This is actually a limitation of XAA when used with the composite extension. Switch to EXA and all will be well. Option "AccelMethod" "EXA" (In reply to comment #1) > This is actually a limitation of XAA when used with the composite extension. > Switch to EXA and all will be well. > Option "AccelMethod" "EXA" > There is a problem, though... I'm having problems with EXA crashing the XServer (see bug http://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=17996) The other option is to use XAA, but not use composite. I see... Even though I'm not using Compiz or AIGLX in any way, I am using Metacity as composite manager... Thanks for the suggestion. |

Using Xorg-video-ati from both GIT and release 6.9.0 built from source with Xorg 7.4/XServer 1.5.0 xvinfo shows that XV is present and usable, however, any program that makes use of XVideo (Xine, for instance) crashes with the message: X Error of failed request: BadAlloc (insufficient resources for operation) Major opcode of failed request: 140 (XVideo) Minor opcode of failed request: 19 () Serial number of failed request: 2307 Current serial number in output stream: 2308 xvinfo shows: X-Video Extension version 2.2 screen #0 Adaptor #0: "Radeon Textured Video" number of ports: 16 port base: 57 operations supported: PutImage supported visuals: depth 24, visualID 0x21 no port attributes defined maximum XvImage size: 2048 x 2048 Number of image formats: 4 id: 0x32595559 (YUY2) guid: 59555932-0000-0010-8000-00aa00389b71 bits per pixel: 16 number of planes: 1 type: YUV (packed) id: 0x32315659 (YV12) guid: 59563132-0000-0010-8000-00aa00389b71 bits per pixel: 12 number of planes: 3 type: YUV (planar) id: 0x30323449 (I420) guid: 49343230-0000-0010-8000-00aa00389b71 bits per pixel: 12 number of planes: 3 type: YUV (planar) id: 0x59565955 (UYVY) guid: 55595659-0000-0010-8000-00aa00389b71 bits per pixel: 16 number of planes: 1 type: YUV (packed) Just to reiterate that this happens with both GIT and release versions of Xorg-video-ati driver, and that the hardware is an RS690M based X1200 Radeon in my laptop. Using X11 SHM driver on any video player works just fine, though with the degraded performance you might expect from it in fullscreen.
