Summary: xf86-video-i810 cannot play videos
Product: DRI
Version: unspecified
Platform: x86 (IA32)
OS/Version: All
Status: NEW
Severity: normal
Priority: high
Component: libdrm
AssignedTo: dri-devel@lists.sourceforge.net
ReportedBy: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Under the current release of Gentoo Linux, xorg-server 1.4 with xf86-video-i810
2.1.0 and above cannot replay videos (mpg, avi, wmv). This is a bug filed
under (bugs.gentoo.org : 197850). Under Gentoo, older versions of X with the
xf86-video-i810 <= 2.0.0 were able to properly display videos.
The explicit problem appears to be a triple reflection (ghost/echo) in the
video displaced somewhere across the screen). I strongly suspect attempts to
enhance video display rates in the i810 driver may be at fault. This is only
evident in video program players (e.g. mplayer or totem). It does not effect
normal screen presentation with or without DRI (i.e. glxgears works fine in
both contexts).
However, if anyone reading this would like to comment on the plans for DRI
working across multiple X instantions (VTs) I would like to be informed about
it. It took me nearly a year to discover that current X implementations were
only intended to support a single DRI terminal. (And I always puzzled over
those X log files where it indicated that DRI was not supported.) [It is not
unusual for me to run my PC with 4+ VT's with hundreds or perhaps even
thousands of windows and/or sub-windows (tabs) open in a browser running for a
month or more.]
