You are correct - there is no actual disable button - what I meant to say is in Tools>Preferences>Video then in the screen where you can change things simply "UNTICK" the "Accelerated Video Output" and then on the right hand side for "Output" if I recall correctly (I'm pretty sure) - it was originally set at "Automatic" and it was this that I changed to the first option in the list when I opened the list being OpenGL GLX video output (XCB)
Version is found from menu Help/About, but it doesn't matter, the end result is that you now have VLC working and a possible solution for the future.
1) Lenovo T520 i5 LL3.8 8GB ram, fast & stable
2) Medion P4 32bit LL3.8 1GB ram, quite fast & stable
3) eeePC 901 32bit LL3.8 1GB ram, fast & stable
4) eeePC 701 32bit LL3.8 1GB ram, slower & stable but small and light enough to travel with me to New Zealand when visiting family in Blenheim.
