In particular, they objected to the hijacking of the Xv video output - making it a separate video output driver would make the patch much more likely to be accepted.
At least in-principle acceptance upstream would be a prerequisite of patching the Ubuntu package. That said, I'm not sure the video plugin is actually terribly useful now - the big Xv-with-Compiz bugs have mostly been fixed in the drivers. It was supposed to be faster than Xv, but I've seen no benchmarks, and Xv is plenty fast enough for me already ;). -- Use Compiz' "video" plugin when available https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/121476 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
