I just tested the actual solutions and I did not get good results, ATI mobility radeon X300 :
Using "VideoOverlay" "on" xvinfo works, playing video without compiz works, but playing video with compiz just gives a black screen. Using "TexturedVideo" "on" same as VideoOverlay, but the video appears with compiz and never stop flashing and appears over all windows (screenshot attached) Using both same as TexturedVideo. Therefore, I set add back the linux-restricted-modules package to the list since I'm not sure if this problem is just about driver options in xorg.conf file. ** Attachment added: "Screenshot-2.png" http://launchpadlibrarian.net/12699890/Screenshot-2.png ** Description changed: using an up to date amd64 hardy and the repositorie's fglrx drivers The xv output is not working for video playback. Since the opengl bug it is quite annoying since the only output available is a very slow x11. - Update : The fix for this bug is to add this in the "Device" section of - your /etc/X11/xorg.conf file - - Option "TexturedVideo" "on" - - Regards -- Z. -- [hardy] fglrx xv output not available for video playback https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/197639 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
