With xf86-video-ati GIT compiled at 1302d1b019c8091986aaf9c86b25c1f36a037788, any attempt to display a video, on any format (YUY2 and YV12), produces an annoying vertical flickering. This occurs after commit that fixed bug #12744. Flickering occurs even when pausing video, and is therefore not related to double buffering. Verified with mplayer, totem, and gstreamer test in GNOME.

Module fglrx was forcibly unloaded before test.

Did this used to work smoothly in the past?

Yes, it did, back when using Fedora Core 7.

While checking whether reversing the patch for bug #12744, I realized this bug is no longer reproducible on my setup. Therefore I close my bug as INVALID.
