I tested after your mail and can confirm it partially (I have the same
video chipset btw).
VLC with opengl firstly has a problem with the window management, it
keeps drawing the video window over all other interface elements
making the menu's etc. completely unusable.
Secondly - in the opengl(glx) section of the settings, there is an
option for "alternate fullscreen method" the default works fine
(barring the above rendering issue) but if you enable this, it cause
VLC on attempting fullscreen to lock up and stop playing. This may
well be related to your issue though I was not able to replicate a
full X crash on my side (this could easily just be some other setting
that's different between the two systems).

Well I've got the same chipset, but I don't really use VLC.
