I have been having this on-again off-again problem with XVideo for a few months now. I have finally figured out what the problem is. I would really appreciate it if someone could explain this behavior.
If I have an external monitor connected and have video output going only to the external monitor (and not the built-in LCD) when the X server starts, then I get a blue screen when trying to use XVideo output (tested with both Xine and MPlayer). However, if I have video going to both the external monitor and the LCD, or just the LCD, then everything plays fine with XVideo. It still works even if I have later switched output to solely the external monitor. The key here is that as long the video signal goes to only the external monitor when the X server starts, then XVideo gets hosed. Can anyone explain this?
