Public bug reported: If I try to play any video (DVD, AVI files, whatever) with Movie Player, then it usually gives me a blank screen. However, if I select a 1:1 zoom or 1:2 zoom or something like that, it does seem to show it. But then it disappears again when a DVD chapter change occurs. It seems that video scaling isn't working.
This video card worked with older Ubuntu 10.10 version, but not 11.10 (I didn't try 11.04).
