Description Alwin Bakkenes 2007-10-01 21:57:02 UTC

I have a fully up-to-date fedora 8 test 2 distro running but use the GIT intel driver.

I drive a flat TV at 1920x1080x60Hz using a Gigabyte GA-G33M-S2H motherboard using its HDMI port. 

When playing video via the standard XV port I see rather severe video tearing, especially when the camera is panning through a scene. I can solve this by using the XV Overlay port but I cannot specify MythTV to use this port. Also, when doing a video slideshow from myth using the OpenGL extensions, the animations show signs of tearing. 

As a sidenote; when using the XV Overlay port, the xwindow server crashes the second time I try to play a video (I'll file a separate for that). 

I found this (http://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/xorg/2007-August/027306.html) thread explaining the root-cause and some potential issues. So this bugreport is probably a duplicate.
