Is this in a Desktop or a Laptop? If it is a laptop or using a DVI Flat Panel then you are likely suffering from the same problem discussed over the last few days on this list under the "Correction for i810 driver" subject.
I think Egbert Eich was looking into committing a fix for the issue. If you can build from CVS, you can test the results of that fix when he has integrated it. As for why it changed from one version to another? I can't really say however perhaps one of the earlier patches made it in to SuSE's sources and didn't resolve the issue. -Matt -----Original Message----- From: Torsten Bergander [mailto:virtualizer@;v2w.de] Sent: Thursday, October 17, 2002 12:07 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: [Xpert]i815 trouble Dear all, when playing back movies using the Xv extensions I get a "blue screen" insted off the visual part of the movie. I used mplayer and xine under linux to investigate this issue. Histrory: All worked fine with SuSE 8.0 and their Xfree version (4.2.0). The full screen output had a small blue vertical bar on the right side. I used mplayer in -vo xv as well as -vo sdl output mode. Now: I am using SuSE 8.1 and their Xfree version (4.2.0). The small vertical bar has grown to fill the complete screen. No matter what player I am using. Interesting this is, that if I do use mplayer and its -vo sdl in fullscreen I do see 1/6 of the actual movie on the left side wile there rest is "covered" with a blue rectangle. Things I did: I updated to the latest dripkg, hoping for the issue to be resolved. No success. Also I played around with different color depths. Didn't help. I recompiled mplayer and xine. Read through tons of list mail. The only thing that worked (but unacceptably slow) is using x11 (shared mem (?)) output method. After hours of IRC discussions I feel out of options of where to look next. E.g. is there a way of turning overlay of, or is that not a good idea? Hints: It seems that the only relevant difference is that SuSE 8.1 is built with gcc 3.2 whereas the 8.0 was built with 2.95 (or so). Furthermore, it is said to be a YUV overlay problem of the xfree driver.

I don't know why so many corporate mail servers feel impelled to attach a disclaimer to the bottom of every e-mail message saying otherwise. If you don't know either, why not e-mail your corporate lawyers and system administrators and ask them why they insist on contributing so much to the waste of bandwidth. _______________________________________________ Xpert mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://XFree86.Org/mailman/listinfo/xpert
