Dear Maintainers,

When opening a video file in the Parole media player, the entire screen goes
black and the session freezes causing the application to be completely
unusable, what I do then is to change TTY and login as root to make a reboot

I checked that Xorg video drivers were installed and also the necessar video
codecs (GStreamer plugins) and changed my display manager from LXDM to LightDM
and none of those things worked

I'm an Xfce user, I'm on a Lenovo C200 computer with Trixie, but I also have a
Acer Aspire One D255E with Trixie and Xfce and the same thing happens
