I'm the reporter of the bug in Ubuntu. Please feel free to contact me if you want to test something.

Thank you.
Comment 5 Jesse Barnes 2009-05-11 11:21:26 UTC 
Adjusting severity: crashes & hangs should be marked critical.
Comment 6 haihao 2009-07-13 23:01:34 UTC 
Overlay works fine here. Could you try the latest driver?
Comment 7 ramon 2009-07-14 14:38:51 UTC 
I've tried version 2.7.99.901 (the version included in the latest Ubuntu Karmic) and I've had the same problem.
Comment 8 haihao 2009-07-14 18:08:32 UTC 
You should update your DRM module too.
Comment 9 ramon 2009-07-17 15:57:51 UTC 
I was using Ubuntu Karmic, so my DRM version was 2.4.11
Comment 10 haihao 2009-07-19 18:09:29 UTC 
2.4.11 should be the version of libdrm, not DRM kernel module.
Comment 11 ramon 2009-07-20 05:59:26 UTC 
Yes, libdrm was version 2.4.11
Comment 12 haihao 2009-07-20 18:35:31 UTC 
I mean you should upgrade your kernel. There are many fixed in DRM since 2.6.28. BTW if possible, could you grab all drivers from GIT?
Comment 13 ramon 2009-08-14 13:49:45 UTC 
I've tried with Arch Linux and I can reproduce the problem in this distro too. Same machine, kernel 2.6.30.4, libdrm version 2.4.12 and driver version 2.7.99.902.
Comment 14 Gordon Jin 2009-09-13 20:47:01 UTC 
Sorry we still can't reproduce this video overlay issue and have to decrease priority at this point.

A side note: why do you use the video overlay, instead of the default textured video (which used to have tearing issue but has been fixed now)?
Comment 15 ramon 2009-09-14 02:40:36 UTC 
I've been using Textured Video since the tearing problem was solved.
Comment 16 Chris Wilson 2010-07-09 03:10:07 UTC 
We've been unable to reproduce the original bug in the overlay code. Though it would be good if the kernel overlay code could similarly be validated...
