So wontfix bugs will stay open forever?

But you seem to contradict that. Please can > you explain? Hardware scaling is not for slow machines. Hardware scaling is simply the faster way to scale. Not supporting hardware scaling amounts to not having fullscreen playback on moderately fast or slow machines that could otherwise perfectly handle the load and needlessly burning CPU cycles on fast ones. If your machine is fast enough, go ahead, add vo=x11 to your configuration file. But using this as a package default is going to do a lot of damage for almost everybody else. Not to mention that the -zoom option is necessary to get scaling at all then. > > Look at the screenshot filter, I think it will allow you to take > > screenshots even with the xv video output driver. > > > > As for Beryl, report the bug to them... > > Sorry, I didn't explain well.

This is because X does not handle the overlay video memory directly. Now why don't you try the screenshot filter as I suggested?
