I thought I'd try out the new i810 driver for my intel card (IBM X41 Tablet) and while most of X seems to work just fine, even with compiz, mplayer is just plain busted (see mplayer output followed by xvinfo output below) in that it shows a black window (window decorations are intact, but it's just a black box) and audio comes through just fine. While the video plays, this line is repeated over and over:
I've a i915, and it happens the same thing with beryl. However, if I switch to metacity everything is fine, so I suppose there is a problem with beryl/compiz... or maybe the chip is just unable to use both beryl and Xv, but then beryl/compiz should be fixed so it gives the resources to Xv when in use.
My question then is: is this the kind of thing that I should report as a bug? And if so, to whom? Freedesktop.org or Gentoo.org?
Probably compiz/beryl; I tell you, with the exact same X configuration and metacity, MPlayer works perfectly. You can work around it (a little) using "mplayer -vo x11" or editing ~/.mplayer/config and putting "vo=x11". Then you can play videos, but you loose real fullscreen. -- Canek Peláez Valdés Facultad de Ciencias, UNAM -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list
