xorg log

My right display goes black at random intervals when using XV.

When playing video both displays remain normal for 20-30 seconds before the right screen goes black.  It remains black for 1-5 seconds before returning to normal.  This is often followed by a succession of black screen events that are 1-10 seconds apart. This is followed by another 20-30 seconds of normality before the problem repeats.

When the video is paused the black screens cease.  When the video is unpaused they return.

It doesn't matter which display the video window is on: left, right, or straddling both.

The following players trigger the bug: mplayer, xine, totem

I'm currently unable to try VLC.

Hardware:

Dual 1920x1200 LCD's
Asus EAH3650 PCIe Card (RV635)
Biostar TP45HP
Q6600

Distribution: Debian Lenny

XOrg GIT from r6xx-r7xx-support branch:

drm is at commit 4cf376338cb96cc3b951415e7ebd9ef9e3339278

P.S.  It's exciting to see XV support so soon!

I got the motherboard mixed up with another machine.

It's a Foxconn G31AX-K, an Intel G31 board.

Does this issue occur with the preferred ati driver (xf86-vide-ati)?  If so, please move this to the Driver/Radeon component.  

Development of radeonhd has pretty much halted and development focus is on the ati driver.  Please see http://www.x.org/wiki/radeonhd

If the issue does not exist in the ati driver (or if there is no response to this message), this bug will be closed as WONTFIX unless someone contributes a patch.
Comment 6 Jeremy Huddleston Sequoia 2011-11-07 15:18:13 UTC
Closing due to lack of response.  Please reopen and move to the Driver/Radeon 
component if this issue persists with xf86-video-ati
