** Description changed:
When playing videos using XV on -ati, totem, mplayer, vlc, and other
players simply display a blank green screen. Without xv, the green
screen is not seen, however there are often other problems.
From reports from various commenters (below), it seems as though there
are several different bugs that can produce this set of symptoms. So we
are asking people to file separate reports for each case.
You should file a new bug unless all of the following match EXACTLY to
an existing bug:
* Symptoms
* Steps to reproduce
* Steps to workaround
* Chipset ID (down to the PCI ID)
If in doubt, file a new bug and mention the bug ID of the one(s) you
think are similar. It is easy for us to dupe multiple bugs together.
Next, follow these steps:
1. Test against Jaunty. It's fine to do this either by a) upgrading,
or b) downloading and running the LiveCD (ISOs are at
http://cdimages.ubuntu.com/releases/jaunty).
2. See if you can reproduce the issue with Xv. If not, stop here;
you're done (unless you want to help test anyway.)
3. Back up your xorg.conf
4. If you still see the issue, take detailed notes of what you see.
Please test each case with BOTH mplayer and Totem.
* What color is the play window?
* Out of 10 tries, how many times did it show the symptom?
* What happens if you use Option "AccelMethod" "XAA"? EXA?
* What happens if Desktop Effects is turned off? on?
* What happens if AIGLX is disabled? enabled?
* What happens if you set the depth to 16bpp? 24bpp? 32bpp?
* Does using x11 instead of xv make the green screen go away?
* Does changing the AGPMode option help?
Possible values include 1, 2, 4, 8.
* Does using Option "VideoKey" "0x01" help?
5. Now you're ready to file the bug. Please follow these steps:
a) Restore your backup xorg.conf and reboot
b) Reproduce the issue one time.
c) Look at 'lspci -nn | grep VGA' to get chipset and pci id.
Chipset will be something like 7500, HD 2600XT, etc.
The PCI ID will be the last part in the brackets. like [104c:8023]
d) Run `ubuntu-bug xserver-xorg-video-ati` to create the bug.
This automatically includes the files we need.
e) Title your bug like: "Xv playback shows green screen on [104c:XXXX]"
Replace XXXX with your PCI ID found above.
(Include additional symptoms, hw info, etc. in title as relevant)
f) Paste your answers from step 4 above.
g) Make mention of this bug, #150519
h) On this bug, add a comment mentioning your new bug number so
others can keep track.
