Distro: Gentoo Xorg: 6.8.1.904 CVS snapshot savage driver: 09-02-2005 Hardware: Acer Aspire 1312LC with ProSavageDDR Kernel: 2.6.10-gentoo-r4 In general, this combination of Xorg and CVS driver works well, both in 2D and 3D. However, I've still some problems with Xv: 1. In Kaffeine 0.5, when using a fixed window which displays video's scaled rather than 1x, 2x or full screen, I get gray and green artefacts. See screenshot attached. These also appear when, for instance, one moves kaffeine's window. This was not the case with the old driver (pre 2.0 cvs snapshot) 2. I use a default hardware cursor---no 3d effects for example. When using mplayerplug-in in Firefox, my cursor sometimes disappears after closing an embedded stream, for example after pressing the `back' button in the browser. A workaround was to bring the embedded stream to full screen and back to embedded. After that action, the cursos didn't disappear anymore. The `disappearing' was just disappearing, it did still work, as visible when moving over links etc. 3. I'm problem with tv-out. First, the window visible on tv is too small. This happens with both with 1024x768 and 800x600 (didn't try smaller res.) Further, xv doesn't work properly on tv-out. The movie is displaced to the bottom rightcorner. This didn't happen with the previous driver either.
Created attachment 1899 [details] Kaffeine screenshot
Situation still the same with 20050410 snapshot.

Also, there are no artefacts in xv with the old driver. Something has become worse here rather than better. >
