory] url is idle://Geiss & Sperl - Feedback (projectM idle HDR mix).milk

-----------------
Stop Playback →
[~MilkdropPresetFactory] destroy infix ops
[~MilkdropPresetFactory] destroy builtin func
[~MilkdropPresetFactory] delete preset out puts
[~MilkdropPresetFactory] done

And as seen in the attachment there is a lot of repeating messages « xcb_glx debug: unhandled event * ». I don't know what exactly goes on there.

tested and works for me

Julien:
I guess xcb_glx is related to OpenGL and you probably don't have 3d support "installed" - mesa-drivers-experimental for nouveau or ati video drivers (not needed for binary drivers kmod-nvidia, kmod-catalyst).

I've an Intel Chipset, and 3D is activated. Really don't know what it could be.

projectm visualization works using:
LC_NUMERIC=C vlc
A fix have been made to the 1.1.x branch (will be fixed upstream in 1.1.6).

Fixed with vlc 1.1.7.

yum update --enablerepo=updates-testing

only in F-14 for now, will be provided in F-13 once #1619 is fixed.

I meant:
yum update --enablerepo=rpmfusion-free-updates-testing vlc\*
