Stephen,
I have the same problem with the Nvidia drivers. The only thing that works ok
is xawtv capturing direct off the video capture card with the device called out as
xawtv -c /dev/v4l/video0
Everthing else, EVERY other player gives me blue garbage or a smear on the screen.
Well, that's not quite true. They are ok in full screen mode. The only fix I could
find was to use the nv drivers.
I would really like to figure this one out as well, cause I can't play Tux now.
