SInce you are using overlay Xv as far as compiz can tell your video doesn't actually exist and it is drawing on top of a black window, thus the solid black shadow. If you tried with mplayer it would show a blue shadow because it would be drawing on top of a blue window.
Your driver needs to support and use textured Xv by default on your video card. ** Package changed: compiz (Ubuntu) => xserver-xorg-video-ati (Ubuntu) -- Compiz window shadows rendered black above Totem video https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/474147 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu-X, which is subscribed to xserver-xorg-video-ati in ubuntu. _______________________________________________ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-x-swat Post to : [email protected] Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-x-swat More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
