I have the same problem as Tabletcorry. Playing any video causes the screen to flicker before the video is played using overlay. Sometimes the screen changes to the random color as said and nothing can be done to make the display work again, except for restarting. This problem is only on 8.10 and did not occur on any of the previous versions.
I however did manage to decrease the frequency of it from 20% of videos i open to about 5% using a driconf fix. I forced mplayer to use vertical refresh using driconf. After that the flicker still exists but the video plays most of the time. However the screen freeze still occurs on occasions. lspci | grep -i vga 00:02.0 VGA compatible controller: Intel Corporation Mobile GM965/GL960 Integrated Graphics Controller (rev 0c) On Sat, Nov 15, 2008 at 9:57 AM, Tabletcorry <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > I forgot to mention that the same thing happens without the patch, if > mplayer is used with the Video Overlay port, i.e. > > mplayer -vo xv:port=84 foo.avi > > where port 84 is the "Adaptor #1: "Intel(R) Video Overlay"" port. > > Also, this happens regardless of whether or not compiz is activated. > Here is some info on my setup: > > Ubuntu 8.10 > lspci | grep -i vga > 00:02.0 VGA compatible controller: Intel Corporation Mobile GM965/GL960 > Integrated Graphics Controller (rev 0c) > > -- > video tearing with textured video on intel card > https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/278318 > You received this bug notification because you are a direct subscriber > of the bug. > -- video tearing with textured video on intel card https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/278318 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
