error message

[Ryan Reddy]

I just grabbed the drivers from the NVIDIA site.  I
then tried to run VLC again and I received this error:

"Xlib: unexpected async reply (sequence 0x2166) !
Multiple segmentation faults occurred; can't display
error dvout error: didn't find a suitable xvideo image
input port."

What can I do now?

thanks
