Blank screen after stopping video

Is there any word on a fix for this?

I have to add that I've got the same problem.

Mine's not exactly white. Mine defaults to a black background with no text, but it's the same problem.

Ubuntu Hardy Heron 8.04 x32 - Linux 2.6.24-21 - Gnome 2.22 - XBMC alpha 3, 15810 SVN - AMD Turion 64x processor - ATI Mobility Radeon x700 graphics card.

Installed XBMC on Ubuntu 7.10 x86 toady. Latest stable I guess, I enabled the Gutsy PPA repository. I immediately ran into this problem of the screen going white when pressing stop button. I have:

cat /proc/driver/nvidia/version
NVRM version: NVIDIA UNIX x86 Kernel Module 169.12 Thu Feb 14 17:53:07 PST 2008
GCC version: gcc version 4.1.3 20070929 (prerelease) (Ubuntu 4.1.2-16ubuntu2)

lspci | grep -i nvidia
01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: nVidia Corporation NV31 [GeForce FX 5600] (rev a1)

...So this is a pending problem with geforce FX5* I see. Well, hope there will be a more permanent workaround in time....

Bug confirmed on an older machine.

I ran XBMC 2.1a2-hardy2 just fine. For a python chrashing bug I decided to upgrade to XBMC 8.10b2-hardy1 a few days ago, and now I have this problem, too.

When I stop a video, everything turns white. But there is no crash, and if you know the navigation on top of your head, you will notice that everything still works. You can navigate to other video's or music, all is well except for vision.

Powering down and restarting XBMC gets rid of the white, BUT pressing backslash (leaving full-screen) before shutting XBMC down will preserve the white disaster during the entire Linux session, requiring a reboot!

I run Xubuntu 8.04 updated to 30-jul-2008 (later updates disable my sound and I wasted too many hours trying to fix it that I decided to put back an image and never update again) on a Pentium 3 800 MHz with a GeForce 2 MX 400.
