Description Sven Arvidsson 2007-12-27 16:10:30 UTC 
Using the radeon driver with EXA results in text in the YouTube player being renderded as blocks. This happens for both the elapsed time display, and the watch again buttons. It's working fine with XAA acceleration (which is the default).

I had a somewhat similar problem with EXA, see bug 13797, which is probably a bug in Cairo. I'm guessing this is something similar, but I'm filing it here first to be sure.

I'm using swfdec 0.5.5 and version 6.7.197 of the radeon driver.

Attached is a screenshot of the problem.

This is pretty likely a bug in the X server or the driver of your X server, so I'm assigning this to the X guys. Swfdec is just using Pango via Cairo to render the text.

What would be helpful would be infos about your X version and config.

Xorg configuration file

I'm using Xorg on Debian unstable, it's versioned 1.4.1~git20071212, with a AIT Radeon 9100. 

My configuration file is pretty generic, but I'm attaching it just in case.

This seems to work fine now. Not sure what fixed it as I have updated both swfdec, the video driver, and other parts of X.
