You can stop the scolling of your powerbooks LCD by setting MergedNonRectangular to true in your device section.

xorg ati external display and XVIDEO
I have tried playing a DVD with xine over the beamer with my Powerbook5,6 ATI Technologies Inc RV350 [Mobility Radeon 9600 M10] X.Org version: 6.8.99.7 (self build). The beamer gets 1280x1024 and the lcd of the laptop scrolls, because he has 1280x854. Observed failure: The xine window playing the movie is dark on the beamer, while it shows the move on the laptop's LCD. I assume it is XVideo, does somebody have this working with driver radeon? Hints appreciated. pgpTs2o7gJG9a.pgp Description: PGP signature

It's a hardware limitation, the overlay can only be active on one display controller at a time.

With this keyword I have found http://www.thinkwiki.org/wiki/Additional_options_for_the_radeon_driver#Video_overlay and used xvattr -a XV_SWITCHCRT -v 1 with http://www.dtek.chalmers.se/groups/dvd/dist/xvattr-1.3.tar.gz and it worked.

It probably doesn't use the video overlay but the 3D engine for video playback. The overlay definitely couldn't do the genie effect. ;) BTW: Is there a reason why xvattr is not packaged in Debian?

There was some disagreement as to which package this should be added to, IIRC. Anyway, you can achieve the overlay setting as a radeon driver option in xorg.conf.

I had the same situation with mplayer if mplayer use xv as video output driver. Using vo=x11 in my ~/.mplayer/config is a solution. Best regards, Bin Hints appreciated.
