From xorg-server 1.2 to xorg-server 1.4.0.90 I have weird problems with the display that seem to be caused by the ati driver. There is some slight difference when I turn on EXA--but that isn't much: Video output turns black after the first window event (mouseover, for example, but over any window) but comes back after moving or resizing the video-displaying window. The other behaviors are the same with any server configuration except that compositing without EXA is darn slow: - When I turn on compositing, video doesn't compose (though it did one single time as I started the fresh xorg 7.3 installation) but flickers at window movement. - the second video output always overlays the first one - OpenGL output (Mesa 7.0.2) is always on top, no matter if the window is behind another window - OpenGL output concurs with eachother, flickering I tried the new 6.7.x series but these drivers all fall back to 800x600 at start of both the display manager and the desktop (though I can set 1600x1200 from the desktop configuration--but the display is slightly blurred and some part leaks at the left side.)
Please attach your xorg log and config. If you are using Xv, you can't composite the video since it's an overlay. the video is overlaid on the colorkey by the hw during scan out.
I don't understand what you write about colorkeys. What I see is that xine always uses Xv by default and that the video is also floating into parts of my email client or browser. I thought that Xv is the one to choose. I tried the OpenGL driver but that is even more penetrating. Xine offers the following drivers: dxr3 aadxr3 xv opengl SyncFB xshm aa xxmc vidix vidixfb fb xvmc sdl I tried some but without a better result. Which should be the right one?
I can't attach a file because of this: Internal Error Bugzilla has suffered an internal error.

Xv works fine, just not with composited desktops with translucent windows since the data never gets written to the framebuffer, it gets "overlaid" during scan out.
I'm not sure what's fine about that. How can I see composited video? What driver is to use? Or must xine support something special? And what about OpenGL output?

Created attachment 13860 [details] trying out if attaching works now Benjamin Close asked me if attaching works now. So I try it out here... I wrote to the xine people about the video problem but there's no clear vision about it yet, it seems. Can xine use video acceleration via the compositor? Otherwise, xine would have to swap over the single frames?
Comment on attachment 13860 [details] trying out if attaching works now There are dbus and hal problems you can ignore. Hal crashes since the new release and there's no new release out yet.
Have read about DRI2 and see that things are in the works.
